Tool # 11

Just as we do in many other areas, we as teachers are laying the foundation for our students' future use of technology in their lives. The development of their technological literacy skills will be crucial to their future success in school and the workplace. For very young children being good digital citizens involves things like proper care of technological devices, being respectful of what others say and do online, and keeping safe while navigating through the world of technology. I would teach digital citizenship to my students through classroom activities appropriate to their age level, showing them how these tools can be valuable in the real world.
