We started our health unit on looking at technology, how to have a positive digital footprint and being safe when using technological forms of communication. To my surprise, students had difficult time coming up with ways we can safely use technology or what type of precautions we need to take when online. This turned into a great teaching point about how technology is everywhere in our lives, but not very often do we talk about what precautions we need.... I think my students saw the importance of the topic at hand just by seeing how stumped they were in generating precautions/factors we need to think about when online!
Digital citizenship is so important in the lives our children, especially since I think we sometimes take technology for granted or assume children are tech-savvy at a young age - we cannot forget to educate the impact and importance having a positive digital footprint has in their lives.
