PRIVACY AND SECURITY ARE TWO WORDS THAT CAN HAVE A MASSIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS’ ONLINE INTERACTIONS.

Digital citizenship has a lot of moving parts.  Teaching our students to be responsible digital citizens is the job of all the important adults in their lives, including their classroom teachers.

Here on the podcast we’ve been breaking down this larger idea of being a good digital citizen into small, more manageable chunks and in this episode we’re talking about a super important aspect of digital citizenship and that is - security and privacy.  

Oooof - that’s a biggie and one that may not always seem like something young students need to worry about, but they do.  In fact, we can start at a very young age helping kids to see how to protect and respect others online, including themselves.

As a 21st century classroom, security and privacy can play a huge role as students are learning to become more independent online and begin exploring online.  We want that to be a good thing — we want them to be able to use the amazing digital tools that are available to them, but above all, we want them to be safe about it and know how to protect themselves.
