These are wonderful resources for teaching digital citizenship! I teach fourth grade and try to keep this discussion open throughout the year. As students who are growing up in the digital era, it is important that they understand exactly what happens when something is posted to the Internet. One’s “digital footprint” can have such a huge impact on his/her life.
A year-long discussion, in increments, is the perfect approach, Kelsey. Kids need repetition and that does it.
