Do you know what it means to be a digital citizen?

Digital Citizenship includes:

• ​knowing how to type and create documents, presentations, slideshows, etc. using technology
• using social media responsibly (know when to post and when not to post)
• learning how to code (learn how the internet works)
• knowing what sources or articles are true and which are false, or knowing how to figure it out
• using technology as a resource to help you in your classes and your personal life

You can watch the following videos for a review of digital citizenship concepts (thanks to Nearpod and Flocabulary <-- Miss Gilpin cites her sources!)

1. "What is the Internet?"
2. "Mindfulness & Meditation"
