It’s undeniable – students are online today more than ever before.
In fact, teens spend over a third of their days watching a screen for online entertainment, and tweens (ages 8-12) dedicate nearly a fifth of their days to screen time (source).
Helping students become responsible digital citizens has become part of our job as educators, and October’s Digital Citizenship Week is the perfect time to give students some valuable support in addition to all year round.
The Digital Citizenship lessons by Edpuzzle Originals unpack important topics, explain in a relatable way why they matter, and, most importantly, provide actionable steps students can take to improve their digital lives.
With special emphasis on critical thinking and social-emotional understanding, these concentrated lessons equip students with the skills they need to responsibly engage with people, content, and ever-changing technologies while online.
The lessons are designed to be versatile, providing helpful reminders and refreshers for all ages. They’re also aligned with the ISTE Digital Citizen standards.
