Digital Citizenship Week-

In this digital age with our digital students it is imperative that we model, explicitly teach, and constantly remind our students of digital citizenship. We expect the same great online manners, uses, and skills just as we do with offline citizenship. Our students today have two worlds whether we like it or not and we need to do what we can to keep those students (all ages - it gets more imperative as our students get older) safe.

This week, we celebrated Digital Citizenship Week, Oct. 19 – Oct. 23, 2020. Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers, the Internet, and digital devices. This is more important than ever for this generation of young learners. Starting in PreK3, digital citizenship is a main focus of our technology curriculum and is reinforced all year. Students are taught age appropriate lessons about basic internet safety, online research, privacy, digital communication, and applicable skills to help them navigate their digital world. We are thankful for full-time technology faculty members at every level (elementary, middle, and high school) who reinforce these critical skills. #WeAreSaintJamesSchool
