Building School-Wide Digital Citizenship Curriculum for K-12 Students
Quick fact
A survey by Common Sense Media found that 89% of teens say they have access to a smartphone, but fewer than half of U.S. schools offer any formal digital citizenship instruction. This gap leaves students to learn online behavior largely through trial and error.
Why this is interesting
Every week, students spend hours online—yet most schools spend far less time teaching them how to be good digital citizens than they do teaching them to ride a bike or cross the street safely. What if the internet had a traffic code?
