Tool #11

I think that in our classroom, it would be beneficial for us to teach the parents about being a good digital citizen. Since I work with PreK, it might be hard for the kids to understand why keeping information private is important, when they don't even know how to spell their name yet. By teaching the parents about being a good digital citizen, they would be able to keep track about what their kids do when they are online.

Three things I would teach the parents about being a good digital citizen would be:

• Digital Etiquette
• Information Privacy
• Online Safety

Online Safety could be taught to the kids just as you teach them about not talking to strangers. Making sure their parents understand the importance of those three subjects would be very beneficial tough.
