School has always been a place where experienced adults interact with young students to guide them in their learning and choices as they grow into contributing citizens of the world.  With a wealth of resources at the fingertips of every student and educator, it’s more important than ever for all to learn how to be safe and productive using these resources. Our students need us all to help them learn to be good citizens in this very connected world.

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has been developing materials for decades to help students, educators and parents find their way to a better understanding of the use of technology to further learning and being a productive citizen.  A blog post, Infographic: Citizenship in the digital age by Diana Fingal dated December 14, 2017 is a helpful reference in helping us move our students from citizenship in its very traditional tenets to digital citizenship in today’s world.
