Digital Citizenship

26 July 2013

With students living in an age where they spend a majority of their time online, it is important that parents spend time talking with students as to the dangers of social media. Different social media apps and websites are appearing all the time and some give students the ability to be anonymous in their communications.

While social media connects people in more ways than ever before, it also opens up ways for adolescent people to be negative to one another and more often than not to be anonymous in doing so.  To help facilitate students be good digital citizens, parents are encouraged to have an open line of communication with their children and know what they are doing online. It is also helpful to have conversations with your children about how they relate with others online.
