Digital Citizenship: Why Should We Teach It
Copyright Newport News Public Schools
Everyone at some point has seen questionable posts or maybe even reported obscene language or spam received on a platform. Adults can fall prey to receiving false information and giving personal information at the hands of manipulative tactics of anonymous individuals so it is only reasonable to believe children would have an even higher level of vulnerability lacking knowledge, experience, and insight of the dangers that exist in the online arena. Library Media Specialists have the huge responsibility of not only educating little tech users in how to be savvy with reputable online research but also be wary of the internet as a tool that can also hide hidden dangers and how to safely navigate through that world with confidence.
