Teaching good digital citizenship

By

 


According to the American College of Education, teachers play a vital role in teaching digital citizenship to students. However, this can't be done without the partnership of parents and others in the lives of our kids.

We have students from Europe, and military members stationed worldwide, as well. I love this about our program and it speaks to its reputation. The more I write this blog and will continue to grow it by linking it to my LinkedIn account, the more I will stay connected to my classmates in this program.
