October 17 to 21 is Digital Citizenship Week. Digital Citizenship brings awareness to internet safety, media balance and social media. Developing safe online habits for students is a school and family issue. Covering topics like online safety, healthy media habits, and creating boundaries for device use are just a few of the many topics available. These are great conversation starters for parents as well as for people new to the internet. Resources for families and educators: Digital Citizenship 2022
