For kids, digital life is real life. It's where they build friendships, take a stand on issues, and do so much more. Encourage kids and their families to reflect on their media habits and build digital citizenship skills with this collection of articles, videos, printable handouts, conversation starters, ready-made workshops, and more. Covering a range of topics -- from online safety to learning with technology -- this toolkit has helpful bilingual resources that you can use in your classroom, on your school's website or social feed, or at your next family event.
To plan a school- or district-wide program for families, start with our Engaging Families in Digital Citizenship implementation guide.
