A new class for our middle school this year is Digital Literacy. The purpose of this course is helping the middle schoolers better understand the capabilities of the technology they have and how to use it responsibly. We only have digital literacy once per week so each class is just getting started on the topics we will be discussing this year.
We started each class discussing digital citizenship and how to be safe and respectful online. Just like how all of us had to be taught to say "please" and "thank you" and to look both ways when we cross the street, there are a set of rules in the digital online world to treat people respectfully and stay safe from harm.
Our next topic is discussing email etiquette and how to treat people respectfully through this form of communication that has become such an important part of everyday life.
