LTISD is also focused on teaching every student K-12 about appropriate online behavior and safe computing.
Digital Citizenship is defined as "the norms of behavior with regard to technology use."
There are nine elements of digital citizenship: access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights & responsibilities, health & wellness, and self-protection. Digital Citizenship is not just an instructional strategy. It is a way of preparing our students for the current world of always-on, real-time access to content.
LTISD provides professional learning resources for teachers in the development of best practices for teachers as lead learners in what it means to practice good digital citizenship for the students of LTISD. In addition to internal resources, two other resources that are useful in the classroom, and at home are Learning.com (K-8) and Common Sense Media (K-12).
