Digital Citizenship (4th-8th)
Empower your students to become responsible digital leaders with our comprehensive digital citizenship program.
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to address the evolving challenges of the digital world while nurturing a positive digital community.
Empower your fourth through eighth-grade children with a comprehensive understanding of digital citizenship. Engaging in one-on-one lessons between parents and their child through a turn-key program not only fosters a strong parent-child bond but also equips the young learner with essential skills for responsible online behavior.
This proactive education strategy is particularly advantageous for homeschooled children, offering them the tools they need to navigate the virtual landscape with confidence, integrity, and resilience. In nurturing digital citizenship from an early age, parents empower their seventh-graders to make informed decisions, cultivate healthy online relationships, and contribute positively to the digital world they are an integral part of.

Digital Footprint and Reputation Management
1. Your Digital Footprint
Your student(s) will discover what a Digital Footprint is and why it’s important. Children live and make choices in the “now.” They are not considering the long-term effects of choices made on the Internet.
2. Consequences of Your Digital Footprint
Your student(s) will meet Charlotte, a typical teenager who likes to share what she is doing on social media. Charlotte’s online activity will help students understand the positive and negative impact of digital footprints and their online reputation.
Cyberbullying Prevention
3. What’s Cyberbullying
Your student(s) will learn what constitutes bullying and how cyberbullying is different from physical bullying.

Online Security

Your student(s) will discover how social media networking sites, like Instagram, privacy settings work, and some of the safety issues that come with a private or public account.
