Abstract

This self-paced course serves as a survey of key digital citizenship topics to help prepare incoming freshmen for navigating the digital world as they enter high school. Students will participate in activities designed to improve their understanding of such topics as online safety and privacy, recognizing media bias, understanding the impact of their digital footprint, and the impact of cyberbullying. Students will complete this course during the second half of 8th grade to prepare for their transition to high school in a one to one digital learning environment.
