Students at Deauville Gardens East Elementary School are learning about the importance of digital citizenship. Each month, the district focuses on new lessons and topics for teachers, students and the community and digital citizenship was the featured topic for September.

The fourth grade classes at Deauville Gardens East came together to learn about what digital citizenship means and spoke about cyber bullying, safety and security. Each student signed their own message about what it means to be a good digital citizen. Students wrote about how they could be the best digital citizen and shared their thoughts about being respectful, using kind words, asking parents for permission and being careful about sharing any information. When they finished with their individual answers, each class joined their information together to create a quilt that read “Be Your Best Digital Self.”
