Internet Safety Resources

Parent Connections is a website of resources provided by the district for parents interested in online safety.

What is Digital Citizenship?
As defined by HB213, Digital Citizenship "means the norms of appropriate, responsible, and healthy behavior related to technology use, including digital literacy, ethics, etiquette, and security.” Many digital citizenship curricula often have a heavy focus on internet safety and security. These topics are important, and understandably will be the focus of many efforts to increase digital citizenship education in the short term.

However, just as good citizenship is more than not breaking the law, digital citizenship is more than just avoiding harms online. Technology can enhance and magnify the ability of youth and adults to contribute to and serve in the community and even in the world. But youth and adults need to work together to consider and create more ideas around how technology can be used for good — to facilitate collaboration, creation, communication, and positive contributions to family and civic life.

Check out the DigiCit Library for more resources.

Talking Points with Your Children
  • Have family guidelines for appropriate use of computers, cell phones, tablets, and other technology:
    • How much time per day?
    • What types of websites can we access?
    • Do the parents know the child's passwords on Instagram, Facebook, email accounts, so they can monitor?
    • What is the turn-off time on school days? On weekends? How is it monitored?
    • What apps are allowed on cell phones and tablets?
  • Protect online privacy
    • What is your digital footprint?
    • Keep private your full name, phone number, e-mail or other personal information on public websites
    • Keep personal information private with people you do not know
  • Prevent cyberbullying
  • Practice digital citizenship
    • Use "netiquette"
    • Cite sources of information when researching for class projects
    • Realize that personal and legal consequences exist for misusing technology:

      • Understand that prospective employers and universities are now checking Instagram, Facebook and other social media as part of their screening process
