Digital Citizenship

In Kindergarten, we teach the children to respect themselves and others by listening and using nice words.  We practice role playing different social and learning situations as a class.  We identify and show how to be disrespectful (aka a bad friend) to help them identify the negative choices.  With the Internet, I am currently deciding what websites are allowed in the classroom.  As a class, we decide what websites are good (fun to play) and which ones we don't want to play again.  When we being our Writer's Workshop unit on Book Reviews, the children and I will be visiting different sites and deciding what makes a book review true or false.  This unit is also where I will teach about 21st century citizenship.
