Digizen: Digital Citizenship and Safety

As more and more students start to explore online communities, teachers and parents need to make sure they are being safe and responsible. Every item that is posted online has a true sense of "permanency" to it. So, we need to help students make good choices about the "footprint" that they build on the web. Richard Byrne recently introduced me to Digizen, an online site that is dedicated to creating honest, collaborative online citizens. It includes information on cyberbullying and social networking. The information is easy to read and visually appealing. It would be a fantastic site to use with both students and parents. I also enjoyed the RSS feeds at the bottom of the homepage. These articles are current, relevant, and easy for parents and students to access. Interested? Go check it out!
