The article is for elementary school. It is somewhat basic, but it might be a conversation starter for a staff meeting. Also, it has links to other resources. (Make sure you go to page 2.) "These are the new citizenship skills for our students. While we shouldn't stop teaching children how to say "please" and "thank you," and bullies will still exist in the face-to-face world, it is vital that we treat online safety and digital citizenship with the same amount of seriousness and attention."
