We are working on Digital Citizenship for the subject of Technology and how to use the Internet responsibly. Our children’s safety should be a priority and with all of the recent news of Cyberbullying and all of the information our children have access to, we as parents have to monitor their activities even more whether it is online, mobile, texting, etc.
