Friday, September 8th, 2017 -- 8:00 AM
-The Wisconsin Department of Justice and Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is making "digital citizenship" a focus this school year and, as such, DOJ and DPI have collaborated on an internet safety resource website.This site provides a compilation of resources, tools, and information to empower all stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, and administrators) to make safe, smart and ethical decisions about technology use. Over the last few years, there has been a shift from 'acceptable' to 'responsible' use of digital resources. This shift is a change in expectation for use of technology in and out of the classroom. Keeping kids safe online is a fundamental goal of school districts, the Wisconsin Digital Learning Plan, and the Wisconsin Information and Technology Literacy Standards.
Technology is a way of life for today's students and we all need to be sure we support their safe and responsible use of digital resources. Topics on the site include copyrights and plagiarism, cyberbullying, digital citizenship, digital footprint, digital relationships, identity theft, information and technology literacy, privacy and security, safe gaming and social media.
