Digital Citizenship Vocabulary
The course introduces new terms and expands on those your students have probably heard but don't fully understand (what are “terms and conditions,” anyway?).

The included pre- and post-tests clearly demonstrate students' comprehension and growth, as well as areas that could benefit from further discussions.
