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?).
Measurable Improvement
The included pre- and post-tests clearly demonstrate students’ comprehension and growth, as well as areas that could benefit from further discussions.

Who is the Digital Citizenship course for?
Because of the subject nature and difficulty level, this course is ideal for 9-15 year olds. But internet safety skills are vital for every age and the course can be used for older students as an introduction.
-
How long does Digital Citizenship Take?
With the pre-, post-test, and game combined, the entire course should take 1-2 hours to complete. Few students will “win” on their first attempt at the game, though, and they are encouraged to try multiple times. Each experience and ending is slightly different.
