This document discusses the importance of digital citizenship, which is the safe, legal, and responsible use of technology and information. It explains that a digital footprint is created from bits of information on computers and servers around the world that allow people to learn about an individual. The document provides several website resources for exploring digital citizenship topics and recommends following bloggers on Common Sense Media. It notes that children are growing up in a digital world without supervision and hopes that providing early digital experiences in a controlled environment will help them become good digital citizens independently.

14. Our kids are growing up on a digital playground!
and no one is on recess duty. @KevinHoneycutt
My hope is that by being part of the digital world in a controlled !
environment while they are young, they will have knowledge and !
skills to be good digital citizens when they are on their own.
How do you plan to give your class experiences being digital citizens this year?
