Digital Citizenship Inside the Early Childhood Classroom

This week I have been researching about digital citizenship and specifically what it means for children in the early childhood classroom. Look at this Prezi that I created that provides an overview of what digital citizenship is and how it relates to Early Childhood.
Digital citizenship is something that I was never specifically taught about. I learned over time through trial and error. I believe that teachers have the unique opportunity to introduce the important concepts of digital citizenship to children at a young age. Every child has different experiences before they come to school. It is up to the teacher to expand on these experiences and grow the students' skills. There are many important skills that we need to safely and effectively use the technology that surrounds us. Some skills are taught as the children get older such as citing sources, but many skills can be taught during the early school years such as how to stay safe online. Here are the sources I used in this post and prezi.
