Hello,
Digital citizenship is important to include in your classroom curriculum because students need to know how to navigate our increasingly digital world safely and smartly. Just like the real world, students need to be aware of the legitimate consequences of not following the rules. Teachers should not assume that students are learning these guidelines and sensible actions when using digital tech at home. In the fast pace innovative climate we are living in, it is an added responsibility for teachers to prepare students in using multiple digital platforms appropriately and effectively. Here is my PowToon presentation covering the first 4 ISTE Digital Citizenship Elements:

For my class, I would continue this lesson by asking them to develop their own presentations on the remaining elements.
