Digital Citizenship Week 2024

Empowering Our Students for a Safe Online Future

From October 14-18th, Oakwood School will join schools nation wide in celebrating Digital Citizenship Week. In an age where digital interaction is part of everyday life, it's crucial that our students learn how to navigate online spaces safely and responsibly. Using resources from Common Sense Education and The Social Institutestudents will engage in activities and games designed to foster dialogue about safety and responsibility while honing their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 

Elementary School Digital Citizenship Week Activities

Team 1 and 2 students will watch educational videos like Pause & Think Online while playing games through NetSmartzKids. Team 3 and 4 students will be introduced to Digital Passport, an award-winning suite of games from Common Sense, which helps students build essential skills for digital safety and community respect. Upstairs, students in Teams 5 and 6 will use Google's Interland. The digital citizenship game is a part of "Be Internet Awesome" and encourages students to become safe, confident explorers online. 

Middle School Digital Citizenship Week Activities

Students in Teams 7 through 11 will engage in choose-your-own-adventure style activities. The animated experiences offer education and opportunities to become good digital participants. In addition, they will be working through lessons from #WinAtSocial, a program that teaches students how to navigate the internet and social media safely and responsibly.

Through these engaging activities, Oakwood aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive both online and offline.

Get Involved!

We encourage parents and caregivers to join the conversation about digital citizenship at home. Take some time to discuss what your child learns during Digital Citizenship Week and explore ways to promote safe and responsible online behavior together. Consider setting aside time for family discussions about technology use and boundaries or participate in digital activities as a family. 

Students participate in weekly Technology and Counseling classes that offer opportunities for students to build boundaries, develop strategies, and encourage kindness in our physical and digital communities.
