Grade 3
Your Rings of Responsibility
How do digital citizens take responsibility for themselves, their communities, and their world?
Teaching digital citizenship is all about helping kids think beyond themselves and recognize the ripple effects of their actions. Personal responsibility is important, but understanding their responsibilities to others can help kids unlock new ways to learn and connect with their communities -- and even change those communities for the better.
