Being a digital citizen is all about taking ownership of our actions and using technology responsibly and respectfully. During Digital Citizenship Week, and all year long, Common Sense is here to help with free activities and lessons to teach kids how to learn, create, and participate responsibly in the digital world.

- Good digital citizenship engages young students and shows them how to connect with one another, empathize with each other, and create lasting relationships through digital tools.
- Bad digital citizenship, on the other hand, entails cyber-bullying, irresponsible social media usage, and a general lack of knowledge about how to safely use the Internet.
