Digital Citizenship Week-Kick Off Challenge

iLEAD Online Charter School

Digital Citizenship Week 

Our school is an online community where our learners are digital citizens. Being a good digital citizen is about understanding the best way to connect and collaborate with others.

When we go online, we’re participating in a world where we can be instantly connected to thousands of people at a moment’s notice. When learners connect with each other from a distance, it can affect the way they behave. For example, their actions can feel removed from consequences or free from discovery. When people are anonymous, it’s easier to behave irresponsibly, cruelly, or unethically.

At iLEAD Online our goal is to create a safer school environment and discourage prejudice and discrimination. We are participating in the annual Digital Citizenship Week as a way to help our families generate conversations about what it means to be a good digital citizenship, stay safe in the online world, and utilize the wonderful tools 21st-century technology has to offer to the best of their abilities.

We’ll be delivering 4 main topics for discussion and learning this year:

  1. Online Privacy
  2. Media/Online Literacy
  3. Anti-Bullying
  4. Positive Online Communities/Digital Leadership

Each topic will include activities for mastery. On Friday, learners will have the opportunity to create a mini project of their choice answering the essential question, “how do I demonstrate through my actions that I’m a good digital citizen”.  Mini projects can be submitted. 1 submission from each grade level will be chosen to be highlighted on our website. Chosen submissions will receive an art supply kit or mini science kit. All learners taking an iLEAD Online class are eligible to submit. 

Enjoy the week!
