Digital Citizenship and CyberSafety

Digital Citizenship and CyberSafety

Students are living in a powerful digital world that requires them to interact in non-traditional ways. These new interactions require new social expectations, safety precautions, and literacy.  There is a need to promote ethical, responsible, and safe interaction in a digital world.

Brazosport ISD currently utilizes Common Sense Media for our K-12 Internet Safety Curriculum.

Common Sense Media believes that media is an integral part of our children’s world.  This site provides parents and educators trustworthy information to guide student’s interaction with media. This site includes reviews of movies, games, websites, TV, books, and music. Information on other topics including internet safety, digital citizenship, social networking and virtual worlds are available.
