What an exciting week of focused work around Digital Citizenship! We learn and practice these skills every day, but place extra emphasis during Dig Cit Week each year to build a strong FCPS culture around digital learning and leadership! Thanks for joining us.

ES students will learn to ask questions, read multiple sources, examine images & videos, and talk with experts. Healthy skepticism and critical thinking skills develop media-literate students! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSPOG

Being healthy in mind and body can take some effort, and feeling great is worth it! How is tech and media use impacting your life and how can you build positive habits that support well-being. How do you build healthy habits? #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Holmes Middle has it going on! They’re building shared responsibility for #FCPSdigcit , and having a great time too!!

All-or-nothing thinking, labeling, mind reading, negative filters, shoulds, personalizing, and fortune telling. These are the thinking traps we’ll be learning about today. Understanding them can help us thrive online. #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Our digital footprint (the places we go online) influences what we see and also who we connect with. Students will reflect on all the kinds of information left behind when online and how it forms their footprint. #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Social media can breed digital drama. MS and HS students will learn ways to make our online space a healthy and supportive place to learn, grow, and lead! Be an upstander to digital drama. #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Standing up for ourselves and others can be difficult. Today, our students will be learning ways to safely be an upstander. It’s cool to be kind! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

This #FCPSdigcit reflection question requires a keen eye and critical thinking! There is no one-size-fits-all to fix this challenge, so share your strategies with others! Sharing is caring. #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Learning to assess risk, how to protect private information, and stay in places that are age-appropriate help to keep our youngest students safe online. Supporting students every day to develop these skills pays off for a lifetime! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

This isn’t Olympic balance beam training we’re talking about, but it does take training to create good digital habits! Our ES Students will reflect today on this question, “How do you balance your time with technology?” #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSOn #FCPSpog
