Digital Citizenship Overview
Fulton County Schools realizes the importance of being a good steward of technology. We are making it a priority for all students to receive digital citizenship and literacy lessons annually as part of our personalized learning initiative.
Our school district has partnered with Common Sense Education to provide resources for our students, staff, and families within Fulton County as the first step in a multi-layered approach. At the beginning of each year, we will deepen students’ learning on digital citizenship by using Common Sense instructional activities to teach our students about Internet safety, digital footprints, cyberbullying, copyright, and other relevant topics. We require all schools to become Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified Schools annually as a demonstration of our commitment to digital citizenship education. |

INTERNET SAFETY AND DEVICE CARE VIDEOS
Fulton County Schools has produced the following videos to give students an overview of responsible internet use and how to care for their school-issued learning device. These were produced in partnership with Dell Technologies and Advanced Learning Partnerships Inc. and are a complement to Common Sense Media’s Digital Citizenship curriculum shared by our school METIs. The videos can be accessed on the FCS-TV YouTube page through these links:

The next 3 digital citizenship lessons will utilize Nearpod presentations that the district created for our students. Below are the links for you to add to your library in Nearpod and then launch for your students to complete during B2. They are setup so they can be student directed lessons but there are videos so it might work better to do it as a group. It’s up to you to do what works for your class! You all should be able to login to Nearpod with your FCS credentials if you select school login. These are new lessons so they should be different than what you added last year.
