A new approach to Digital Citizenship
We're currently revising the NetSafe CyberSafe Schools programme to create a more learner centered approach to Digital Citizenship
We are looking to recruit classroom teachers, school administrators, and students to our online panel of expert advisers. This online panel, the NetSafe Education Network, will be invited to comment on digital citizenship discussion documents from time to time.
We are looking for contributions on what New Zealand schools, the Ministry of Education and NetSafe could do to ensure young people have the skills and attributes to be good citizens in a digital age.
You can begin today to contribute ideas and discuss digital citizenship issues with other members. Register to become a member of the NetSafe Education Network.
