Notice to teachers:
Here are some of the important criteria we all should considering when delivering digital citizenship curriculum to students as they learn to be responsible users and supporters of technology.
Respect, Educate and Protect (REPs)
The concept of REPs is a way to explain as well as teach the themes of digital citizenship. Each area encompasses 3 topics which should be taught beginning at the kindergarten level. When teaching these ideas the top theme from each group would be taught as one REP. For example the first REP would be: Etiquette, Communication and Rights/Responsibilities. This would continue through REPs 2 and 3. By doing this all students will have covered the topics and hopefully understand the basic ideas of digital citizenship.

- Etiquette
- Access

Educate Your Self/Connect with Others

Protect Your Self/Protect Others
