Discussion questions:

How might educators integrate the various aspects of digital citizenship (critical thinking, creation and credit, communication, health and protection etc.) to students at various grade levels? How is student well-being promoted by this learning? “It’s the task, not the tool, that engages student learning with technology” - John Howitt. How can you structure tasks to create authentic learning about digital citizenship?
