October 17, 2016
Daniel Island School is now a Common Sense Certified School: Digital Citizenship. Common Sense, the national not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping students and families safely navigate digital media and technology, announced Daniel Island School’s designation last week.
“We’re honored to be recognized as a Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified School,” said Kori Brown, Daniel Island School principal. “By preparing our students to use technology safely and responsibly, we are providing them unlimited opportunities to maximize and personalize their learning.”
Daniel Island School has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing students to use the power of digital media to explore, create, connect, and learn, while limiting the risks that exist online, like plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying.
“We applaud the faculty and staff of Daniel Island School for embracing digital citizenship as an important part of its students’ education,” said Jessica Lindl, Head of Common Sense Education. “Daniel Island School deserves high praise for giving its students the foundational skills they need to compete and succeed in the 21st century workplace and participate ethically in society at large.”
Daniel Island School has been using Common Sense Education’s research-based digital citizenship resources, which teach students, teachers and parents skills related to internet safety, protecting online reputations and personal privacy, managing online relationships, and respecting creative copyright.
