Digital Passport for 5th Grade

I am launching Digital Citizenship and we will be using Digital Passports to learn about being responsible online.

Disclaimer

Students learn about being digital citizens and what that means for their futures. We learn these skills through blogging, Google Apps, website research, and many other lessons and applications.

Students are adding a widget to their blog explaining the intent of their content.

"This is a blog dedicated to learning. My work is not perfect, there are typos, spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, and at times difficult sentence formations. This is a learning environment for me. You are welcome to leave a comment that will encourage me in my learning and offer positive suggestions for improvements."
