Digital Citizenship at Glendale School

"Digital citizenship is an action, something that we need to practice and do every single day. In today's interconnected world, this is our opportunity to put global education into practice to empower others to become change makers, and use technology for good--in local, global and digital communities." - Digital Citizenship Institute, 2022

With teacher permission and supervision, at the Calgary Board of Education students can:

• Use technology
• Have access to the network/Internet
• Print student work
•  Use a CBE e-mail account

The following CBE Digital Citizenship Competencies, along with our yearly Digital Citizenship Plan, guide our ongoing work to develop Glendale students' digital literacy:

• Our students are Respectful: “I am respectful and inclusive in my words and actions while online”
• Our students are Informed: “I understand the consequences of spreading misinformation / disrespectful information”
• Our students are Safe: “I know how to be safe online and create safe spaces for others in online communities”
• Our students are Responsible: “I understand how to make responsible decisions in the digital world, and that anything I access, produce and post is part of my digital presence”

Each year, we ask students to commit to the following responsibilities:
