What is Digital Citizenship?

Welcome to the Digital Citizenship Classroom Happenings Page! Get ready to dive into exciting technology concepts this year.

Each grade level will have different project based learning projects that they will focus on throughout the year using the Ellipsis Education Curriculum. By the time students graduate from 8th grade, they will be confident with Microsoft Suite, understand how to work online safely and responsibly, will have experience coding in Java-Script and Python, will have dabbled in graphic design, and will have produced or will have been a part of our IHM News program.

During Digital Citizenship, Grades K-6 students learn about online safety, touch typing, coding, 3-D printing, robotics, virtual reality, and Microsoft Suite Applications.
