TWE - Common Sense Digital Certified School






We are proud to announce that Tom Wilson Elementary has just been approved as the 500th Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified School worldwide, an honor that recognizes our efforts in teaching digital literacy and citizenship to young people and engaging the entire school community in this important discussion.

 

At TWE, students are using technology to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before imagined, both in and out of the classroom. Daily issues emerge from this 24/7 "connected culture," such as cyberbullying, privacy lapses, and uncertainty about which information to trust online are surfacing both in schools and at home. TWE sees these issues as teachable moments. We believe that digital citizenship skills have become essential for students in the 21st century, especially in schools like ours who use technology to transform learning. That's why we are committed to teaching our students how to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly. Our school dedicated 61 hours and 18 different lessons to transforming our students into digital citizens. We look forward to keeping our parents and students informed as digital citizens.
