Digital media and technology are evolving at a dizzying
pace, both unlocking extraordinary opportunities and posing real risks for
young people. Students are using the immense power of the Internet and mobile
technology to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before
imagined, both in and out of the classroom.
But issues that 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.
Rosenblatt High School sees these as teachable moments.
We believe that digital citizenship skills have become essential for students
in the 21st century, especially in schools like ours that are using technology
to transform learning. That's why we are committed to teaching our students how
to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly.
Rosenblatt High School has just been approved as a Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified
School, 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. This recognition is provided by Common Sense
Education, part of a national nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the
lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education,
and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.
We are one of the more than 100,000 schools across the country
that uses Common Sense Education's groundbreaking education resources. As a
result, our students are better equipped to navigate the digital world and use
devices for learning.
