The Elk Grove Unified School District aligns digital citizenship curriculum and programs to meet state and federal legal mandates. The mandates require educating students about “appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response.” As students navigate their digital worlds, the district wants to ensure that they understand the need to think before they post – to treat others with respect, to think critically about what they read and see, to build and maintain a positive digital footprint, to protect their online privacy and the privacy of others, and to respect intellectual property boundaries.
