1. I would compare digital citizenship to the lifeskills and schoolwide agreements. You still need to be respectful and honest, even though you cannot see the people (on the web) you are communicating with.
2. Being aware of Stranger Danger is just as important when you're using the Internet. Students need to hear over and over again that they must check with an adult before signing up on a website, and not to share personal information on the Internet, unless ok'd by a trusted adult first.
3. Just because you find something written on the web, does not mean that it is accurate. I would model (many times throughout the year) how to verify information, and which reliable resources to use for doing this.
To get these messages (and others about digital citizenship) across to the students, I would utilize resources such as BrainPop, along with discussions in community circle.
