Online Safety and Social and Emotional Learning

Children and youth spend much of their lives on-line. An outcome of our digital age is that social interactions are often occurring through screens rather than face to face. This can pose challenges to developing student’s social and emotional learning capacities but also opens up opportunities for teaching these skills in new and innovative ways. One intersection of SEL and technology is “Digital Citizenship.”

Random House Dictionary defines a digital citizen as:
A person who develops the skills and knowledge to effectively use the Internet and other digital technology, especially in order to participate responsibly in social and civic activities.
