Authors: 5th grade classes of Carleton College and The Evergreen State College
It is Digital Citizenship Week around the country and the 5th graders wanted to celebrate by writing their first ever blog post! Technology class is new this year for 5th grade and you may be surprised about some of the things we are learning and doing in the classroom. Over the past few weeks we have been studying all about on-line communities, internet safety, and what it means to be a digital citizen through Common Sense Media lessons. Check out what the 5th graders have to say about what they've been learning!

What are the similarities and differences between an online community and an offline community?
Authors: Sergio, Amarion, Cornelius, Shamarrea, Gabriel
ln an offline community, you see the other members face to face. Online communities can be made up of complete strangers. Both online and off line communities are made up of groups of people who are interested in the same things, like sports, video games, or taking photos.

What is a Digital Citizen?
Authors: Xavier M., Oziel, Jonathan, Francisco
A digital citizen is a person who is a member of the online community. They participate in activities online the same way a person in a school or park district community would participate in activities. A digital citizen should follow the rings of responsibility and take the Digital Citizen pledge to help make the internet safe and fun for everybody.
