Because parents and guardians may not have access to
technology, you should also provide different ways for
them to communicate with the school and teachers and
access notifications and records. Providing mobile-
friendly options, for example, are helpful in cases where
parents don’t have access to computers.

Digital commerce

Most of us shop and do our banking online these days.
Some kids have their own Amazon accounts, or they
make purchases through online gaming. Our learners
need to understand how e-commerce works so they can
safely make purchases and protect their money (or their
parents’). This includes being able to spot online scams,
protecting against identity theft and being careful about
spending.

This digital citizenship element also relates to careers in
e-commerce. There could be budding entrepreneurs in
your school who open up their own online shop
someday. Or they may embark on a career in digital
marketing or web development. Math and language arts
educators can embed instruction about digital commerce.
