Digital citizenship for today's kids
Teaching digital citizenship to kids and teens, and helping them use the power of tech, devices & social media in a positive way.
how it works
Every day, DFI’s digital citizenship curriculum is taught in hundreds of classrooms across the country. Maybe it’s because we’re a group of parents, educators, and law enforcement officials who have all been brought together by a common goal: to help kids thrive in today’s high-tech world.
