Practicing Digital Citizenship and Protecting Student Privacy

The Apple Education Community is an online professional learning hub for educators using Apple technology for teaching and learning. The site provides hundreds of resources from Apple, and encourages educators to collaborate and inspire one another by sharing their own content. Community members can engage in thoughtful discussions, ask questions, and share resources and best practices.

As you share authentic stories and real examples of student work, it’s important to consider what’s appropriate (and what’s not). To help you with this, Apple has partnered with Common Sense Education — a trusted resource for millions of parents and educators as they guide their children and students through the digital world. Protect your students’ privacy online — and your own — with tips and training from Common Sense Education.
