5 Essential Facts of Digital Life
Note from Mrs.Lewis
 * **Kids are the creators.** It’s all about participating, communicating, making music, images, videos, and posting written content. And the content that’s there? Kids must be able to know if it’s credible or not.
 * Everything happens in front of a **vast, invisible, and often anonymous audience.**
 * Once something is out there, it doesn’t go away. **Everything leaves a digital footprint.**
 * **Information cannot be controlled.** Anything can be copied, changed, and shared instantly.
 * **Distance and anonymity separate actions and consequences.** Kids think they can get away with unethical or unacceptable behavior because they don’t see immediate consequences.
