Common Sense, the national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping kids and families thrive in a world of digital media and
technology, has recognized Edgewood Primary as a Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified School.
Edgewood Primary has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing its students to use the
immense power of digital media to explore, create, connect, and learn, while limiting the perils that exist in the online realm, such as
plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying.
"We applaud the faculty and staff of Edgewood Primary for embracing digital citizenship as an important part of their students'
education," said Rebecca Randall, Vice President of Education Programs for Common Sense Education. "Edgewood Primary deserves high
praise for giving its students the foundational skills they need to compete and succeed in the 21st-century workplace and participate
ethically in society at large."
Edgewood Primary has been using Common Sense Education's innovative and research-based digital citizenship resources, which were
created in collaboration with Dr. Howard Gardner of the GoodPlay Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The resources
teach students, educators, and parents tangible skills related to Internet safety, protecting online reputations and personal privacy,
managing online relationships, and respecting creative copyright. The free resources are currently used in more than 90,000 classrooms
nationwide.
"We're honored to be recognized as a Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified School," said Mrs. Vanessa Jackson, Principal. "By
preparing our students to use technology safely and responsibly, we are providing them unlimited opportunities to maximize and
personalize their learning."
