Critic reviews

"As the Internet is increasingly a part of all of our lives, it is important for children to gain awareness of their role in a larger digital society. This series promotes effective and responsible use of technology by discussing topics such as internet safety, smart Internet searches, reliable sources, cyberbullying, and many others. It also stresses the permanent nature of the Internet, and its ability to impact future employment opportunities, an important concept for children to learn early. The information is detailed and organized, with visual aides (photos, diagrams) to accompany the text. VERDICT: This series would be a useful addition to any public or school library collection to assist with lessons on technology and how to be a good digital citizen." (School Library Journal, Series Made Simple)

"The What Is Digital Citizenship? series is aimed at readers who have grown up using the Internet but may not fully understand what they intuitively do online. These books help kids learn the fundamentals of surfing the Internet and participating online while helping them form good habits for keeping safe while they surf. The clean, handsome format features four short chapters with brief sentences on white pages and 'Did You Know?' sidebars. The illustrations include plentiful screen shots along with photographs of kids from many races and ethnic groups. In Smart Online Communication, readers learn tips on how to avoid sharing posts, photographs, and private information online that might lead to problems years in the future. This solid series will be useful for teachers who want to help their students become savvier digital natives." (Booklist Online)
