Here is a quick tutorial on the program we will be piloting for digital literacy for students in grades 6-8. This is a self-paced tutorial on digital citizenship. It is called Ignition and is free from Everfi. Each school has an access code. The teacher enters the access code and follows the steps to set up a class.
