Digital media and technology are evolving at a dizzying pace, both unlocking extraordinary opportunities and posing real risks for young people. Students are using the immense power of the Internet and mobile technology to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before imagined, both in and out of the classroom.  Issues that emerge from this 24/7 “connected culture,” such as cyberbullying, privacy lapses, and uncertainty about which information to trust online, are surfacing both in schools and at home.  Canyons School District sees these as teachable moments. We believe that digital citizenship skills are essential for students. That’s why our schools are dedicated to helping students think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate. 

Canyons is certified as a Common Sense District. The recognition acknowledges our district’s commitment to teaching digital citizenship to young people and engaging the entire community in this important discussion.
