HISD students have been busy this spring making short videos to teach their fellow students about digital safety.

The district’s Educational Technology department received 39 multimedia submissions from 61 HISD students (four high schools, two middle schools, and five elementary schools) regarding online safety, digital citizenship, and privacy security.

Of those, six were chosen by The Future of Privacy Forum to be featured on their website, and the creators each won a $100 Visa gift card.
