Abstract: The purpose of this study is to shine the light on the importance of educating students on digital literacy and netiquette, for technology has become a common denominator in most of our tasks.

The paper expresses the urgency of increasing the dose of digital literacy taught in schools to help raise students’ awareness to potential risks the internet has. It breaks down the risks that young users are prone to face as well as ways to safely avoid them. Further, the paper analyzes the state standards practiced in the US. to serve as a wake-up call for schools to work on improving their standards to protect young users from the versatile harms. Therefore, schools are conjured to take on the role of enhancing students’ digital literacy and their understanding of the potential risks present online.

Keywords: Digital literacy; e-learning; internet risks; online education and safety
