• DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP THEMES AND LESSONS

     

    All students need digital citizenship skills to participate fully in their communities and make smart choices online and in life.  In today's classrooms, embedding digital citizenship concepts is imperative for children's futures.  Students should understand that good digital citizenship involves using digital tools to do good things in the world.

     

    Where digital citizenship is taught effectively, teachers have two things in common: They model ethical technology use for their students on a daily basis, and they naturally incorporate conversations about it whenever technology is part of their lesson plan. In other words, they weave digital citizenship seamlessly throughout their curriculum. 

     

    Digital citizenship should be taught all year, every year.  As a best practice throughout the school year, teachers can feature monthly, grade-specific resources from Common Sense Media that focus on the following themes.  The curriculum has been revised and we are providing a cross-walk of the new curriculum, by clicking here.
