Use Common Sense Digital Citizenship resources to lead digital citizenship instruction:
K-12 Digital Citizenship Curriculum: There are eight main curriculum categories that are covered. The K-12 curriculum includes 65 lessons—5 lessons (one unit) per grade level, per year. The units build on each other by reinforcing developmentally appropriate topics. You can use the units either sequentially by grade level or at any grade level within this band. (one lesson takes about 45 minutes to complete)
Digital Passport: Common Sense Education’s award-winning suite of engaging games that address key issues facing kids in today's digital world. Teach critical skills related to digital safety, respect, and community. Teachers receive robust reporting of individuals and groups’ gameplay. Each of the five games include videos, three levels of gameplay, collaborative offline activities, teacher wraparound materials, and aligned Digital Citizenship lessons. (one module w/ wrap around activity takes about 45 minutes to complete)
Digital Compass: Learn the fundamentals of digital citizenship through animated, choose-your-own-adventure interactive experiences. Invite students to explore digital dilemmas, make good (and not-so-good) decisions, and try out possible solutions through stories and mini-games – all without risking their real-world reputations. (one storyline, when students play through all decision options, takes about 45 minutes to compelte)
Digital Bytes: using the Digital Bytes website, teens choose a topic, or Byte, that resonates with their interests. They learn from real-world experiences of other who’ve encountered digital dilemmas that raise questions. (one byte takes an average of a little over 2 hours)
