Digital Citizenship Week (great resources)

Next week (October 14-18) is Digital Citizenship Week.  While it's a bit of a funny week for us with testing and conferences, it's a reminder that we can all play a part in helping students become good digital citizens.  And of course, you can celebrate Digital Citizenship Week any time!

There are many excellent resources at Common Sense Education.  What's great about them is that they're well thought out, produced, and organized; all you have to do it follow the provided lesson plan.

If you've used Common Sense curriculum resources before, you should now that they've recently been updated.

Take a look at the lessons here:

And here are short videos (with accompanying questions for discussion) that you can play and discuss in a 15-minute window.

I'm happy to help you integrate these materials.  Please just let me know.
And also please let me know what you're doing in your classes around digital citizenship so we can share it out.

Thanks for reading.
