![]() Placing devices in the hands of students is a wonderful thing! Setting up clear expectations and providing digital citizenship lessons go hand in hand with those devices. Common Sense Education provides free resources for teachers to support Digital Citizenship in the classroom. The lessons are engaging and help students discuss important topics that will keep them safe in the digital world. Common Sense also provides resources for families, who are often asking questions about technology in the home. In Oceanside, we are working towards the Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certification, in both our individual school sites and the entire district. I am supporting the teachers at my site with teaching the lessons and documenting their work. I even created a list of the suggested lessons for each grade level, including a link to the PDF of the lesson and a Slide Deck that teachers can use in their lesson planning. Digital citizenship is important to address as we supply students with iPads and Chromebooks. The lessons from common sense teach students how to be responsible, respectful, and safe online. I highly recommend using the resources from Common Sense in your classroom this school year! Comments are closed.
