Digital Citizenship Resources for the Classroom

Take a look at these phenomenal digital citizenship resources.

In this 3-Minute Classroom Problem Solver, SimpleK12's Teacher Learning Community presenter, Kim Munoz, will show you how to take advantage of the stellar digital citizenship resources at Common Sense Media. This website is a fantastic resource for any teacher working with students in the digital age (hey what do you know… that's you!).

The first thing you want to do is click on the “Education” tab over at Common Sense Media's website (watch the video above, Kim shows you exactly what to do). From there, it's simple to register as a teacher for lesson plans, activity guides, parent worksheets, and more.

In fact there's so much to explore, I couldn't possibly cover it all in one brief article. So I'll tell you about one of my favorite features of the site – these fantastic digital citizenship posters. These posters are easy to download so you can print them off yourself, or there's the option to order a professional print. Depending on which grade level you teach you can select images appropriate for younger or older students.

My personal favorite is the Should I Share poster for older students. The poster guides students through a series of questions, explaining why a certain answer means it's not appropriate to share on social media.

The best part is, this poster is just one teensy part of all of the fantastic digital citizenship resources available at Common Sense Media. Check it all out and let me know what your favorite resource is!
