Common Sense Education: Digital Citizenship

16 episodes

One short video per grade band from Common Sense Education, the nonprofit behind the digital-citizenship curriculum many districts already use. Each runs about one to three minutes and leaves students holding one concrete tool: a stop-slow-go internet traffic light in first grade, digital footprints as tracks in snow in second, the me-community-world rings of responsibility in third, the S-T-O-P strategy for hurtful language, and a way to check a headline, author, date, and source in fifth. Sorted by grade they form a spine for a media-balance, privacy, or cyberbullying unit, and the youngest ones are sing-alongs.
