For the upcoming 2015-2016 school year, we are focusing on the meeting the Internet Safety Education Requirements outlined in the Children's Internet Protect Act (CIPA) and will be using the curriculum provided by Common Sense Media. They offer a wealth of standards-aligned, research-based lessons available beyond these requirements. All lessons can be low-tech with pen and paper or there is an option for a more teched-up version. Lesson materials are also available in Spanish for our bilingual classrooms.
These are the required lessons for each grade level:
- Grade TK/K: Going Places Safely
- Grade 1: Sending Email
- Grade 2: Show Respect Online
- Grade 3: Talking Safely Online
- Grade 4: The Power of Words
- Grade 5: Digital Citizenship Pledge
- Grade 6: Safe Online Talk, Scams and Schemes
- Grade 7: Cyberbullying: Crossing the Line, Trillion Dollar Footprint
- Grade 8: Which Me Should I Be? Cyberbullying: Be Upstanding
- Grade 9: Private Today, Public Tomorrow
- Grade 10: Risky Online Relationships
- Grade 11: College Bound
- Grade 12: Taking Perspectives on Cyberbullying
Once you complete the required lesson we ask that you complete the following verification form and send to Melissa Oliver via district mail or scanned email.
You are highly encouraged to check out the lessons beyond those listed above. Within the Common Sense Media Scope & Sequence, you'll find great lessons on teaching students effective searching skills, copyright, and much more that will complement your ongoing classroom instruction. These are great lessons anytime during the year and especially at start of a new school year as you prepare to take students into the computer labs, use mobile devices, and collaborate with on another using Google Apps. You may even want to consider becoming a Common Sense Media Digital Citizenship Certified Educator. If you have questions or would like additional support, please reach out for support!
