7-12th Grade Digital Citizenship

Course Description

As we continue to transition our schools and classrooms to support 21st Century Learning, our students will be accessing digital resources more and more. Our first priority for our students is ensuring that they are safe and comfortable in the online world. Clovis Unified, in conjunction with curriculum developed by Common Sense Media, is providing professional development opportunities and lessons to support a safe online environment. The resources for this module include grade-level appropriate lessons that can be used in the classroom. In order to meet requirements established by our Clovis Unified Governing Board Policy and our e-Rate grant, each child must receive the contents in Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 at each grade level. Additional lessons are provided for the “Digital Citizenship” certification through Common Sense Media.
