TCC 4-6 Digital Citizenship

Start your 4-8th grade class off well in 2014-2015 with these lessons to make good digital citizens of them. The information was developed by Cable in the Classroom which are now called InCtrl. Even though these are designed for older students teachers will benefit from the information and videos. It will help you informally guide your younger students into good habits.

These are free standards-based lessons. Working Together Digitally, Living in a Digital World, Media: Between the Lines, Your Digital Footprint: Leaving Your Mark, Stand Up...Be InCtrl, What's Mine Isn't (Necessarily) Yours, In-Credibly Informed are the titles which cover topics like cyber-bullying, communicating & collaboration, media & information literacy and privacy.

Each lesson has a teacher video, a student video and a teaching materials document. It looks like an effective way to begin the year digitally.

There are also lessons on how to integrate digital citizenship in your content curriculum.

Another tool I found is a University of Kentucky site with a Digital Driver's Test and Licensing which makes more sense for the older students.


Enjoy!
