I think it is great that there is a free curriculum online that you can use to teach digital citizenship. Three main ideas I can stress to my students are how to deal with cyberbullying by becoming an Upstander, how to effectively find the information they are looking for with keyword searches, and teaching them how to use other people's work without plagiarizing it. I can include the cyberbullying talk into our class meetings that we have at the end of the day on Fridays. The lessons on keyword searches and plagiarism could be integrated into lesson on how to do research.
Sara, I love that you found helpful materials for your class AND that you know where you can use them. These online safety ideas just expand the ways we teach kids to be safe, respectful, and responsible.
