  • 1.  Student Digital Literacy Program

    Posted 09-26-2024 09:27 AM

    Hello Everyone,

    We are reviewing our digital literacy program at our school and we have been using the Common Sense Digital Citizenship Curriculum.  The feedback from our middle school faculty is that they feel they are a bit out of date and haven't been updated in some time.  I am curious about what everyone else is using to teach digital literacy.  Please feel free so send any resources you may have.  
    Thanks,

    #TeachingandLearning

    Hi Mark,

    At our school we use The Social Institute's #WinAtSocial platform and we really like it. It is an interactive platform between the teacher and student and covers a ton of current event topics related to digital citizenship and SEL. It also has excellent resources for parents and provides applicable school data regarding applications used by students and SEL data. No student logins are required as an access code is used for every lesson.

    Hope this helps!
    Brad

    I encourage you to reach out to your school librarians - they are experts in digital literacy and will be able to help you find or create a program that works for you!

    Hi,

    We started using Neptune Navigate this year and have liked their digital citizenship curriculum. They also have good resources for parents as well. We do tend to pull from many resources though as there hasn't been one that meets the needs of all grade levels/topics.
