K-12 Digital Citizenship Curriculum Scope and Sequence.  Common Sense Media has put together a free comprehensive Curriculum designed to empower students to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in our digital world.

Interland and other Digital Safety Resources - Interland is an adventure-packed online game that makes learning about digital safety and citizenship interactive and fun—just like the Internet itself. Here, kids will help their fellow Internauts combat badly behaved hackers, phishers, oversharers, and bullies by practicing the skills they need to be good digital citizens.

Teach Be Internet Awesome with Custom Google Slide Presentations - Google has partnered with the educators at Pear Deck to create custom, interactive presentations to accompany the Be Internet Awesome curriculum. Students engage and respond to questions from their individual classroom device, while teachers can:

  • Control the pace of the lesson
  • View student answers from their Pear Deck Teacher Dashboard
  • Share completed lessons with students and parents through Google Drive
