Digital Citizenship Curriculum

Priority lessons

This page provides some basic lessons on Digital Citizenship for our 7th to 9th grade teachers. These are not required lessons. The goal is to offer our teachers some ideas of lessons and places to start. Each grade has one lesson that the DJUSD teacher librarians and Instructional Technology department consider most essential. We encourage school sites to discuss the site-appropriate personnel to teach each lessons. This may be the teacher, the teacher librarian, the site counselor or some other appropriate person.

Any student who has access to district provided email must be taught how to use email safely and ethically. The bottom of this page has a section of email related lessons and resources. We encourage the sites and classrooms teachers to decide which lessons best meet the needs of their students.

Many of these lessons are from the curriculum at Common Sense Media. When you click a link, it will navigate you to the appropraite Common Sense Media webpage. The full lessons may be downloaded from those pages. 

The lessons are aligned with Common Core ELA, AASL, and ISTE standards
