Developing a school-wide digital citizenship curriculum

Outline a K-12 digital citizenship curriculum. Key Themes (by grade band): K-2 (Safety & Balance): online safety basics, screen time balance. 3-5 (Privacy & Communication): personal information, cyberbullying awareness, respectful online talk. 6-8 (Media Literacy & Digital Footprint): identifying fake news, understanding digital permanence, online reputation. 9-12 (Copyright & Activism): fair use, intellectual property, using social media for social good. Implementation: monthly lessons delivered by homeroom teachers, integrated into subject areas (e.g., citing sources in history), parent workshops, student-led campaigns. Use resources from Common Sense Media. Assess via scenarios and reflections.
