"This lesson will encourage students to examine the trade-offs involved in our use of energy, a topic they will likely revisit throughout their lives. This lesson is built around an interactive called Power Up! in which students choose how to power a city. They will have to choose between various energy sources, taking into account the trade-offs between cost and the environmental impact of each choice. Discussions before and after the game will examine the various options and what students may want to take into account when making their decisions."

"Today's kids connect, create, and collaborate through media. But who helps them reflect on the implications of their actions? Who empowers them to make responsible, respectful, and safe choices about how they use the powerful digital tools at their command? Our Common Sense Parent Media Education Program and our Digital Citizenship Curriculum give educators, administrators, and parents the tools and curricula they need to guide a generation in becoming responsible digital citizens."

Free materials on Internet safety, cyberbulling, digital citizenship, parent materials also included.
