"Common Sense Media is pleased to announce that the free CyberSmart! curriculum is now part of Common Sense Media's education programs. Over the next year, Common Sense will be updating the CyberSmart! lesson plans and adding video, interactive components, and a rich complement of parent resources to create an integrated K-12 Digital Literacy and Citizenship curriculum."
CyberSmart! Africa supports the development of 21st century skills that make learning less abstract, encourage collaboration and creativity, and foster communication across cultures.
Personal information is disclosed to, and used responsibly by, many legitimate online
businesses to conduct business and online social interactions. However, if not managed
carefully, it is possible for personal information to be accessed and misused for marketing,
identity theft or for cyberbullying or cyberstalking.
Be mindful that some websites encourage harmful or illegal behaviours such as eating
disorders and violent acts. Consider your teen's vulnerability to information and check
what they are viewing online.
Excellent resources and developments at this site. A free digital citizenship curriculum is being rolled out. And Common Sense have bought Cybersmart recently! Watch this space!
