This website is a comprehensive set of resources for students K-12, parents and teachers. The topics include online security, digital relationships and cyberbullying, digital footprint, digital citizenship, student data, copyright and maintaining a healthy balance of digital exposure.

This includes a good list of resources that are available.

This provides a fantastic list of resources for parents (or teachers) to utilize to support the teaching of digital citizenship skills! I'm always looking for tools to share with our families to help them better understand their role in creating good digital citizens at home.

Many already working in the library world are familiar with Common Sense Education, but if you are like me and only work at the high school level, you may not have had a chance to fully use this website's valuable resources.

Besides what we will be using, Common Sense Education also offers free professional development resources, advice on 1-to-1 programs, teacher reviews of instructional technology, and more. This resource is a must for any educator.

I played the game a bit and I wonder if maybe teachers should take it, as we had a phishing spam a few years ago where teachers gave personal information online to an email that looked like it came from our local credit union.

This resource offers K-12 lessons on digital citizenship. This resource could be utilized by library staff, as well as classroom teachers.
