Digital Citizenship
GRADE 2
Much of the first trimester will be spent covering how to use digital media safely and appropriately. Common Sense media is the author of the curriculum. Age appropriate videos and topics for discussion are included in each module.
Focus will be on the following:
Media Balance & Well-Being
Privacy & Security
Digital Footprint & Identity
Relationships & Communication
Cyberbullying, Digital Drama & Hate Speech
News & Media Literacy
GRADE K-1
Even students at this level benefit from discussions on topics like being safe and "unplugging" the electronics at certain times. We talk about the Internet as a big community and websites as places we can visit.
Students use a QR code read by the chrome books camera to log onto the Internet. All websites accessed have been bookmarked by the teacher to ensure that typos don't accidentally land students in the wrong place.
Coding
Second trimester is devoted to coding. Students at these grade levels use code.org, abcya.com (lightbot) and tynker.com. Sequencing and simple repeats are examined in an age-appropriate environment. Kids love to explore Puppy Adventure and Candy Quest to begin developing their coding skills.
