CyberSmart! Curriculum

While our students with their knowledge of technology may be able to run circles around us on computers, smartphones, ipads, etc., they still need instruction and guidance about how to use technology in a smart and safe manner.  Whether it is you, the school counselor, that teaches these important life-lessons or a computer teachers, you will undoubtedly deal with issues surrounding technology - namely cyberbullying.

I love the detailed lesson plans Common Sense Media has produced for their CyberSmart! Curriculum.  They range from kindergarten to 12th grade and cover 5 SMART target areas:

• Safety and security online
• Manners, cyberbullying and ethics
• Authentic Learning and Creativity
• Research and information fluency
• Twenty-first century challenges
