Ideas for How to Celebrate Digital Citizenship from Common Sense Media

"Digital Citizenship Week, is a celebratory week during which we can really focus on these critical life skills. And you can keep up the momentum from #DigCitWeek! There are definitely ways that all educators can integrate various elements of digital citizenship by embedding it into what you're already doing.

Below are some ways you can discuss digital citizenship within the confines of core content. Check out our article 5 Easy Ways to Integrate Digital Citizenship for even more information!

Try our Quick Activities: Take a look at these video-based, 15-minute lessons to see where and when you can carve out a little time to have these critical discussions.
Use the research process: Including media literacy, AI literacy, fact-checking, and search skills is essential to building kids' research skills and is useful in many subject areas.
Build in-person communication skills and SEL: It might seem counterintuitive, but cultivating social and emotional skills, empathy, mindfulness, and the ability to have civil discussions can also enhance media balance and online habits, especially if you connect those dots for kids.
Model media balance and focus: We're all dealing with digital distractions, including educators. So showing kids how to set personal boundaries and manage distractions is powerful.
Use media and trends to start discussions: Movies, books, podcasts, music, memes, and more can all be bridges from daily learning objectives to digital citizenship concepts. Our monthly Tools & Trends newsletters also offer timely discussion points you can use. Plus, your students will likely be more engaged!
Make core subject connections: Any time you can connect core subjects to kids' online lives, you introduce an opportunity for meaningful, relevant discussions and learning that will matter to them.

Even after #DigCitWeek (next week!), these tips might inspire ways you can continue to integrate these critical life skills."
