BUSD Digital Citizenship Resources for Teachers
Welcome to our Digital Citizenship website. In order to make it easier for our teachers to teach Digital Citizenship, we've assembled resources from the Common Sense Education Digital Citizenship curriculum and other sources by grade-level. We have lesson plans and the accompanying resources for grades K-8 that can be taught in 6 45-minute lessons (3 for grades K-1). There is a one-hour online training that provides information about Digital Citizenship, the curriculum, the resources, how to present it, and how to involve your parents.
