Student Digital Citizenship:
All students participate in digital citizenship lessons twice a month. These lessons include topics like cyber bullying, protecting personal information, digital/life balance, and so much more. Students watch videos in class made by the VILS Coach Rebecca Czerniak and then complete assignments using various digital programs. Teachers monitor students as they watch the videos and complete the activities. An example of a lesson is to the right.
Several lessons are created using Common Sense Digital Citizenship Lessons: https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-citizenship/curriculum?grades=5,6,7,8&topic=media-balance--well-being

Self Reflection on the Element: (Choose one: Emerging, Aligning, or Optimizing)
We are currently Aligning for the Element of Consistent Access.
Strengths: How did your campus exemplify illustrating this element?
In the beginning of the year, we started off very strong for students completing Digital Citizenship lessons in their classrooms. Students watched the videos in class and then completed a variety of assignments/activities in their Digital Citizenship Google Classroom. We also had a great Loaner program where loaner computers were available in every classroom so that students that forgot their computers or were getting a device fixed would still have devices in order to complete their classwork.
Next Steps: What could you have done differently to better align with this element?
Next year, I hope to. be able to teach some of the Digital Citizenship lesson in person rotating between the grade levels.
