Tips and Ideas for Teaching Digital Citizenship in a Hybrid Classroom
Our classroom environments continue to shift during the pandemic, often with both in-person and remote students learning together. Whether we call this hybrid, concurrent, blended learning, or something else entirely, Common Sense's Digital Citizenship Curriculum and teaching resources are designed to foster rich discussions for all students, regardless of how and where they're learning. Students have opportunities to stop and reflect, seek facts and evidence, explore other perspectives, and envision how they might take action in real-world dilemmas.
Below you'll find a variety of helpful tips for teaching digital citizenship to both "roomers" and "Zoomers." Best of all, you can also apply these tips and teaching strategies to many other subjects besides digital citizenship. Click for more

Is your Google Level 1 or 2 expiring? If you want to recertify and have received an email with a link, you will only have to complete the project based tasks if you do it within the timeframe stated. That means no multiple choice questions! Generally, this is within 30 days of your expiration notice but check the specific dates in the email that you were send. Good luck!
