Common Sense Education resources is our district’s go-to resource for digital citizenship lessons and information. The website (https://www.commonsense.org/education/) has a section for educators and parents. By clicking on the Parent tab at the top, you can access reviews on apps, movies, books, and much more by clicking on the Reviews tab. An example image is attached for a very popular website/game for elementary students, Animal Jam (https://www.animaljam.com). In the review it gives a star rating, an age recommendation, and then breaks down the rationale for the rating based on several categories. Parents can also see a blurb with more detailed information. I highly encourage parents to check out this valuable resource
