Digital Passport
Welcome to DIGITAL PASSPORT™, Common Sense Education’s award-winning suite of engaging games that address key issues facing kids (grades 3-5) in today's digital world. Learn critical skills related to digital safety, respect, and community. Each of the five games include videos, three levels of game-play, collaborative offline activities, and aligned Digital Citizenship lessons.
- Password Protect, the first lesson, is all about passwords (making strong ones and protecting them), where you will be asked to make a new, strong password and then keep it safe for your use in these units.
- In Twalkers, students learn why it's important to avoid multitasking with a cell phone. They consider the benefits of focusing on one task at a time.
- In Share Jumper, students evaluate examples of online messages. They decide what information is appropriate to share and when. Students are also reminded that nothing is truly "private" or "erasable" online.
- In E-volve, students make choices about what to do if they or their friends are cyberbullied. They are encouraged to "evolve" into an “Upstander” – someone who takes action to stop cyberbullying, rather than standing by.
- In Search Shark, students learn how to choose effective keywords for searching online. They practice selecting keywords that are most relevant to a search prompt. Along the way, students discover hints for narrowing their search results.
- In Mix-n-Mash, students remix media content to create a new creative piece. Along the way, they give proper credit to the artists whose images and sound clips they use.
Digital Passport is fun and effective. Web-based games and videos engage 3rd - 5th graders in independent learning. Modules zero in on critical skills related to digital safety, respect, and community. Collaborative classroom activities reinforce online lessons. Students earn badges toward a Digital Passport for completing each section!
