Digital+Citizenship+Week+Plan

October 4 - 8, 2010
Milford elementary students will be exposed to a lesson on digital citizenship using the CyberSmart Curriculum (www.cybersmartcurriculum.org). The lessons that teachers will be focusing on from this online curriculum are Safety and Security Online, Manners (digital etiquette) and Cybercitizenship. The art teachers in the district at the elementary level have decided to create an art piece with the 6th graders where they trace their shoe/footprint and design on it a slogan/saying/tip in regards to safety and digital citizenship. We will be taping the footprints around the school, along with a few stop signs, etc. that have big themes. Music teachers will be sharing digital citizenship songs/raps with students during classtime.
