I first learned about common sense media when I went to look at movie ratings for a movie a cooperating teacher was thinking about showing in her class. They provided a breakdown of what ages the movie was appropriate for and why they believed that – and I thought that was a great resource!
But that’s not all they do! They also provide digital literacy and digital citizenship curriculum for students and teachers, as well! The site provides a wealth of materials to assist the teacher in providing digital literacy education for their students, including videos, interactive lessons, assessments, e-books, and of course, printable lesson plans that include scope and sequence for the teacher.
If you’re interested in introducing some digital literacy education into your classroom, head over to their curriculum training videos and a quick sign-up and hour-long training video will get you well on your way!
