Embedding Digital Citizenship Lessons into the G1 SS Curriculum

Grade 1 Social Studies committee members have been working with their tech coach to develop an updated Our Community unit in order to embed digital citizenship lessons.  Our Community is a unit that focuses on:

• both 'real-world' and 'online' communities
• student roles and responsibilities within these various communities (classroom, school, neighborhood, online)
• the variety of ways people within communities communicate with each other

Four digital citizenship lessons will be explicitly taught either by the classroom teacher, tech coach, and/or librarian.  Optional follow up lessons are also provided for teachers to reinforce these key concepts and skills.
