Deep Dive: Identity & Personal Brand
These are resources to help inspire thinking and creativity about how Digital Citizenship fits into our students’ lives and your curriculum. They are meant to help develop your thinking about the topics; you are not required to use any of these resources, but you may use all of them if they prove useful for you.
Some of these resources include full classroom lessons, and it may be helpful to reference resources from them as needed. But no one knows how to teach our students better than our faculty, and a full prepackaged curriculum will not provide an integrated approach that genuinely connects digital citizenship to academics at our school. Choose the resources that will work best for your students in your classroom with your curriculum.
