District Wide Information

Common Sense Media

Common Sense Media is an outstanding resource for educators, parents, kids, families and schools.  It offers reviews and ratings for movies, tv shows, games, apps and much more.  It also provides excellent resources for educators in terms of digital citizenship (this is the resource I used for our district wide digital citizenship course resources), 1:1 essentials, professional development to name a few.  New is Parent Concerns/Common Sense Media where screen time, cyberbullying, privacy and internet safety, Facebook, Instagram, social media, learning with technology, and special needs and learning difficulties are the topics of focus for parents.  Each topic includes FAQ's, articles and video resources.  Check this out and share this fantastic resource with parents in your classroom.

The Fair(y) Use Tale has always been one of my favorite. I wonder if we still have the video from a couple years ago of the "news" special regarding copyright?
