http://www.digitalcitizenship.netT/E implemented our Digital Citizenship curriculum in the fall of 2011. Students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades engage in Digital Citizenship discussions with their school librarian in grade-level lessons throughout the school year. Students in 5th - 8th grades engage in Digital Citizenship discussions with assigned teachers and peer groups in four scheduled grade-level meetings throughout the school year. Lisa Lukens, Technology Teacher on Special Assignment, K-12, works with K-8 school librarians to develop the lessons. All lessons have been adapted from the Common Sense Media (
