Curriculum
Manners & Cybercitizenship
Dear Educators,
With the Manners & Cybercitizenship lessons in our highly acclaimed free CyberSmart! Student Curriculum, we've worked to actively engage students in exploring their social, legal, and ethical responsibilities as Internet users. In our carefully developed lessons, students
- examine their own and others' behaviors and learn what constitutes cyberbullying and how to deal with cyberbullying situations
- consider the power and responsibilities of citizenship in cyberspace, including adherence to their school's acceptable use policy
- extend the concept of property into cyberspace by learning to ethically and responsibly use intellectual property, hardware, and networks
The topic of cyberbullying—one of four topics in our Manners, Bullying, and Ethics unit—is addressed in our new CyberSmart! Cyberbullying Package, distributed in proud partnership with NSBA's Technology Leadership Network, Character Education Partnership, National Association of School Psychologists and the National Cyber Security Alliance.
