I am teaching a brand new Digital Media course at my school that I was told about the day before school started…of course there isn’t a district curriculum for it, so I’ve been tasked with writing one.

 

My plan is this:

Q1: Digital Citizenship

Q2: Research Skills

Q3: Digital content creation (canva, google sites, piktochart, etc)

Q4: Research project using all of the skills we covered in Q1-3.

 

I’m using Common Sense lesson plans for Digital Citizenship.

 

Does anyone have intro to research skills lessons & worksheets they are willing to share that I can use for my Q2 curriculum?

I am interested and following this thread. 

 

I am currently teaching a Digital Literacy middle school course that I revised using resources from Common Sense and DigitalSkills.org. I named the course Digital Literacy as I agree media literacy, digital citizenship, internet safety, and information literacy are all subsets. I plan to "tweek" the course again this year from what I learn from The News Literacy Project, etc. 

 

I am happy to share. There are many files, so advice on how to do that would be appreciated. 

 

I look forward to brainstorming, collaborating, and support with this curriculum development.

Also working on definitions.

 

I see digital literacy as an umbrella that media literacy, digital citizenship, internet safety, and information literacy all fall under ... But this topic will be covered at a 10/30 meeting.

I will keep you posted as the conversation develops.

Any chance they will change/edit the title and refer to the curriculum as Information Literacy? I think it's important to include media literacy in any new curriculum being implemented/mandated by the state. 

 

I have started to use Checkology.

IF you have something your district is currently using, can you send me the link?

We are looking to see what is already being used across the State.
