[LM_NET] New "Digital Citizenship and Creative Content" Curriculum

[Jennifer Maydole <jennifermaydole@VERIZON.NET>]

Dear Fellow LM_NETers,

I have been supporting school libraries for about 17 years. During that time the 
"copyright issue" has become a passion of mine. I am happy to provide you all with 
this link to the NEW-FREE-ONLINE curriculum for the library and classroom that will 
support your efforts to teach students how to become good Digital 
Citizens-respectful users and creators of intellectual property. (And it will 
educate your classroom teachers along the way.)  Let me know if you have any 
questions. My direct email address is included below.

The Digital Citizenship and Creative Content curriculum is the exciting new 
resource developed to support teachers' needs for addressing digital citizenship.  
We're pleased to announce it will be available on November 20th for use in the 
classroom. ! It earned the ISTE "Seal of Alignment." It is aligned to national 
standards including:

·         the AASL "Standards for the 21st Century Learner," 

·         National Council For the Social Studies "Thematic Strands," 

·         Center for Civic Education "National Standards for Civics and Government- 
Grades 5-8, 9-12, 

·         "National Council for Economic Education "Voluntary National Content 
Standards in Economics," and 

·         National Council for Teachers of English (IRA) "Standards for English 
Language Arts." 

·         It provides for cross-discipline classroom teaching.



Digital Citizenship and Creative Content provides educators with teaching 
resources, an experiential student curriculum, and interactive tools to ensure 
students have the knowledge to become influential, respectful consumers and 
beneficiaries of intellectual property and creative content in a digital economy.  
The curriculum accomplishes this by teaching students about creative rights in a 
manner that is meaningful and relevant to them.  The content is well balanced in 
addressing a broad range of digitally delivered IP that students interact and 
experience on a daily basis. 

As a reminder, this curriculum is available to all teachers and schools for FREE, 
through Microsoft's co-sponsorship of the program.  As a result of your willingness 
to distribute the curriculum through emails and posting a hyperlink button on your 
school web page, you will be providing a valuable resource to your staff who will 
be able to access it on an ongoing basis.

In addition to offering this initial access we are interested in your ideas to 
achieve long-term and sustained adoption of this curriculum. Please contact us with 
your thoughts and ideas, as well as any questions that you may have.

Thanks again for working with us to provide this valuable teaching tool to 
secondary classroom teachers. And please let me know when you have emailed or 
included the information in your newsletter or posted the link on your web page. 

Sincerely,

 

       Jennifer Maydole
