    LISD's Commitment to Digital Citizenship for all Students

     

  • Why Digital Citizenship Focus?

    Each grade level has Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards or guidelines that reference digital citizenship and digital literacy. Digital citizenship education is also a federal mandate.

    Lewisville ISD has made a commitment to building digital citizenship skills for all students. This is a multifaceted approach including a stand-alone curriculum and lessons integrated into the content area curriculum. Campus teams are encouraged to provide additional opportunities for students to build upon these valuable skills. The infographic below outlines topics for the stand-alone curriculum by grade level.

    Part of our commitment to Digital Citizenship includes campus and district Common Sense Media recognition. LISD has been a Common Sense District since 2020, and is a distinction held by only 9 districts in Texas. You can read more about Common Sense Media recognition here.

    Common Sense Media For Parents

    Media and technology are at the center of kids' lives every day. From a very young age, kids use technology at home and at school to connect with friends and family and to document their lives and create digital content of their own. With more and more of life happening online, what catches kids' attention isn't always what's best for them, and what companies do with their personal information isn't always clear.

    Since 2003, Common Sense has been the leading source of entertainment and technology recommendations for families and schools. Every day, millions of parents and educators trust Common Sense reviews and advice to help them navigate the digital world with their kids. Together with policymakers, industry leaders, and global media partners, we're building a digital world that works better for all kids, their families, and their communities.

    Parents can find information regarding books, apps, movies and current need-to-know information straight from the Common Sense Media website. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/
