The 3 Es

RUSD is well on its way to providing students with the necessary lessons to prepare them to be digital citizens and digitally literate. This year, we rolled out a K-12 Digital Citizenship and Literacy curriculum.  We branded this curriculum with the mantra of The 3 Es.  RUSD’s Digital Citizenship and Literacy curriculum prepares students to be Effective, Efficient, and Ethical users of digital media and technology. A sample of our K-12 Digital Citizenship Scope and Sequence (adapted from LBUSD) is available for viewing at http://bit.ly/13yg3LR.   

As we transition into the Common Core State Standards, Bryant Elementary has recognized the importance of integrating technology along with the Ethical piece of becoming a digital citizen. Mrs. Austin, a Technology Integration Coach, worked diligently with teachers and students as she hosted “Technology Specials” that taught students how to be Ethical users of digital media and technology devices during school and at home. Check out Bryant’s Kinders as they learn from Moby about the how the rules about staying safe in the real world are very similar to the rules about staying safe on the Internet. Fourth grade students participated in a lesson from  Common Sense Media  about their responsibilities and how to positively impact far more than just themselves.
