Please wait...As upstanding “Citizens," we need to participate positively in our physical communities - our schools, neighborhoods, cities, states, countries and the world. Likewise, as exemplary “Digital Citizens," we must learn how to participate positively in a variety of digital/cyber/online communities. It is only by developing a clear sense of both our rights and our responsibilities that we can become fully engaged, contributing "Citizens" of all the communities in which we find ourselves.

Credit: 1/4 Technology credit will be awarded upon successful completion of modules at Freshmen level. Sophomores will complete the Awareness, Safety, and Health modules to meet the Orange Schools Health and CIPA technology requirement.
Background and format: This blended learning program was initiated as the result of national and state requirements such as the Child Internet Protection Act and E-rate funding, respectively. It also addresses meets the national Common Core ELA/Literacy standards, the International Society for Technology in Education standards, and the American Association of School Librarians "Standards for the 21st Century Learner." Throughout the program, the student will complete purposefully designed work to review and reinforce the standards documented for each module and/or assignment. The format is considered "blended learning" because the students will be introduced to the work within existing courses, but will be required to complete and/or submit work independently to the Student Achievement Tool (Taskstream) for the purpose of preparing learners for future online coursework and professional development.
