Common Sense Media Curriculum

Common Sense Media is one of my major go-to sites when I'm trying to determine what content is appropriate. It's particularly good on movies, but they also have some good information on books and web sites and computer games. They also have some great articles about media literacy, issues around cellphones and kids' use of technology.

An article in today's New York Times talks about how they are stepping up their profile in the area of school curriculum to teach today's students about good online behavior and citizenship. It looks like their programs will be worth looking at in more depth and could yield some very useful lessons.
