Ruffing ITInformation Tech and Education…Tryin’ it, Lovin’ it, but sometimes just Ruffin’ IT.

Just came across a link(via eSchoolNews) to a free curriculum offered by Microsoft to teach digital citizenship, especially in the area of intellectual property rights. It seems to have been around for several months though I am just now discovering it. Obviously Microsoft has a vested interest in young digital citizens understanding these concepts, but they are important concepts nonetheless. I have signed up (registration required) and then downloaded the 4 modules of the program. I will take a closer look at it this summer but it looks quite interesting. Program is listed for grades 8-12 but is adaptable down to 6th they say. There is also a website for students to access for their activities in each unit.
