Media and technology are at the very center of all our lives today -- especially our children’s. Kids today spend over 50 hours of screen time every week. The media content they consume and create has a profound impact on their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Learning how to use media and technology wisely is an essential skill for life and learning in the 21st century.

Now more than ever, they need a trusted guide to help them navigate a world where change is the only constant. Common Sense Education provides teachers and schools with free research-based classroom tools to help students harness technology for learning and life. The Common Sense K–12 Digital Citizenship Curriculum and interactive games teach students how to make safe, smart, and ethical decisions in the digital world.
