   https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-citizenship/curriculum
   
   • Think about using one of these lessons in your Intern II experience. It might also overlap with your PDP for technology. Consider doing a Digital Citizenship Night for families (a spinoff of the Reading Night often done in schools).
     
     
   • Here's an article from Edutopia on "Getting Kids to Take Online Safety Seriously"
     https://www.edutopia.org/article/getting-kids-take-online-safety-seriously

6. Getting money for technology:

• Writing a grant
• Fund a project or specific purpose (e.g. Keeping It Green - Recycling program, SMART Boards for Improving Literacy)
  
• Use existing data from your school, system, and classroom (your assessment or anecdotal data!)
  
• List other sources of possible or existing funding (e.g. matching grants, school budget)
• Stick to the RFP (Request For Proposals) guidelines STRICTLY
  
  
• Selling Stuff
  • BURNING QUESTION: Who makes most of the money?
  • Why do schools use these services?
  • Consider an alternative: https://www.signupgenius.com/school/school-fundraising-ideas.cfm
    
    
• Doing fundraising
• Be detailed about what you will purchase or fund with the proceeds
• Set a goal of a dollar amount and provide updates on how the fund raising is going
• Follow up, especially with large donors
• Once goal is met, purchase immediately and alert the media!
• Register with donor websites such as: http://www.donorschoose.org/
• How this works for teachers: https://www.donorschoose.org/teachers

• Partner with organizations (Foundations, Universities, Non-Profits)
• Share resources (e.g. facilities, personnel, volunteers)
• Make the agreement very explicit and it's best in writing so that all parties are clear on expectations and requirements
• Is this a reliable charity or non-profit? http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=9284
