Welcome to the 7th Grade SDAL site! 

InformationAL Literacy:
Marking Period 1​ and 2

Unit #1: Learning Balance
The goal of the first unit is to help young people begin to find “balance” between the time they spend with media and all the other activities of their lives.

Unit #2: Online Safety & Security
All learners will be equipped with skills to keep them safe online - like making good passwords, managing privacy and security  settings, and much more.

Unit #3: Online Privacy
Understanding what information is safe to share online, and what is not, is one of the great challenges of the digital  age. It is especially important for young people just starting to use social networks and websites to learn how and why to make careful choices about preserving their online privacy.
​
Unit #4: Digital Law
Students will learn to not only become respectful of the creative works they find online,but they will also feel inspired to make and share their own creative work. 

Unit #5: Searching the Web
Learners will be introduced to the basics of Internet  search, including the terminology, how it works, and how to effectively evaluate search results.

Unit #6: Collective Intelligence
Instead of relying on a central authority for knowledge, the Internet offers alternative ways of producing and evaluating information that rely more on people working together. These lessons demonstrate how this works.
