School Licensing
Built by a Creator.
Designed for the Classroom.
A 12-week digital literacy program for grades 3–12 — built from 14 years of living and creating online, not a curriculum committee. Teacher-ready, Google Classroom compatible, and designed to help students become conscious, critical participants in their digital lives.
Cyberbullying rates among teens aged 13–17 have more than doubled since 2007 — rising from 18.8% to 54.6%. In 2023 alone, 26.5% of teens reported being cyberbullied in the previous 30 days.
Generation Z — despite growing up online — performs worse at detecting misinformation than every other generation, including Baby Boomers. Being a digital native does not make students digitally literate.
A meta-analysis of 6,250 students ages 8–18 confirms that school-based digital literacy programs produce significant, measurable improvements in students’ ability to evaluate online information and navigate digital environments safely.
Not a Publisher.
A Practitioner.
Most digital literacy curricula are written by committees that have never created content professionally, raised children in the algorithm age, or stood in front of a classroom watching kids scroll through their feeds.
This teacher-ready program was built differently — by someone who lives it.
Schnelle has spent 14 years building a career as a full-time content creator at brooklynactivemama.com — living inside the algorithms, platforms, and digital culture she now teaches students to navigate. She holds a BFA in Creative Writing and an MPA, and is a mother of three navigating the same screen-time tensions she addresses in every session. She’s taught digital literacy across NYC schools and hosts the Smart With Screens podcast, all built around one goal: helping students consciously use their phones for good, not let their phones use them.
One Program. Every Grade Level.
Every session is differentiated for Elementary, Middle, and High School — so the same school license covers your entire community or district. Each module includes ready-to-teach lesson plans, discussion guides, and student activities. Sessions are also available à la carte.
Simple to Approve. Ready to Teach.
Licensing a digital literacy program shouldn’t create scheduling headaches. The BAM model puts everything in your teachers’ hands and keeps delivery inside your school’s structure — no coordinating around an outside presenter.

Teach With Confidence All Year
Your teacher facilitates. We provide everything they need — including optional module-by-module training and monthly implementation support if you want it.
Built for Every School. Scaled for Districts.
The curriculum is differentiated by grade band so one license can serve your entire school community — or multiple schools under a district agreement.
Elementary Schools (3–5)
Foundational lessons on how the internet works, staying safe online, and being kind in digital spaces — our digital citizenship curriculum for grades 3–5 is paced for young learners without talking down to them.
Middle Schools (6–8)
Our media literacy curriculum for middle school covers misinformation, algorithm awareness, and digital identity — the exact skills students need before social media takes over, and exactly when those conversations hit hardest.
High Schools (9–12)
Digital reputation management, AI literacy for high school students, personal branding, and professional online presence — focused on college and career readiness before seniors walk out the door.
Districts & Administrators
License a digital literacy program district-wide and pilot at one school first. We provide a Pilot Summary Report at year’s end formatted for board presentation — making the case for expansion easy.
Pricing Built Around Your School.
School licensing for a digital literacy program shouldn’t come with per-student fees or headcount tracking. All BAM licenses are flat-rate — starting at $4,000/semester and scaling by school size and modules selected.

Built Around What You’re Already Required to Teach.
This isn’t a stand-alone add-on — it’s designed to map onto standards your district already reports against.
ISTE Standards for Students
Curriculum content is informed by the Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, and Media Literacy competencies within the ISTE framework.
CASEL SEL Competencies
Modules on empathy, digital habits, and community norms draw on self-management, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making competencies.
State Digital Citizenship Mandates
A growing number of states now require digital citizenship instruction. We’ll walk your team through exactly where this program satisfies your state’s requirements.
What Schools Are Saying.
Your workshops were incredibly well received — every teacher told me the content felt genuinely relevant to their students, and seeing it in action confirmed just how critical this information is for kids today. We’d love to work with you again.
In one hour, I learned exactly how rapidly the information we share online is being used to influence us. I immediately disabled my notifications and became far more intentional about my time online — and Schnelle gave me the language to talk about it with my whole household.
The feedback from our parents was overwhelmingly positive. Many expressed genuine appreciation for the valuable insights and knowledge shared during the sessions — we look forward to continued collaboration.
Questions From Schools Outside NYC.
The core curriculum — internet literacy, media literacy, AI literacy, algorithm awareness, digital habits, and digital reputation — is not NYC-specific. It’s built around universal digital behavior patterns. We customize references and examples where local context matters.
The curriculum is designed for your own teachers to facilitate in-classroom using our materials. Optional live virtual training and support calls are available for any district, regardless of location.
It’s built to supplement, not replace. Districts typically run it alongside existing health, advisory, or SEL blocks.
We do not collect or store any student data. All activities are conducted through your school’s existing Google Classroom environment.
Your full curriculum package is delivered to Google Classroom within 5 business days of signing.
Yes — this is common. We provide a Pilot Summary Report at year’s end, formatted for board presentation, to support a district-wide expansion decision.
