School Licensing

Grades 3–12 Digital Literacy Curriculum Licensing | BAM Digital Media
School Licensing Program · Available Nationwide

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.

Why this is different: Created by a mother of 3, BFA + MPA, 14-year content creator, and NYC digital literacy educator — not a publisher. This curriculum comes from lived experience.

Why This Work Is Urgent

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.

Cyberbullying Research Center Patchin & Hinduja, 2024

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.

University of British Columbia Götz et al., Personality & Individual Differences, 2025

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.

📉
Digital Conflict Drops
When students complete our cyberbullying prevention curriculum and understand that online behavior has real-world consequences, incidents and reputation-damaging mistakes decrease before they become disciplinary issues.
🎓
College Readiness Improves
Admissions officers actively search applicants online. Students with an intentional digital presence stand out in ways grades alone cannot explain — and they know it before they apply.
💼
Aligns with Real-World Expectations
Digital professionalism is no longer a soft skill. It’s a baseline requirement. Students who graduate understanding this don’t have to learn it the hard way on their own time.

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.

✍️
14 Years of Professional Content Creation The creator behind this curriculum has been making content at brooklynactivemama.com full-time since 2010 — understanding algorithms, audiences, and digital culture from the inside.
👩‍👧‍👦
Raised in the Reality She Teaches As a mother of three, this isn’t theoretical. The curriculum reflects the real tension parents navigate every day between screens and kids — and builds that understanding into every session.
🏫
Built for NYC Classrooms, Scaled for Any District Developed and tested in NYC schools, differentiated by grade band, and now available to schools nationwide with flat-rate annual licensing.
🎓
BFA in Creative Writing + MPA Academic grounding in communication and public administration means this curriculum was designed to move through institutions — not just inspire a single workshop.

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.

01

Request a Demo or Quote

We’ll learn about your school, grade levels, and goals — then put together a proposal scoped to your actual needs. No generic pricing, no pressure.

02

Receive Your Full Curriculum Package

Lesson plans, facilitator guides, student materials, slide decks, assessment tools, and short prep videos — your complete teacher-ready curriculum package delivered to Google Classroom within 5 business days of signing.

03

Teach With Confidence All Year

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.
