Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/article/digital-citizenship-resources
This curated list of various articles and videos is an excellent resource for educators looking to introduce the concept of digital citizenship to students. Topics range from internet safety to media literacy. 

Theatrefolk: https://www.theatrefolk.com/blog/tag/digital-citizenship/
Although their resources are limited, Theatrefolk has published two articles focused on digital citizenship in the theatre classroom and a quiz for teachers to gauge their digital citizenship skills.

Common Sense Education: https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-citizenship/curriculum?grades=9%2C10%2C11%2C12
Our world has become more dependent on technology, so Common Sense Education has created lesson plans to help students of all ages navigate the digital world in a safe, healthy, and respectful manner. Lesson plans offered are for grades K through 12 and cover the following areas of digital citizenship: media balance and well-being; privacy and security; digital footprint and identity; relationships and communication; cyberbullying, digital drama, and hate speech; news and media literacy.

ISTE's digital citizenship database is another collection of articles that focuses on various areas of digital citizenship and their relevance to current happenings in classrooms across the country. 

Toolkit for Digitally Literate Teachers (USC Rossier): https://rossieronline.usc.edu/digital-literacy-teacher-toolkit/USC
Rossier's toolkit contains checklists, online tools, and real-life stories to help inspire and guide educators when implementing digital citizenship practices into their curricula.  

The Digital Citizenship Institute: https://www.digcitinstitute.com
I stumbled upon this organization when searching through some of the resources provided by Edutopia. This organization focuses specifically on digital citizenship but on a global level. The Digital Citizenship Institute operates an international classroom program that spans a total of 12 weeks. The first six weeks focus on the pillars of digital citizenship, followed by another six-week period where educators will implement these practices into their classroom and devise a digital citizenship project with their students.
