Digital Citizenship a Real World Approach: How to Follow the Child into their Digital World

1.5 CPDs, Run Time: 52:00

Though we may remember a time before the internet, our students do not: They are growing up exploring the wilderness of the online world, full of both opportunities and possible pitfalls. To help them navigate, assess risks, find nourishment, and protect their well-being, we can follow them into their digital worlds and arm them with the Swiss army knife of digital citizenship skills.

During this presentation, Christine will define the facets of digital citizenship, and offer some pathways to exploring these essential life skills in the classroom.
