Digital citizenship learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. It occurs at home, in conversations online, with friends, at the library and many other moments. in libraries, at playgrounds, with friends and in quiet, contemplative moments. How can the larger school community help students learn to be safe and positive digital citizens?
This webinar will present some ideas for learning digital citizenship skills across a local community. Presented in partnership by Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, founder of Digital Respons-Ability and Sylvia Stein, the founder of StickTogether, attendees will leave with both out-of-the-box and out-of-the-classroom ideas.
Join Children’s Media Association, the LEGO Group, Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and NAMLE for an interactive virtual session where we will investigate the questions: what is children’s digital well-being? why is it important? and how can we all build towards it? We’ll share new research and plans from the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) initiative and hear from experts in child development, gaming—and you! Let’s explore how we can all play a role in building a better digital landscape for children.
What strategies, tools, and habits can we cultivate in order to withstand misinformation and fake news? Librarian Di Zhang shares his biggest lessons from nearly a decade of teaching information and media literacy and engaging with conspiracy theorists and trolls. Come for the tips and stay for the lively discussion!
