Digital Citizenship skills are essential for our students to be Future Ready. This session will help district leaders understand all that Digital Citizenship encompasses, and how it connects within the state and ISTE standards. We will share district efforts and next steps to create a baseline Digital Citizenship course for all teachers which provides training, resources and support as they move forward with implementing a robust Digital Citizenship program in their classrooms. Time will be provided for participants to share what is working well in their schools to model, teach and give students feedback on digital citizenship.
