We have new Digital Well-Being lessons, which we co-developed with the Center for Digital Thriving at Harvard Graduate School of Education. This session walked through the lessons and how to use them at school. 

As more schools offer 1:1 tech use, students are using school-provided devices to engage with their peers, tinker online, and learn. More and more schools are struggling to update their tech policies to make them relevant. When was the last time your school examined its Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)? Or created a new one? How can you ensure your policies are culturally competent and reinforce students' online strengths? Join Common Sense Education's Jamie Nuñez and Sue Thotz and learn the foundational steps needed to create a culturally competent AUP. The interactive session will invite participants to review their tech agreements with others, explore must-haves digital citizenship descriptors, and provide practical implementation tips to roll out to students. Come for the tech agreement horror stories and leave with a clear plan to help your students feel valued as digital advocates. This is a Common Sense Connected Schools educator professional development session (not appropriate for parents/caregivers). 

Check out the great video resources and learn how to integrate digital citizenship activities into your classroom in less than 15 minutes. Select from videos that provide tips to get you started and how-to implementation ideas. There are also short options that provide parent education on topics including "social media basics for parents" and "selecting quality content for your family." We also share examples of ways to collaborate with Common Sense to provide a personalized, individual, parent education event just for your school.

Technology is changing the social and emotional landscape that students navigate every day, from how they express themselves to how they communicate with friends and family. How can we support students to promote their own well-being and to be a positive influence in their digital lives? 

Common Sense Education has created a new Social-Emotional Learning Resource Center full of free resources for promoting SEL in the digital lives of students. Join us as we explore SEL, discuss how it is related to digital citizenship and consider the unique SEL challenges that students encounter in their digital lives. This virtual workshop will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school leaders of the elementary through high school levels.

Digital citizenship has always been imperative, but the pandemic has highlighted the need to support students in engaging in responsible online behaviors. More than ever before, educators and families need to work together to prepare kids to think critically and use technology in positive, creative, and powerful ways. Join Common Sense for an engaging, interactive session to learn about the wealth of advice, research, and tools schools can use to engage families around digital well-being and media balance. This virtual workshop will be of interest to teachers, librarians, and school leaders of elementary through high school levels.
