This resource has been designed to support self-directed professional learning for educators. Consider it a tasting of the idea, but not the whole meal. We hope that educators will explore the materials presented here as provocations to spark further learning and opportunities to design meaningful learning for the students in their care.
Something piqued your curiousity about this topic. We invite you to be thoughtful about your personal learning intentions, be open to new ideas and consider possibility as you delve into this concept.
We invite you to add your learning intentions on the following collaborative Padlet.
The materials on this website can be consumed in many ways. It is possible to use the top navigation as a linear path, and you can spend time engaging in each section in order. However, others might see value in diving deeper with specific ideas and concepts. We hope these ideas take you beyond this site as well, as you investigate new ideas and concepts of digital wellness.
Either way, we hope you will take something away and also leave something behind for others to consider. Each section of the website includes reflective and sharing prompts to deepen your own learning and contribute to the learning of other educators who visit this space. Thanks in advance for your contributions!
In addition to a certificate of completion, all participants that complete this course will get their own copy of Fact vs. Fiction: Teaching Critically Thinking Skills in the Age of Fake News (a great resource with many practical ideas and resources related to Digital Wellness).
Additionally, at any point during your learning here (or afterwards), feel free to contact our team should you need any support. We're here to co-plan, co-learn, and co-teach beside you. Simply email education.support@sd23.bc.ca to get in touch.
We know, educators can't do this work on their own. Digital wellness is a great example of learning that spans well beyond the walls of the school and it intersects completely with parenting responsibilities. It is important to consider how educators might collaborate with parents and guardians to make this learning meaningful.
