We've all seen how today's students are constantly connected to their devices. While these tools can be powerful, they also present unique challenges to student well-being and learning. Think: social media, rapid news cycles and ever-evolving technology.
In this workshop, you'll gain practical insights into how innovative schools are addressing these challenges. We'll explore strategies to help students develop the skills they need to thrive in the digital age, including:
- Understanding the Impact: Learn how social media and technology influence student behavior, mental health, and academic performance.
- Building Digital Literacy: Equip students with the tools to critically evaluate information, identify misinformation, and practice responsible online behavior.
- Promoting Positive Online Experiences: Cultivate a positive school culture that fosters empathy, kindness, and respect, both online and offline.
- Addressing Current Events: Help students navigate complex issues and develop media literacy skills to understand the news and form informed opinions.
By the end of this workshop, you'll have a clear understanding of how to create a supportive and empowering learning environment that prepares students for the future. You'll also receive practical resources to implement these strategies in your classroom.
