Digital Citizenship & Information Literacy
Dr. Alec Couros
Issues such as cyberbullying and student access to inappropriate content are important areas of understanding for teachers, administrators, children, adolescents, and parents. The presentation will outline many of the important issues that face our schools in an era when access to information is ubiquitous, and digital messages are easily spread. More importantly, the presentation will provide strategies for dealing with and understanding such issues in the positive framework of developing and taking control of adolescent digital identities.
