HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH (OF A GOOD THING)?

We’ve talked so much lately about cultivating a 21st century classroom and the components that make up a modern classroom.  

And although it’s fun to talk about all the bells and whistles and shiny objects that can come with a 21st century classroom - powerful and engaging components like technology and multimedia -  it’s also important that we explore the other side of what it means to use technology and raise students in our digital world - and that is digital citizenship.

With all the amazing things that come with implementing classroom technology, also comes responsibility.  Just as we want to prepare our students to navigate new technology, we also want to teach them the responsibility that comes with it.

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to digital citizenship, and if we’re going to truly teach our students what it means to be a positive digital citizen and take ownership of their digital lives, we need to approach it from a variety of angles.  

In today’s episode we’re going to start at the foundation, which is helping our students make healthy media choices and finding balance.  

Just as we want students to make healthy choices when it comes to food and moving our bodies, we want students to learn how to make healthy choices in their digital lives.  Teachers can be a part of this by modeling a healthy balance in how digital resources are used in the classroom and through the conversations we have with students as it relates to media.
