5 Things You Want Your Child to Be Online! Digital Competencies for 21st Century Learners

November 12, 2020 • Family and Community Engagement, Cat Tompkins

How do you want your child to be online? What will his/her digital footprint look like? How should children behave in digital platforms? Often times, we focus on the things that we do not want our kids to do online. For a change, let's ponder what we want them to do online. Let's think about all the positive ways our children and students can interact with technology and use the tools for good. The International Society for Technology Education or ISTE has come up with 5 key competencies that 21st century learners should all possess. Listeners will gain insight to each competency via conversations with CCPS experts Doug Fordham, Kelsey Pacer, Laurie Surles, Teresa Woodroof, and Suzanne Heath. This podcast will give the listener food for thought in helping shape their personal tech use and that of their children.
