If this year has taught us anything, it is that our students are capable and ready to engage in a digital world. It is more important than ever to do a self-check on how we are guiding our students as far as Digital Citizenship. But, how can we do this without adding “one more thing” to our overflowing plates? Join us for a collaborative workshop where you will experience truly embedding Digital Citizenship skills. This will go beyond teaching one more lesson on creating safe passwords, and show you how you can encourage your students to have a strong digital self, become a digital interactor, and ultimately evolve into a digital agent. All workshops are BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). Participants are responsible for bringing a wifi enabled device with all workshop software/apps downloaded before attending.

Educators everywhere know how powerful engaging learning experiences can be for students. In this session, instructional technology coach Adam and 5th Grade ELA teacher Elise will talk about how AR/VR coaching cycles have impacted her students! Participants will learn how they included AR/VR experiences into the Google For Education Coaching Cycle model and be able to access engaging resources that can be used tomorrow. Attendees will have the opportunity to use AR/VR devices during the session. After all, experience is the best teacher!
