by Shannon McClintock Miller

How do we verify our answers, ask meaningful questions, and have the stamina to find the right answer in a variety of situations? When do we seek more information, and when are we confident in a quick result?

what it means to be literate in the digital age must include an understanding of how to utilize technology in meaningful ways and be familiar with the various available tools so we are able to choose the appropriate tool for a specific task.

be able to reflect on the role technology plays in our lives and explore the implications of our decisions.

Self-regulation and learning to control our usage will continue to be important skills as more digital tools are embedded in our lives.

think about it as “citizenship in the digital age,” making it a more mainstream conversation for which everyone in a school community is responsible.

tying digital conversations to any character education initiatives that might be happening in your school to make discrete connections for all involved.
