My kid is on their phone, again! Shifting our perceptions on 21st Century communication
We know we need to get kids to create and not just consume technology, but how do we do this with no support from stakeholders? In this workshop we will move the discussion from perceptions to reality as we explore the changing paradigm of our learning cultures in the 21st Century. Our face-to-face world is blending quickly with the digital realm, we need to understand the belief systems that exist within this digital realm and create new norms of behavior and expectations to support them. With the use of Common Sense Media we will identify ways to create a strong Social Emotional Learning environment in our new learning cultures that transcend school to home boundaries.
