Making The Right Digital Decisions Recently, my district began a huge initiative to combat bullying/cyberbullying and to help students become more aware of the choices they make both in their face-to-face lives and their digital decisions as well. There is no one right way or right answer that will stop the problems. However, I do believe that the classroom and our schools are the places where tough conversations need to be had. I have been collecting several resources and I want to share. By no means is this all the stuff that is out there. To start, I want to share this powerful video that was recently shared with me. So besides the interactive nature of the video (which is pretty neat) there are some tough issues here and no doubt these are some of the digital decisions our kids are making each and every day. How can teachers and schools help? There are lots of curricula out there to use in the classroom.You can do a quick search and find lots of free (and paid) stuff. These are some of my favorite resources.
