The purpose of this session is to allow students to see learn about digital leadership vs. the typical version of digital citizenship lesson of "Don't do this, don't do that." This lesson allows them to see how social media can be used to promote social good and how it can help create a positive digital footprint. Participants in this session will be able to use this lesson in their own classrooms using either the cause I share, inequity in education for females around the globe, or another cause. In the lesson I am sharing, students used a variety of digital mediums (WeVideo, Canva, Adobe Spark, and Book Creator) to bring attention and awareness to the cause. In one instance, their work was then shared on Padlet along with classes from Colorado and New York. All work, as approved by the student, is shared on social media for feedback.
During the presentation I will present an overview of the work that my students and I have done with this project and resources I have used. (7-10 minutes)
Participants will get an opportunity to view a clip from the film Girl Rising and create a post and/or share thoughts on a shared Padlet. (10-15 minutes)
Our class used Girl Rising to learn about the cause.
