Participate and share: Poster 
The purpose of this session is to share our district’s journey of implementing digital wellness into our k-12 library programming in addition to supporting teachers within our buildings with this journey as well. The following are the objectives we will be covering:
-Describe the difference between digital citizenship and digital wellness.
-Explain the five elements of digital wellness and how we support and instruct those elements (practice mindfulness, explore learning, think critically, connect positively, and be safe).
-Share out resources to help you create and teach this topic in a k-12 district within your library setting.
-Explain how the PBS Media Literacy Educator program helps support our district’s digital wellness program.
-Share out approaches we used to help support classrooms with digital wellness.
-Describe how the ISTE Standards align with digital wellness elements.
After our presentation, participants will walk away with digital resources, lessons and activities they can use with their students and teachers in their school district. An example of activities, dress up days to celebrate Digital Wellness during National Library Week. In addition, we will share a curated list of children’s books that support each of the five elements of digital wellness for your library program or classroom integration.
Evidence of success will be both student and teacher videos explaining their educational journey this year in the area of digital wellness. We will also share examples of student work that has been created with the support of district Library Media Specialists.
The content presented will define digital wellness and the five elements, how digital wellness connects to the ISTE standards, examples of lessons used within the library setting to instruct our students, as well as student work and ways we support classrooms. We will also share lessons and student creations developed while participating in the PBS digital literacy cohort supporting digital wellness. All resources will be digital and participants will receive scannable cards with all the materials and resources.
Each of the five objectives stated above should take no more than five to ten minutes to address. There will be a video of student work and thoughts about digital wellness running throughout the presentation which will also be made available to those who are attending to view at a later time.
We plan to engage our audience using various formats of media such as peer-to-peer interactions, QR Codes, and videos created of student work and thoughts about digital wellness. At the end, there will be an opportunity for participants to play a game-based learning activity using a device to check their new knowledge.
