Session description

In the rapidly evolving digital age, it's crucial for educational institutions to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the digital landscape responsibly. In this session, we will present our innovative approach to carefully craft a scope and sequence to engage learners in becoming positive digital citizens.

Purpose & objective

The proposed session aims to showcase the strategies, resources, and outcomes of Mariemont City Schools' digital citizenship program. We will discuss our journey towards creating a K-12 digital citizenship curriculum, focusing on how we've engaged students, educators, and the community in this endeavor. Attendees will gain insights into the following key elements:
1. Dedicated Digital Learning Coaches:
Mariemont City Schools has committed to fostering digital citizenship by employing three dedicated digital learning coaches. These experts work collaboratively with teachers to integrate digital citizenship principles into everyday instruction. During the session, we will discuss how their roles were defined, their responsibilities, and the impact they've had on both teachers and students.
2. STEM Teacher Engagement:
A STEM teacher's perspective is invaluable in shaping a digital citizenship program. We will share how our STEM teacher plays a pivotal role in merging technology and responsible digital practices. Attendees will learn about the synergies between STEM education and digital citizenship and how this combination enhances learning experiences.
3. Scope and Sequence:
Creating a scope and sequence is essential to ensure that digital citizenship concepts are introduced and reinforced throughout a student's educational journey. We will present our meticulously designed scope and sequence, which aligns with national standards and offers a clear roadmap for progressively building digital citizenship skills in our students.
