Welcome back to the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re diving into a topic that has become more relevant than ever in our modern, technology-driven world: teaching digital citizenship.
As educators, we’re not only responsible for teaching our students math, science, and language arts—we’re also responsible for preparing them to navigate the digital landscape safely, responsibly, and ethically.
From social media to online research, students are interacting with the digital world daily, and it’s crucial that they understand how to do so in a way that is respectful and informed.
