Used thoughtfully, technology can engage and empower our students in remarkable ways. If this past year has taught us anything, it is that we can (and sometimes must) communicate, connect and learn digitally. These ubiquitous tools have become important extensions of our lives, and our students understand this, navigating laptops, smartphones and the internet with agility.
Often, the youngest household members are the ones who restart the router when the internet goes down or update the operating systems on everyone's phones. Yet, we remember that they are still children, and we are the adults tasked with guiding them to make good decisions. This has never been more important.
This collection of information and insights in the form of articles, websites, videos, podcasts and more was put together for just that purpose—to help you help our tech-savvy students to navigate the digital world in ways that will have long-term benefits. And we hope you find some "tips and tricks" that help you too!
