[Name] Mike Scafati [Description] You cannot empower student creativity and freedom without instilling digital responsibility first. Our students are the digital natives who today have unimaginable power to explore, create, and learn using devices that we put in their hands. But are we - their teachers - doing enough to guide them on how to navigate the digital issues of plagiarism, security, safety, and cyber-bullying? Do our students know how to create a digital footprint that reflects who they are inside and outside the classroom? The Meadowbrook School of Weston (Massachusetts) has created a culture of student creativity by implementing a K-8 digital citizenship and literacy curriculum. We empower our students to explore, create, and collaborate because we continually guide them on how to navigate the potential pitfalls of the Internet while grasping its seemingly infinite opportunities. Through short videos and hands-on lessons, attendees will experience The Meadowbrook School of Weston’s K-8 digital citizenship program. Learn how to implement a digital citizenship curriculum that not only empowers students, but also provides a necessary foundation to your school’s BYOD program. Learn how to use Google to create interactive and collaborative digital citizenship lessons that make an impact. Learn how the opportunities for student creativity expands into the curricular classroom as a result of a comprehensive digital citizenship program. [Title]
