This course is designed to explore the impact of technology, digital communication, and the ways children and adolescents socialize, learn, and are perceived in the classroom. Participants in this course will learn about the nature of digital devices and the pressure they place on K-12 students, and how they can impede the development of critical life skills such as empathy, conflict resolution, and resilience. The effective use of technology and media literacy will be investigated. This course prepares educators by engaging them in thoughtful dialogue and activities that promote 21st-century ideas and understanding of students’ diverse, digital, and global learning needs.
