Parenting in the Digital Age

4/22/2017

Date:Saturday April 22, 2017
Time:9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

Digital citizenship and keeping kids safe online is such an important topic. We were so proud to be able to feature #digcitkids in a recent webinar with Curran Dee and Marialice Curran, a mother/son team who are the co-founders of #digcitkids. Curran shared "Digital Citizenship from a Kid's Perspective" and it was so exciting to hear about their initiative. In today's webinar we are thrilled to hear from Steve Garton from Common Sense Education to learn how the amazing Common Sense resources can support parents and educators with "Parenting in the Digital Age." The Common Sense resources are exemplary, and this is the "go to" site for teachers and parents alike when they want support for curriculum, ideas and materials that will help promote safe online activities with kids. Steve will share information about many of these resources including Common Sense Media, Common Sense Education, Common Sense Kids Action and Connecting Families. His insights into the research about how teens/tweens are using media and ways to help them find balance with their digital lifestyle will be invaluable and will provide ways parents and teachers can support activities such as video games, social media, screen time, sharing online and much more!

Steve Garton is Senior Manager for Common Sense Education. He is an expert in meaningful technology integration, particularly in large-scale initiatives. He supports districts with professional development planning, program monitoring, student assessment, and communication across stakeholder groups. Prior to joining Common Sense, Steve was the Coordinator of Educational Technology for the Maine Department of Education. At the Maine Department of Education, he led the professional development programs for the Maine Learning Technology Initiative, the state’s 1:1 program that supported over 12,000 teachers and administrators. As a member of the department’s leadership team, he provided policy support and leadership. Steve was co-chair of the Smarter Balanced Consortium Technology Approach Committee and led the initial technology readiness and assessment infrastructure work. Additionally, he served as a member of the advisory council of the Maine School and Library Network, Maine’s statewide broadband network serving K-12 schools and public libraries. Steve has served as a technology director at the county level (Trumbull County, Ohio) and a classroom teacher and technology coordinator of the Sharon City School District in Pennsylvania.

Digital Citizenship from a Kid's Perspective

4/1/2017

Date:Saturday April 1, 2017
Time:9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

We are so excited to welcome Curran Dee as our special guest presenter for this webinar on April 1, 2017 in his presentation entitled "Digital Citizenship from a Kid's Perspective." Curran will be sharing information about DigCitKids which was co-created with his mom as a forum for digital citizenship for kids by kids. He'll be sharing his experiences and projects with @digcitkids including their pledge and monthly challenges which are designed to amplify student voice and leadership

Curran is the Chief Kid Officer of DigCitKids (digcitkids.com) who advocates for parents and children to learn alongside each other to develop skills digital natives and digital immigrants alike need to use on a daily basis. His past advocacy work includes Twitter chats, a TEDxYouth speech in Burlington, Mass. Most recently, Curran was interviewed on TeacherCast discussing the idea of kids as global citizens. “When kids are passionate about creating change, they need to learn with the world. That happens digitally,” he said. “I think even kids in elementary school should be able to have a voice and be able to make connections beyond the classroom walls.” In the future, he has plans to do workshops offline that will help kids of all ages connect, collaborate, learn, understand and solve problems safely through offline activities and online discussions.

Curran works alongside his mom, Marialice B.F.X. Curran, Ph.D., founder of the Digital Citizenship Institute and cofounder of the Digital Citizenship Summit, both based in Connecticut. Dr. Curran has partnered with her ten-year old and the two are recognized professionally as a mother/son digital citizenship team. The dynamic duo model best practices while working with parents, educators, students and community organizations. “As a teacher, principal and associate professor, my most rewarding work has been advocating with my son as he paves the way for a new generation.” Teachers, parents, students, colleges and ed/tech industry experts are learning from their example. “Our mission at DigCitKids is to keep asking a wider audience, ‘How are you using technology every day to make a difference for your community, for other kids and for the world?’ and then showing them how to get started,” She is passionate about empowering students around the world with positive and practical solutions. An international speaker and named one of the Top 10 Digital Citizenship bloggers to follow in 2014 by Common Sense Media, Curran co-founded (2011) and moderates the digital citizenship #digcit chat on Twitter and also serves on the leadership team for the Digital Citizenship PLN through ISTE.
