Description
Digital media is profoundly changing the nature of childhood and today’s connected culture brings with it ethical challenges that are unique to this generation of young people. These challenges manifest in activities that are familiar to any educator today such as cyberbullying sexting digital cheating and more. This panel will examine the research on these challenges and offer insight on developing effective practices that encourage responsible media use by young people and critical thinking about ethical challenges by all school stakeholders.
