Digital Citizenship — March 20, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Emilie Evenson, iLEAD Online Facilitator, calls in to the show to talk about the importance of teaching kids about digital citizenship. There is an incredible amount of information available online, but that also means some of your personal information can be on the internet as well. With kids in the Santa Clarita Valley transitioning to online schooling and spending more time online, it is important to teach them how to take care of their digital selves and their data. Listen in to hear the great tips Emilie has for teaching kids about this. You can also visit the following websites for even more resources to help teach your kids about digital citizenship:

Later in the show, Matt and Amber continue to provide what Matt has titled, Love & Logic Tips, for you and your family to maintain a sense of normalcy during the quarantine at home.
Listen in as Matt Watson, Amber Raskin, and Emilie Evenson talk about the importance of digital citizenship with everyone spending more time online to complete schooling and work at home.
About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
