Creative Digital Citizens course
Have you heard about experiential learning programs which teach teens to be responsible digital citizens?
As a whole, the idea is to teach children about the safe, efficient, and ethical use of digital technology in a fun, engaging way.
As a parent, you want your teen to be a responsible digital citizen, and I commend you for that. Like you, I have kids of my own and understand the importance of equipping teens for their digital world. Therefore, I created this course with our children in mind.
Through my program, I want to enable my students to make more informed digital decisions. During my coursework, I focus my attention on 6 aspect of Digital Citizenship charter:
MEDIA BALANCE
PRIVACY & SECURITY
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT & IDENTITY
CYBERBULLYING & DIGITAL DRAMA
FAKE NEWS & MEDIA LITERACY
Mentored
Young people do not want to be "told" what to do; they want to be "mentored" in a safe and trusted environment, where their needs are understood, and their learning experience takes place within a positive and secure setting.
Methodology
Giving your child the opportunity to learn all about it is best done by using the tools that create the digital world they interact with. They create their own digital animated story with multi-media tools. Teens love to use these applications and learn software skills they can use in future projects.

Engagement
Within a peer group environment, their communication improves, and they have a greater understanding of the dynamics involved in digital communication. In addition, teens learn to respect each other's digital space and the etiquette appropriate to engage responsibly. Cyberbullying is a reality, and through the story they create, they learn how to respond to inappropriate conduct and confidently take action.
A Creative Outlet
Research has proven that when teens can creatively express themselves, it helps them release stress, express their feelings, and deal with difficult emotions. The results are astounding; as their confidence increases, their social skills improve, and they do better in their studies. Through this course, teens creatively express their unique selves in a nurtured and judgment-free environment.

Now is the best time to proactively prepare your child for their digital future and not be caught off-guard and unprepared.
