Teaching Digital Kindness: Helping Students Become More Aware and Accountable in Their Online Lives

Digital tools have a clear educational purpose, but how do we help students with the darker corners of the web? This book provides timely, much-needed advice for educators on how to teach students to handle the anger and divisiveness that pervades social media and that is impossible to ignore when using tech for other purposes.

Author Andrew Marcinek provides strategies we can use to help students with issues such as navigating relationships
understanding digital ethics and norms
returning to a balance with screen time
reclaiming conversation
holding yourself accountable
creating a new digital mindset
and more.

Throughout, there are practical features such as Pause and Reflects, Teachable Moments, and classroom activities and lesson plans, so you can easily implement the ideas across content areas and grade levels.
