I keep coming back to one digital citizenship question: “Who made this, and why?” It works for a website, a video, even a screenshot shared in a group chat. Kids don’t need a lecture every time. Sometimes one good question gets them thinking. #DigCit

On the left side, a smiling man named Wes Fryer wears a light blue t-shirt against a scenic backdrop of green, rolling mountains. On the right side, a white-bearded man named Jason Neiffer wears glasses and a blue button-up shirt while enthusiastically raising both arms above his head. Each side displays a blue label with the participant's name alongside a white tag showing their location and website.

On a honeycomb background, multiple pictures capturing the early moments of my digital citizenship journey with the text: This Ignite showcased my previous #DigCit work, as well as life events along the way. Here’s a walk down memory lane with some of the original IMPACTORS who were part of this journey early on. This is a bonus slide that was not shared during the Ignite presentation, but putting this thread together, this slide was added as a walk down memory lane and in gratitude to people who were there from the start on this incredible journey.

Check your privacy settings on a regular basis.

It's like cleaning out your closets or checking the smoke detector batteries each fall/winter & again in the spring/summer.

Make it a habit to check your platforms & apps to protect yourself.

We've become a society of scrollers who consume a lot of media. Learn how to evaluate the accuracy, perspective & validity of digital media.

Develop critical skills for curating info from digital sources.

Does anyone else use Common Sense's "Digital Compass" to talk about your digital footprint? It is being 'retired' in 2025, and our department is looking for a replacement activity to help teach about why your digital footprint is important. Any suggestions? #DigCit

“Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors have been embedded in the ear pads to analyze the electrical signals produced by the neurons in your brain. The Neurable app then processes that data and, through its artificial intelligence, tries to determine when you're focused…”
These headphones can track brainwaves to measure your focus levels — here's what they're like to use
Made in partnership between Master & Dynamic and Neurable, the MW75 Neuro headphones use EEG sensors and AI tech to measure your concentration.
