    Power Up Learning - Digital Responsibility

    Today's students are adept with technology, but mastering the digital world demands skills that aren't acquired naturally. Concepts like digital responsibility require guidance. All students need to discern between credible and false information online, know how to address cyberbullying, and safeguard their personal data.

    Schools are relying on technology more and more, educators play a crucial role in teaching these skills. However, teachers often face overwhelming demands, making it challenging to prioritize digital literacy alongside core curriculum. As a parent, you can support these efforts by initiating conversations with your kids and teachers. This year Pinellas County Schools will introduce initiatives and recommend resources like Common Sense Education's K–12 Digital Responsibility Curriculum, which offers comprehensive lessons and engaging materials. We will have ready-made lessons and engaging videos on a range of key topics. 

    Powering up learning in Pinellas County Schools involves innovative learning experiences for all students. Implementing a combination of our strategic priorities and objectives aimed at enhancing educational outcomes and student engagement. Here are several ways to achieve this: 

     

    1. Technology Integration: Integrating technology effectively into classrooms to enhance learning experiences, foster digital literacy, and provide personalized learning opportunities.  
    2. Curriculum Enhancement: Developing and implementing a rigorous and fun, well-rounded curriculum that aligns with educational standards and meets the diverse needs of students. 
    3. Supporting Student Well-being with Digital Responsibility: Implementing programs and initiatives that support the social, emotional, and mental well-being of students, creating a positive and conducive learning environment that helps eliminate distractions.
