Developing Digital Citizens This course equips educators with the practical skills needed in today’s technology-driven classrooms. Teachers have been faced with years of initiative fatigue with one-to-one devices, LMS adoptions, blended learning models, pandemic teaching (oh my), SEL, and now AI. Many may feel as though there is always one more thing to learn. The message is clear – you may be tired and overwhelmed by the pace of change within your district, your school site, your classroom. This course tries to address how to reframe our discussion. Moving beyond the old view of the digital divide as merely a broadband shortage, you shall investigate the evolving digital divide, funding cliffs, and the emerging AI equity gap using current metrics. You will read about the load fatigue that teachers, staff, and students feel as well. More importantly, this course should help you reframe your discussion around digital preparedness inside schools, at home, and in the workplace.
