What is School? Digital Citizenship SPECIAL

This week I am excited to host a special Digital Citizenship edition of #whatisschool in celebration of the #digcitsummitUK being announced.

This week I am joined by the amazing Marialice Curran, Digital Citizenship Maven and Co-founder of #digcitsummit and #digcit, and the incredible Julie Szaj, who is an educator, Google Ed Trainer & co-founder of #NT2T

It is such an honour to have both Marialice and Julie join us this week to celebrate and launch #digcitsummitUK

Safe. Ethical. Savvy. The tagline of what Digital Citizenship is all about. Digital citizenship is part of our life now, the digital world is no longer a toy, it is a part of everyday life for almost every student in our schools. As connected educators, we need to join together to create a united force to help educate and empower our learners to be positive digital citizens. This learning starts now with #digcitsummitUK.

This week #whatisschool dives into everything Digital Citizenship and pairs up with #digcit leaders to learn more about what the recently announced #digcitsummitUK is all about.

Visit www.digcitsummit.com for more and join us this week as #whatisschool discusses the power of digital citizenship in the globally connected world we live in.
