Students may be comfortable using devices, but one job facing us as educators is to help them learn to use that technology well. This session will present a comprehensive overview and practical resources for teaching effective and ethical online research, maintaining a positive digital footprint and working with families to create safe technology use habits at school and home. Participants will work in groups to create effective flowcharts reflecting the research process across grades and curricula. Several elements of the personal EdTech coach playbook will be created by each attendee, including an original research journal template, website evaluation tool, student technology contract and self-assessment tool for students regarding their digital citizenship. Each element of the playbook may be a document, interactive, site, or hands-on activity for student use.
