Description

Ready to transform how your students navigate the digital world? Join TeachersFirst for this dynamic Wednesday Webinar where Harvard's proven Thinking Routines become your secret weapon for building thoughtful digital citizens! We'll show you how powerful combinations like "Step In-Step Out-Step Back" can turn online conflicts into empathy-building moments, and how "The 3 Whys" can help students unpack the real impact of their digital choices. Walk away with hands-on lesson integration strategies, tech tool recommendations that actually work, and grab-and-go templates you can use Monday morning. It's time to move beyond "don't do this online" to "here's how to think critically about this" – your students (and their future selves) will thank you!
 
As a result of this session, attendees will be able to:
  • Bridge Theory and Practice: Articulate the connection between Harvard’s Project Zero Thinking Routines and the core competencies of Digital Citizenship (e.g., empathy, media literacy, and digital agency).
  • Evaluate Conflict through Multiple Lenses: Apply the "Step In-Step Out-Step Back" routine to deconstruct online social dilemmas, fostering student perspective-taking and empathy.
  • Design "Plug-and-Play" Lesson Segments: Adapt existing curriculum to include a Thinking Routine that shifts student behavior from passive consumption to active, critical inquiry.
