Digital Explorers: Engaging Strategies to Teach Digital Wellness in the Classroom

Teaching digital citizenship doesn’t have to feel like another item on the checklist—it can be fun, memorable, and truly meaningful. In this engaging session, educators will explore practical and creative ways to introduce digital wellness concepts to students in grades K-6. Using humor, storytelling, and real-life classroom scenarios, we’ll dive into how to help students become responsible, respectful, and curious users of technology. Inspired by the themes of friendship, learning through mistakes, and digital discovery in the children’s book Digital Explorers, this session brings those same messages into real classroom practice. Whether it’s learning to pause before posting or exploring how to stay safe while staying creative, educators will leave with tools to help students navigate technology with heart and purpose.
