“Students are increasingly getting most of their information online, increasingly using social media and technology connect to and make sense of the world. How do we teach students to do this responsibly? How do we train young people to use technology and search and communicate online with a critical eye? This workshop offers practical and easy-to-teach strategies for helping young people develop 21st century critical thinking skills.

In this workshop participants will explore:

* Techniques for ensuring students develop
effective online search skills and avoid plagiarism
* Engaging games for teaching students to take a
responsible approach to their online activities
* Road tested lesson plans for critically
investigating smart phone use, instant messaging
and SMS practices and the nature of online gaming
* A wide array of informative and easy to use online
resources that teachers can use in the development
of highly engaging classes
* Activities for critically examining the way websites
shape and sometimes manipulate the thinking of
their viewer
