By the end of this edWeb podcast, listeners are able to:

• Understand the core principles of digital citizenship and why they matter in today’s classrooms
• Confidently integrate digital citizenship lessons into existing curricula across grade levels
• Use vetted tools and resources to engage students in meaningful digital learning
• Facilitate constructive conversations around online safety, cyberbullying, and misinformation
• Assess student understanding and promote reflective digital behavior
