Get all the keys you need for teaching keyboarding and digital citizenship to children who have grown up surrounded by technology. In this recorded edWebinar, learn proven strategies for teaching technology to digital natives. Your students might have grown up with tablets, TVs, and cell phones, but do they know how to be responsible digital citizens? We share strategies for digital skill building that will boost students’ confidence in their abilities, and that can be adapted to suit your classroom’s needs.
