//Overall Premise and Charge:// The use of technology has increased significantly in the last five years. This has caused a dramatic change in the way people communicate and the way students interact with each other. How can we use this change to most positively affect students and their education? Is Cyberbullying or Social Isolation happening in your school? How are Ethical Issues being addressed in your school? Legal Issues?

Districts are encouraged to send five-member teams consisting of administrators, teachers, parents and students. The symposium will offer several break-out sessions for each group with a culminating activity bringing teams back together to discuss, share and develop their own district action plan relating to digital citizenship. Reporters for each group will share out at the end of the conference day.

Watch for more details and registration information coming soon or contact your local ESU for more information. Registrations are limited to the first 25 school teams.
