Digital life shapes student wellbeing, learning, and behavior—and educators are on the front lines. This full-day, interactive workshop equips teachers, leaders, counselors, and caregivers to navigate digital challenges with clarity, confidence, and care. Together, we’ll reflect on our own tech habits, separate fact from fiction around gaming, social media, online conflict, “addiction,” and anxiety, and explore what young people are truly experiencing in their always-connected worlds. And because phone bans and policies—no matter how well-designed—can only address a small part of the picture, we’ll look at what students still need from us to truly support their digital wellbeing.

You’ll gain a research-informed understanding of the core pain points students face today—comparison, pressure, and digital drama—while engaging in empathy-building activities that illuminate their digital struggles and strengths. We’ll connect digital citizenship to character education and school values, making it easier to integrate meaningful, calm conversations across classrooms and communities.

You’ll leave with aligned messaging, practical tools, and supportive strategies to help you model and mentor healthier tech habits and promote balanced, resilient digital lives for your students and communities.
