How we can leverage technology and innovation to improve educational outcomes, but also how to keep students safe and thriving in a fast-paced digital world, are overwhelming and sometimes seemingly contradictory concerns. As the pace picks up, it’s hard to keep up with the latest information and cutting-edge research to help us make informed decisions. Morva McDonald speaks with Yvette Renteria of Common Sense Media about how her team is helping educators and parents stay on top of everything they need to know.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest: Yvette Renteria</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.nais.org/resource-center/nais-podcasts/new-view-edu/episode-90-the-future-of-digital-literacy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>Resources, Transcript, and Expanded Show Notes</em></strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>“Something that I grapple with as somebody who's been an educator, like none of the adults, at least now– it will soon shift– have experienced this educational world that our kids do. Like the idea of getting to school, getting on the computer, getting online, doing some work and then, you know, pen to paper as well. And just kind of the mix of that day. And so, I mean, shout out to educators who are navigating this new space of how to teach.” (8:25)</strong></li><li><strong>“One is like, this is our world. So we often say their digital life, or their digital world. And we often hear students and kids in this conversation be like, no, this is our life. Like we don't see a separation between digital life and real life. The second thing we often hear is, things are being done to us…when quite frankly, they might know more than what those policymakers or those decision makers are doing to them. So there's like a little bit of a frustration or like, leave me alone.” (14:22)</strong></li><li><strong>“I sit in these focus groups and I listen to students, like I said, I'm so optimistic. They know, I think about this, I'm like, as a seventh grader myself, even my former seventh graders, the way they articulate this world is beautiful, to be honest with you. I just, I really do believe that our students, our kids will be okay. They're gonna, because they are...forming their thoughts and their opinions, and they are utilizing strategies, and they are trying things. And I do, they're even highlighting the risks and the concerns with their own mental wellness. They're downloading the apps that keep them offline. They're doing the things. And so that makes me hopeful.” (31:31)</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Related Episodes</strong><a href=\"https://www.nais.org/learn/nais-podcasts/new-view-edu/episode-28-supporting-healthy-habits-for-students-in-a-digital-world/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></a></p><ul><li>Episode <a href=\"https://bit.ly/4qymoRh\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">81</a>; <a href=\"https://bit.ly/44WwROb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">71</a>; <a href=\"https://bit.ly/4jCyDZv\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">70</a>; <a href=\"https://bit.ly/47lFOPj\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">47</a>; <a href=\"https://bit.ly/3E52kPT\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">31</a></li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"National Association of Independent Schools"}
