#16 Navigating Politics and Fostering Shared Values in Digital Citizenship with Carrie Rogers-Whitehead
Manage episode 379289949 series 3456102
This episode features Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, founder of Digital Respons-Ability. Carrie, Seth (the president of an edtech company), and Lauren (a tech integration specialist) discuss mindful approaches to teaching digital citizenship. Carrie explains how a mindless approach would focus solely on the technical aspects without considering the emotional impact, whereas a mindful approach balances technical skills with emotional intelligence and the identification of the root of any given behavior. She also highlights risk and protective factors that lead to positive or negative online behaviors. Sleep, screen time balance, definitions, transparency, and communication skills are key themes. Her framework for managing screen time involves modeling healthy use, setting boundaries, explaining rationales, and offering engaging alternatives. By building community and teaching responsibility, Carrie aims to spread compassion through digital citizenship. Carrie emphasizes the need for shared definitions and standards within the field and the importance of peeking under the hood of how technology works (especially social media). She addresses navigating political challenges by focusing on shared values and avoiding polarization.
