Learning.com and our partner, Common Sense Education, celebrated Computer Science Education Week with our recent webinar, "Digital Citizenship as a Foundation for Computer Science Creators."
Our students have amazing opportunities to be the creators of tomorrow, but their incredible coding skills don't always indicate an understanding of the ethics and responsibilities of being a creator. It is essential that our computer science students have a strong foundation of digital citizenship including an awareness of their own bias, privacy basics, and the social and emotional skills that make them aware of themselves and their community.
Watch this webinar on-demand as our presenters outlined resources and modeled examples of ways to provide our coders with the mindset needed to contribute responsibly to the future.
