Description
Book SynopsisRegardless of age and experience, young adults must be mindful of their digital presence in the expanding digital world. This book provides a guide for librarians, educators, counselors, and administrators to guide secondary and higher education students in successfully practicing responsible citizenship and civics in the digital world.
Trade ReviewThe world has moved from the information age to the information overload age, and discernment of what is factual versus what is opinion, or outright false information, has become more challenging. Preparing students to navigate this new world presents numerous opportunities and challenges along with a redefinition of what it means to be a digital citizen. In this book, Casey takes on both the philosophical and practical aspects of how educators, librarians, and administrators can better prepare students to thrive in a truly diverse and global digital world.
