I admit, I didn’t know what to expect with this new type of “digital citizen” workshop for Elementary and High School. I was quite surprised, in a good way, by the way the children welcomed the workshop. They appreciated it very much and are asking for a continuation, whereas Montessori children are not easy. They only obey if the content interests them. Having a questionnaire before the workshop and another one after is also a good way to stimulate their curiosity and to ensure a follow-up of their learning.
As for the parents’ workshop, several thanked me. One of the parents even produced a report for distribution to the absent parents. One parent found the beginning too general, but it seems to me that it would be good to make parents understand the issues and then let them guide them, according to their preferences, in the healthy use of playful digital tools at home, just as they decide which books or films their children access.

Very useful conference! Caroline allowed us to better understand the digital environment in which we live, and to decode its strengths and weaknesses:
– how to consume digital in a healthy way: without over-consuming or banning it out of ignorance.
– how to make parents and teenagers aware of how to surf safely and ethically on social networks.
