SAME MINDSHIFTS. NEW QUESTIONS. NOW WITH AI BUILT IN🤖.
Are you an educator who teaches digital well-being, digital citizenship, or media literacy? Then you’re in the right place! In just 12 hours, our self-paced professional development (PD) course will transform how you approach students and technology — so you can move from playing defense to leading with confidence. Educators have told us:
They’re tired of constantly policing digital devices in the classroom.
They’re overwhelmed by the ever-changing frameworks, rules, and policies on digital literacy.
They’re struggling to keep pace with evolving technologies like AI and their students’ evolving needs.

That’s why we created From “Referee” to “Coach” — and Other Game-Changing Mindshifts for Teaching Digital Well-being, Digital Citizenship, & Media Literacy — a self-paced course designed for teachers, school counselors, and administrators. With eight enduring mindshifts, this course helps you move beyond tech panic and into empowering action.
