I found the Center for Digital Thriving and it felt like kismet. I’m entering my third year of teaching the course and have found this session invaluable in making sure I have the tools I need to meet my students where they are developmentally and practically.

The content and its presentation in this course was insightful and meaningful. With a secondary-leaning focus, there was still enough that allows educators in a primary context to walk away with nuggets that transfer to a younger age group, their teachers, and their parents. Rooted in research centered around talking to tweens and teens. Highly recommend!

I truly appreciated the way the course materials and content were structured. The organization was clear and well thought out, which made it easier to follow and absorb the key ideas. The videos were particularly effective — direct, engaging, and concise — which made the learning experience both productive and enjoyable.

The content was STELLAR! I enjoyed the varied way the content was delivered—articles, YouTube videos, your own videos, podcasts, and text. The variation was great—but I also liked the predictability in the way the course was designed.
