 * **Where do you fit digital fluency into the curriculum? **
 * Millbrook - study skills
 * King Low Heywood - life skills class - guidance counselor
 * Don’t want to do stand alone lessons - teach it for 3-4 years but also make it part of professional development so the teachers weave it in
 * At St. David’s online safety is covered in DASH, a health class
 * Common Sense Media has scripts for presenting digital fluency to families. Important to leverage our parents in this conversation
 * Teachers spend time with the framework and identify overlap with their practice
 * Be high profile with success stories around this to help to convince faculty
 * If hosting a parent event, try to get faculty who are parents to attend too
 * Outside speakers can be helpful for lending legitimacy - can highlight for the faculty the kind of world the boys are entering into


 * Doug Belshaw - The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies - book and Ted Talk
 * Digital portfolios - where do they fall within digital literacy? Digication makes good portfolios
 * How do we handle the under 13 year olds having social media accounts?
 * E-mail from administration to parents
 * If academic life is impeded then the school will deal it.
