While today's students in schools are often labelled digital natives, they frequently lack critical understanding of digital tools and environments. In today's episode, my guests Arabella Chute, Head of Thinking School, and Lella Kirkland, Head of Digital Learning Strategy, both at Notting Hill Prep, discuss how schools can effectively integrate digital literacy with metacognitive skills to create thoughtful, resilient digital citizens who can navigate online spaces safely and purposefully. A big ask, you might think, but join us as we hear about some of those practical steps they've taken and what was their catalyst.
Listen to what they have to say about digital literacy being everyone's responsibility, what are the metacognitive tools and skills our students need, engaging parents as partners for digital safeguarding and Lella and Arabella's vision to integrate digital learning effectively in every classroom.
