Digital Civics and Citizenship

Casey Davis is an educator with over 20 years of experience working with diverse learners in a variety of settings.He has earned two Master’s degrees, one in education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction and the second in American history.

The world has moved from the information age to the information overload age, and discernment of what is factual versus what is opinion, or outright false information, has become more challenging. Preparing students to navigate this new world presents numerous opportunities and challenges along with a redefinition of what it means to be a digital citizen. In this book, Casey takes on both the philosophical and practical aspects of how educators, librarians, and administrators can better prepare students to thrive in a truly diverse and global digital world.
