This program begins at 11:00am PT on 8/19/21.
Using technology for both school and fun can be difficult. We meet Olive from “Digitopolis” who loves to play computer games. She also has homework to do! In this program, Learners help Olive decide how much screen time is appropriate, set timers, stretch and get those wiggles out!
This program is the first in a series but it can also stand alone.
This fun, interactive series explores digital citizenship with a crew of puppet friends. Learners in grades pre-K-4 will get loads of practical tips for digital citizenship as they guide their new puppet friends to solve real-world problems in technology.
