The widespread move to online teaching and learning has created unexpected challenges for teachers and students, even those who thought they were familiar with technology and remote learning. In recent years I have witnessed an increasing skills deficit among incoming college students in the areas of communication, critical thinking and social responsibility among others. Learning civic virtues and becoming a good digital citizen will make for a better learning environment and a kinder gentler world. Reading and implementing the strategies discussed in Digital Civics and Citizenship is a first step to that goal. -- Vanessa Hemingway, PhD, professor of sociology, Lonestar College 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. -- Marc D. Marchand, MLS, CPM, director of Neighborhood Services
