Webinar
Before the Devices Turn On: Building Healthy Habits
Monday, August 31, 2026, 9:00-10:00 am PDT
Your students already know how to use technology. What they need is judgment, empathy, and self-regulation to navigate it safely. The secret to a focused, respectful classroom culture isn’t just teaching tech skills; it’s building core behavioral dispositions and healthy habits before we connect through our devices.
Join Jennifer Ehehalt, Senior Education Manager at Common Sense Media, and Laura Ogando, Tech Integration Specialist at the New York City Public Schools, for an edWebinar designed for K–8 educators who want to set an intentional classroom culture from the very first day of school. We are breaking down an “Offline-to-Online Bridge” framework that anchors digital literacy and well-being in real-world, face-to-face behaviors.
Discover how to introduce skills and dispositions during morning meetings or community circles and watch them seamlessly transfer when the screens go up. You’ll leave with lessons you can use during your first 20 days of school. This edWebinar will be of interest to K–8 teachers, librarians, and school leaders.
