College digital well-being training with representatives from the University of Virginia, James Madison, University of Lynchburg, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest University.
Ursula Franklin Academy
Toronto District School Board
Grade 10 Digital Wellness Module, Parent and Teen Talk, and Unplugged Week
JOMO partnered with UFA teachers to create and deliver an integrated digital wellness module focused on student goal setting, parent and teen literacy, and action. Our in-class digital alignment exercises empowered grade 10 students to make online choices in support of their long-term ambitions.
Dr. Ursula Franklin, Ursula Franklin Academy’s namesake, valued pacifism, social justice activism, and the importance of looking critically at how we use technology. UFA’s five school values of social justice, democracy, connected knowledge, spirit of inquiry and a community of learners guide them in creating a community where students can integrate their learning, take risks, continue to develop confidence and resilience, and, in the words of Dr, Franklin herself, go on to live lives that are “personally happy and publicly useful.”
