A shout-out to La Paz Middle School's Natalie Bernasconi

Who is in Redmond, Wash., as we speak, showcasing the work she's been doing on "digital citizenship," at the Microsoft Partners in Learning 2012 US Forum.

A self-described techno-geek, Bernasconi has been developing a curriculum to create "digital citizens," that is, students who are conscious of their presence in the cyberworld: how to avoid cyberbullies and not to be one, what to post and not to post, etc. It's a project where teachers and students are invited to participate, and you can find it here.

Bernasconi and her project partner Gail Desler of Elk Grove USD were invited to participate in the national conference after presenting the project at the Silicon Valley Education Foundation ShiftEd forum in March. If selected, Bernasconi and Desler would go to the world wide conference in Greece. So good luck, Ms. Bernasconi! We're rooting for you!
