NC BOLD West 2026 Day 1 McDowell High School

Digital literacy and digital citizenship are required in North Carolina schools but responsibility for this work is often fragmented across roles. Librarians, digital learning coaches, technology leaders, and administrators all play a part, yet systems, policies, and instruction don’t always align. Let’s explore how digital literacy lives at the intersection of instruction, policy, and technology systems. We will unpack what NC requires, how infrastructure shapes access, and how instruction brings it to life for students. Through real-world scenarios and role-based discussions, participants will gain practical strategies and a clearer understanding of how to support digital literacy collaboratively across roles.
