Gifted students today have access to more information than ever before and are connected in ways that no generation before has ever been. Yet they often do not understand the power they wield in digital environments or how to use information and networks to advance their learning. FutureCasting, a pedagogical roadmap, helps students develop a digital identity that enables them to leverage the power at their fingertips for achievement. The process enables students to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and “professional” goals, and build influence in a global society. Join us as we explore activities that can be implemented in classrooms immediately and help students launch their talents for the ultimate Type III!
