Today in Court! ⚖️
Our students took part in an exciting mock trial, where they explored the important issues of digital citizenship and online behavior. They worked hard as attorneys, witnesses, and jurors, presenting their case and learning valuable skills in critical thinking, public speaking, and teamwork. The case involved the creation of a fake social media profile, and students delved deep into the emotional and social impacts of online actions.
A big thank you to all our students for their dedication and participation today! 👩⚖️👨⚖️ #MockTrial #DigitalCitizenship #StudentJustice
