Why Students Don't Turn In Work: Understanding the Barriers and Finding Solutions

Teaching Digital Citizenship That Actually Works
Students don't become responsible digital citizens because we tell them to “be safe online.” This course moves beyond passwords and cyberbullying lessons to the challenges students face every day: social media, AI, gaming, group chats, and constant connectivity. Educators explore how technology influences student decision-making, relationships, attention, mental health, privacy, reputation, and academic integrity, and learn how to make digital citizenship a consistent part of classroom culture instead of an occasional lesson.

Who I Am, and Why This Work
I spent twenty-five years teaching middle schoolers. I watched phones go from rare to default. I watched parents and teachers ask me the same questions, over and over, and not get clear answers anywhere.
So I started talking. Small classrooms first, then parent nights, then schools and conferences. The talks aren’t lectures. They’re conversations: real questions about phones, gaming, social platforms, and what to actually do at home and at school. Plain language. No fear talk. No selling anything.
Notes from the Field
The first piece will live here. Short essays for parents and schools on phones, gaming, and the questions I keep being asked. New writing arrives as schools ask the questions worth answering in long form.
Bring Ronna to your School
Every school's situation is different. Tell me about yours and we'll find the talk that fits. No pitch, no script, just a real conversation about what your community is dealing with.
