My Life Online
Top Youth Speakers

Students today are the first generation to grow up with text messaging in their pocket, and social media at their fingertips.

 

“8 to 18-year-olds spend an average of  7.5 hours in front of a screen each day.”

—The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

 

“Some 13-year-olds admit to checking social media 100 times per day.”

—CNN

 

We believe students need a guide to greet them at the front door of the internet and empower them with a clear set of values, principles, and social skills to guide their lives online. Our digital citizenship curriculum and live presentations provide mentorship and guidance for students to thrive in today’s digital world.

Online Courses

We provide timely and relevant support to educators in their journey to meet the ever-increasing demands of teaching and leading through a variety of synchronous and asynchronous online workshops. All offerings provide participants with research-based, relevant resources and help address the critical issues facing educators today. 

 

Through these opportunities, educators are empowered to make immediate and long-lasting changes in their professional practice to help increase student achievement while also meeting their social and emotional needs.

 

Administrator Academies

By statute, every administrator must complete a minimum of one approved academy annually and a minimum of five in each administrator certificate renewal period. 

 

The Illinois Online Academy provides a range of online academies that meet this criteria while providing research-based strategies to help you on you journey. Topics range from combatting educator burnout, meeting and presentation tips, restorative practices, and more.
