FTPO 4.3 - Digital Citizenship (is Hard to Say)

Описание: Join Keith Tramper, Katherine Fredrickson, and Sarah Wood for this episode of For the Purpose Of… as they explore what digital citizenship looks like today and share practical strategies and resources for classrooms.

The team reflects on Digital Citizenship Week and emphasizes that responsible technology use should be embedded all year long. They unpack the ISTE digital citizenship competencies — inclusive, informed, engaged, balanced, and alert — and discuss how educators can help students think critically about media, protect their digital footprints, create secure passwords, and maintain healthy screen-time habits.

The conversation also expands into emerging topics like artificial intelligence ethics, AI literacy, bias in training data, and the role of digital citizenship in computer science education. From device-free moments and family media balance to inclusive classroom contracts and accessibility statements, this episode offers thoughtful insights for educators navigating today’s digital world.
