Meaningful Digital Citizenship in an AI-Influenced World

Students develop digital citizenship skills best when they actively practice them, not just hear about them. This session explores project-based approaches that encourage students to think critically about information, communicate responsibly, create authentically and reflect on their use of technology and AI tools. Through practical classroom examples and adaptable project frameworks, you will examine ways to weave digital citizenship naturally into classroom experiences while preserving student voice, creativity and engagement. You will leave with creative project ideas that inherently teach digital citizenship and AI responsibility, whether as an end-of-unit assessment or a broader exploration. These projects can be tailored to any subject area, and the methods apply to a wide range of digital tools, so they fit any school's technology constraints.
