Description

This practical book guides the next generation of digital and AI natives in understanding, questioning, and reshaping technology, equipping them to be responsible digital citizens.

Providing educators, families, and community members with a foundational understanding of digital citizenship within the context of artificial intelligence, Educating Digital Citizens in an AI World focuses on building a digital world that supports young people's growth and well-being. It explores how AI influences children's interactions, identities, and behaviors across various developmental stages and introduces the VOICES Approach (Values, Openness, Inclusivity, Caution, Empathy, Safety) as guiding principles for responsible digital engagement.

Practical tools, curated resources, and age-appropriate strategies empower readers to promote critical thinking, ethical digital practices, and healthy AI habits. Voices from practitioners enrich the discussion, offering actionable insights and activities to foster responsible, inclusive, and thoughtful participation in an AI-driven digital landscape.
