# Digital Citizenship We all know that digital citizenship education is crucial, especially in these rapidly evolving times of machine learning and artificial intelligence. To keep pace, students need to acquire digital skills, including digital citizenship, which can facilitate participation and maximize opportunities. **At AISB, we believe that digital citizenship education is not just about a long list of *****don'ts*****; it is also about the *****do's***** that help create thoughtful, empathetic digital citizens who can wrestle with the important ethical questions at the intersection of technology and humanity.** We also recognize that these skills cannot be just one-off lessons or a bolt-on programs delivered at a set time of the year. Our ultimate goal is to see the work integrated into the curriculum in all subjects and for all grade levels.

In Elementary, digital citizenship is woven intentionally into the SEL curriculum.

The AISB Social Emotional Learning Plan (internal access only) shows conceptual understandings with learning outcomes for each unit.

Each unit has its own planner, complete with concept acquisition tasks and a wealth of resources. We use the Common Sense Education curriculum as a core resource.

In Secondary, our efforts have been more organic and dependent on ad-hoc needs.

During school year 24/25, we developed a fully integrated Digital Citizenship curriculum with an Advisory Focus Planning Committee comprised of 10 teachers and led by the Digital Learning Coordinator. These lessons now happen systematically via the Advisory Program in Secondary from grades 6 to 12, along with other foci, on a rotation basis.

We use Common Sense Education as a core resource and prioritize our section-wide concepts of:

Social-Emotional Well-Being

Digital Rights and Responsibilities Cyberbullying Prevention and Management & Academic Integrity

We are currently documenting and sharing our units and relevant learning engagements with students and families through Toddle.
