Digital Citizenship Symposium


💻 Digital Citizenship Symposium at ESU 8 

On Tuesday, October 6, six of our students had the opportunity to attend the Digital Citizenship Symposium at ESU 8, where they spent the day learning more about what it means to be a responsible and thoughtful user of technology.

Throughout the day, students explored important topics including taking “tech timeouts,” the proper and responsible use of AI, accessibility, copyright, and how algorithms influence what we see online.

To wrap up the day, our students worked together to create a presentation summarizing what they learned and sharing an important message: Technology is an amazing tool, but using it responsibly—and knowing when to step away from it—is just as important. 📱➡️🌎

We are proud of the great work and thoughtful conversations from Payton, Harper, Eli, Harper, Charles, and Hannah! Thank you to ESU 8 for providing our students with this valuable learning opportunity!

Use technology as a tool—not a habit. Connect. Create. Learn. And don’t forget to unplug! 💙💻📵
