Teaching for Digital Citizenship: Data Justice in the Classroom and Beyond

The Teaching for Digital Citizenship project community of practice is a collaboration between academic researchers and teaching professionals that aims to enhance the way we prepare young people for digital life. This workshop introduces a framework for digital citizenship education that goes beyond current challenges such as AI, cyber security, social media use, to empower schools to develop their ethos, as sustainable, ethical and just, digital actors.

After a brief presentation on the context of digital citizenship, we invite participants to become co-producers of our benchmark tool, by applying the concepts of digital citizenship to their professional context. This will be led by Jonny Tridgell (DPhil student and PGCE General Tutor, University of Oxford), who has been a member of the community of practice, and by Jeremy Knox (Associate Professor of Digital Education at the University of Oxford) and Bob Davis (Professor of Religious and Cultural Education, University of Glasgow), who are co-leads on the Teaching for Digital Citizenship project (University of Glasgow – Research – Research units A-Z – Education, Language, Policy and Sustainability – Teaching for Digital Citizenship: Digital ethics in the classroom and beyond).

All teachers currently working in UK secondary or further education are welcome, regardless of specialism. Digital citizenship influences everyone, not just computing and citizenship teachers! This includes interns, beginning teachers, experienced teachers and those with leadership responsibilities.
