From our Classroom to Yours

False and harmful content is increasing in almost all online spaces. Kids are growing up with the internet as a part of their daily lives, and need to be prepared with essential skills to navigate their always-online world. 

DUCC is different from traditional digital citizenship programs - we focus on kids at a critical stage in development and when they are first emerging into the online world: in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Technology is evolving at rapid speeds, so rather than teaching the specifics of current online platforms that will quickly become outdated, we teach foundational critical comprehension skills that apply to current and future digital spaces. 

Kids will inevitably be exposed to a range of perspectives but it’s also important for kids to understand that not everything they see is true, trustworthy, or reliable. DUCC’s emphasis on critical comprehension skills enables young people to understand all sides of an issue and fact-check before they come to their own informed conclusion.

DUCC focuses on critical thinking skills such as using logical reasoning, identifying reliable information, how beliefs are formed, recognizing persuasion tactics, understanding AI, algorithms and more. Teaching these skills at a young age will help reduce the risk kids face in engaging with harmful content when they inevitably encounter it as they grow up.
