In this activity, we will look back to technologies that came before the smartphone to answer the question: Are new technologies better than older versions? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/62dbe02f-9443-4854-832b-759141077b4e/MediaEducationInfographic.png Curriculum - Which media literacy approach should you use in your class? We say all of the above. Check out our “Mapping the Media Education Terrain” curriculum and “Choose Your Own Media Education Adventure” task to offer a more well-rounded media education for your students. Created by Marie Heath, Dan Krutka, and Cathryn van Kessel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1392bf92-c494-4e4a-a0eb-a4ba313c9cfa/Screen+Shot+2022-04-20+at+4.31.17+PM.png Curriculum - Digital citizenship curriculum should confront injustices in our world, not just teach reputation management. On this page, Charles Logan, Amy Chapman, Dan Krutka, and Swati Mehta created a lesson building on the work of Dr. Sepehr Vakil and the Young People's Race, Power, and Technology (YPRPT) Project to share two youth-produced documentaries that can help students and teachers move from a curriculum of digital citizenship to critical digital citizenship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/df2fccb9-b5e7-4c67-8661-57b0d2300d1b/Screen+Shot+2022-05-30+at+12.18.33+PM.png Curriculum - These 3-5 day IDM lessons spur students to debate a compelling question, examine sources, and take informed action to address social problems concerning technology. Our IDMs pose the following compelling questions: What story should we tell about electric lights? Should we be more like the Luddites? Whose interests do “teaching machines” serve? Who is responsible for discriminatory design? Are “smart” technologies worth the cost? Does new media provide more “real news”? https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-02 https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/dankrutka daily 0.75 2025-10-02

Krutka - Keywords in the Social Studies book Dan co-edited the 2018 book, Keywords in the Social Studies: Concepts and Conversations, as part of the Counterpoints: Studies in Criticality series. Leading scholars in the social studies education unsettle words commonly used in social studies education in ways that will redefine the field for years to come. The book is timely and essential reading for graduate students and faculty in social studies education and curriculum studies; students and teacher candidates in undergraduate and graduate education courses; and practitioners teaching in schools, museums, and other spaces of learning. Dan co-authored “Introduction: Unsettling the Social Studies” and solo authored the “Technology.” Purchase the book or view it here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/7a7fdc68-8759-4ef5-b4b0-3946aacaf1e7/VisionsOfEdAd.png Dan Krutka - Visions of Education podcast Since 2016, Dan has co-hosted the Visions of Education podcast with high school social studies teacher Michael Milton. The podcast partners with the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the prestigious Theory & Research in Social Education (TRSE) journal to feature the leading scholars and educators in social studies. The podcast has over a quarter million listens across the 175 episodes with more being produced and released frequently.

Spur Dystopian Imaginings New technologies are introduced into people’s lives today at a rate unprecedented in human history. The benefits of technologies and the onslaught of corporate messaging can result in a pervasive techno-optimism that leaves people unaware of the downsides or collateral effects of technologies until harms are already done. With the show Black Mirror as muse, we propose two activities educators can employ to engage students’ technoskeptical imaginings. The first is a MadLib activity that employs play as a means to creatively speculate about technologies. The second is a fill-in-the-blank creative writing activity that builds on the MadLib activity while providing students more flexibility in crafting their own dystopian stories. Teachers and students should recognize that while this may be an imagined dystopia for some groups, it can be closer to the existing lived realities of other groups. We hope this approach and these activities can work toward protecting those who are most vulnerable to the harms of technologies.

Identify EdTech Teachers must regularly make decisions about which technologies to use in their classrooms. New technologies can include a wide range of tools from classroom management systems to screen reader technologies to interactive quiz apps. Educators may rely on recommendations from colleagues or their own trial and error, but on this page we turn to websites that offer reviews of educational technologies. None of these sites’ recommendations are full proof and educators should always be wary of conflicts of interest. However, these sites can offer starting points to find new technologies, read reviews, and make decisions for your classroom or district. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/09847c30-917d-4611-ab20-05d6bfa58595/3.png TechnoethicalIntegration - 3. Conduct EdTech Audit Making ethical decisions about technologies, or technoethical decisions, can be challenging because there are an array of possible questions, concerns, and issues. We draw on three different approaches developed by contributors to our Civics of Technology project to help ask the types of critical questions necessary to avoid harm to those in our classrooms, communities, and world. The three approaches include (a) conducting a technoethical audit, (b) conducting a discriminatory design audit, and (c) asking our 5 critical questions about technology. We hope that the earlier dystopian imagining activities will spur students to think critically about the technology they audit. Ultimately, students and educators should draw conclusions about ethical issues and make decisions about whether to use a technology as is, modify settings or uses of a technology, or not use a technology. They then may take informed action to encourage other classrooms, districts, or communities to use, modify, or exclude particular technologies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/0214283d-a81d-4982-8c86-3f17af333161/4.png TechnoethicalIntegration - 4. Choose Integration Approach Finally, the fourth step of this process is to identify and use a technology integration approach in your classroom or district. There are a number of models that exist and we include four here: PICRAT, TPACK, RAT, and SAMR. We link to an article describing each model and a short video which explains the approach. Each model has different benefits and drawbacks. Educators should evaluate each and choose one that they believe they could regularly turn to in order to make wise pedagogical decisions about their integration of technology into classes. We find the PICRAT article particularly helpful, as it offers an example of possible arguments for and against different approaches that can help educators critically make their own decisions. https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/dystopianimaginations daily 0.75 2022-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/72033678-24a3-4553-95c4-c00c5f72667b/1.png DystopianImaginings - 1.

Studnents should fill in the dystopian story with missing details. However, instead of missing grammatical items, students will fill in blanks with the specifics of a company or technology, as well as the functions of the technology. This activity can be delivered during a synchronous instructional session when the blanks could be crowdsourced from students. If teachers prefer to use an editabloe Google doc to a site like the shinyapps.io site linked below, then the instructor should plan for activities in which students can participate for a few minutes while a facilitator plugs the crowdsourced elements into the dystopian story, accounting for verb tense and grammatical flow, and then reads the story aloud to students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/3ad8d51f-d54c-4fc2-8081-9a2d21254cd6/Screen+Shot+2022-03-09+at+11.02.57+PM.png DystopianImaginings - Fill-in-the-Blank Creative Writing Activity To get createive writing started, fill-in-the-blanks of this phrasal template. Each individiual or group edits their own Google doc. Unlike the MadLibs activity, students can see the entire frame of the story. Elements of the story are missing such as the “name of technology/company” and “group with power/group without power.” We recommend students be creative… even if they stray from the prompts! Students might compare their final stories against the an edtech audit to conclude. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/ead59599-78d3-443f-b50c-4670d85fb49c/Screen+Shot+2022-03-09+at+10.53.45+PM.png DystopianImaginings - Krutka, D.

Other chapters address: “Evaluating the Use Experience” “Evaluating the User Experience” “Evaluating the Learning Experience” “Evaluating Cost, Privacy, and Data” “Evaluating Accessibility” “Teaching with Digital Tools and Apps” This easy-to-read and regularly updated ebook would be an excellent resource for any edtech course, school, or district seeking to make wise decisions about their use of digital technologies. https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/edtechaudit daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1647921538366-7O7LWK54M9GS7WRWT8P5/Dont+be+evil.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1647922021586-POW2AHT5UUJBFAT8ZI1Y/Google+Classroom.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1647922743900-13Q8T76OL4DVFVOIWJG2/technoethics.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1648004891947-4PJ9CO3IUQ0T27EI85R2/Screen+Shot+2022-03-22+at+10.07.38+PM.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/31d72e8c-1f1c-468d-910a-772cde1e8856/codedbias.jpeg Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/7f1e7a9d-48ff-47c2-8b6d-28abeb63242b/UnmaskingAI.jpg Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1680905323255-H4L511V7MAAUUQXU9DF5/CivicsOfTech+%283%29.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1708274343387-TNW8LVFE983Y7QKDEQNU/CivicsOfTech%2828%29.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1413fa07-bf3c-4d41-80a8-774335cb3001/Screenshot+2026-01-16+at+1.46.54%E2%80%AFPM.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1951539f-cc3c-48d4-a3d5-57faa0dd8732/Screenshot+2026-01-16+at+1.53.31%E2%80%AFPM.png Tech Audit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/886762e7-e306-4388-a65e-d407838b128b/CivicsOfTech+%283%29.png Tech Audit - Conduct Technology Audits Making decisions about educational technologies is not a neutral or purely technical task. Technologies shape classroom practices, student relationships, and forms of participation, often in ways that are opaque to educators and students alike. Conducting an edtech audit provides a structured way to surface the ethical dimensions of these tools, including their collateral, unintended, and disproportionate effects on learners, communities, and democratic life. Drawing on four analytic approaches developed through the Civics of Technology project, educators and students can ask disciplined, critical questions that move beyond whether a tool “works” to whether it aligns with their educational values and responsibilities. An audit supports informed judgment about whether to adopt a technology as designed, modify its settings or uses, or reject it altogether. Importantly, this process also positions teachers and students as civic actors who can advocate for more responsible technology practices within classrooms, schools, districts, and communities. https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/integrationapproach daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1646284736866-6YVUMG23X2LKBFQOFG4H/Screen+Shot+2022-03-02+at+11.02.51+PM.png IntegrationApproach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1646284925397-8V67E6NW8F7OEIMVVMWW/TPACK-new.png IntegrationApproach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1646284998919-0Q7W2E0F370B9F9O684D/Screen+Shot+2022-03-02+at+11.04.09+PM.png IntegrationApproach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1646285654415-OVQGSX07UM9ZT86A8V5I/SAMR.png IntegrationApproach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/0214283d-a81d-4982-8c86-3f17af333161/4.png IntegrationApproach - 4. Choose Integration Approach Finally, the fourth step of this process is to identify and use a technology integration approach in your classroom or district. There are a number of models that exist and we include four here: PICRAT, TPACK, RAT, and SAMR. We link to an article describing each model and a short video which explains the approach. Each model has different benefits and drawbacks. Educators should evaluate each and choose one that they believe they could regularly turn to in order to make wise pedagogical decisions about their integration of technology into classes. We find the PICRAT article particularly helpful, as it offers an example of possible arguments for and against different approaches that can help educators critically make their own decisions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/a8a6eaf4-7e83-4e72-abd5-31816b6558e9/Screen+Shot+2022-03-10+at+12.32.28+AM.png IntegrationApproach - Background reading There have been a lot of articles written about technology integration models, particularly TPACK. We like the the PICRAT model for its simplicity. PICRAT challenges teachers to think about technology integration along two axes: the teacher’s use and the students’ relationship to the technology. The students’ relationship axis asks educators to consider if the student’s role is passive, interactive, or creative. The teacher’s use axis asks one to consider if the technology’s use replaces, amplifies, or transforms what would have been done without the technology. This matrix invites one to consider whether it is effective to bring the technology into the classroom, assuming that activities that fall into the upper-right of the matrix are more effective and impactful. The authors of the article offer their critiques of other models and an argument for theirs. Not everyone will agree with their conclusions, but we believe this article is a good background reading to learn about some of the technology integration approach debates. Kimmons, R., Graham, C.

In this approach, “media literacy” or “civic online reasoning” address the problem of misinformation, propaganda, or misleading information by asking students to critically think about who is providing the information in posts, videos, or stories, and whether that information is trustworthy. However, our responses to media content, particularly television or social media, are not always rational. Analyzing media content does not always account for how people view media content through their prior beliefs, experiences, and feelings. It also does not recognize how people experience different types of media such as print or video news differently even if the content is similar. People’s responses to media from certain sources can be unconscious, especially in a fast-paced media environment of media-rich videos, social media feeds, and hyperlinked websites that people must navigate today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/a0140c58-cc04-48ab-9c7d-602271ded06f/Screen+Shot+2022-03-26+at+7.52.28+PM.png Media Education - Resources The National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) aims for a media literacy that “empowers people to be critical thinkers and makers, effective communicators, and active citizens.” They focus on teaching students “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and act using all forms of communication” (see NAMLE’s definition, principles, and questions for more). While NAMLE primarily encourages people to think about sources, they also touch on other media education approaches such as reflect on feelings and identify power. The Stanford History Education Group’s (SHEG) “civic online reasoning” curriculum focuses on teaching “students to evaluate online information that affects them, their communities, and the world.” This curriculum includes three questions: Who’s behind the information? What’s the evidence? What do other sources say? They also offer lessons where students analyze the credibility of posts from sources such as Wikipedia or Twitter, and apply strategies such as lateral reading that encourage students to leave a website to investigate a source. They even partnered with Crash Course to create 10-video course on “Navigating Digital Information.” Investigate the curriculum and resources from each of these organizations to encourage your students to think about sources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/4eeba8c0-8913-4ca1-9423-9fc7a003efb3/sift-infographic.png Media Education - Explanation A respond to posts approach to media education offers an approach that helps students make quick decisions about what media to consume or share. This approach addresses the problem of decision-making about credibility in a fast-paced media environment of social media feeds, hyperlinked websites, and YouTube videos. Analyzing all sources for their credibility can be unrealistic with so much content and backfire if students end up spending lots of time with misinformation. A respond to posts approach encourages quick decision-making about what content to ignore. However, this approach “is designed for casual news consumers, not experts or those attempting to do deep research” (Warzel, 2021). It also requires people to show restraint that can be difficult to sustain in a media environment filled with content to play on people’s emotions. This approach may not sufficiently address people’s personal feelings, sensory differences in media, or the influence of media power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/4237b4e1-9e3b-412a-9be4-82175ba82997/Screen+Shot+2022-03-26+at+7.58.22+PM.png Media Education - Resources Michael Caulfield of Washington State University Vancouver developed four SIFT moves that students can use when looking at a source: Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, and Trace claims, quotes and media to the original context. This approach is intended to help people make quick decisions when faced with unfamiliar sources and content so they can avoid spending time with misinformation and turn attention to credible information. Read Michael’s blog post, this 2021 New York Times feature, or complete this SIFT starter course to encourage your students to respond to posts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/3b504ea9-7cc0-48ce-bb28-75464d2ed354/1.png Media Education - Explanation A reflect on feelings approach to media education encourages students to focus on how their prior beliefs, feelings, and worldviews affect the ways they view, or deflect, media content. This approach recognizes that emotions and unconscious biases can prevent people from engaging with evidence that contradicts their beliefs, lead them to justify their previously held assessments of what makes evidence valid, and lead them to deflect information that challenges their opinions and beliefs. For example, stories shared by friends with similar belief systems or politicians we support can be viewed differently than stories from people with whom we often disagree or politicians we dislike. While this emotionally-informed approach can help students reflect on how their feelings affect media, it should be combined with approaches aimed at analyzing information and determining whether sources are credible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/7c4d888b-d8d4-47b8-88f8-9365045a1e30/1.png Media Education - Resources A psychosocial approach to media education addresses both how our minds (psycho-) and society (-social) interact with and affect media experiences. Cathryn van Kessel created an explanation of psycho-social approaches for our Civics of Technology project and included strategies students can use before, immediately before, and after engagements with media to reflect on feelings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/cf77d455-49d9-47e7-9dd0-6f59b2e01bb1/CivicsOfTech.png Media Education - Explanation An observe the media approach to media education encourages students to focus on the medium, or channel, through which information is conveyed. This approach addresses the problem that people do not recognize how the type of media may be more important than than the content. In other words, media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out that “the medium is the message.” This means that people who write a book or newspaper article will convey a different message than a professionally produced news broadcast or amateur YouTube video. This approach recognizes that the dominant mediums in society—whether oral storytelling, books or newspapers, or television and social media—significantly shift the meaning of concepts such as community, politics, democracy. However, this approach largely ignores how messages or narratives sway public opinion on important issues that affect people’s lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/7c598583-78b3-46ff-8c0a-46f147d73ef0/CivicsOfTech.png Media Education - Resources Media theorist Marshall McLuhan offered figure/ground analysis as a way to study the medium. In this approach, the things we pay attention to are the figure, and the things we tend to ignore are part of the ground. You can find these terms explored in art and design, as artists play with how to place certain elements in the foreground and others in the background. McLuhan and other media ecologists wrote about media environments, and explored how media technologies (which to him was everything from radio and TV to air conditioning and automobiles) create a ground that we often ignore as we pay attention to media messages. Michelle Ciccone created an explanation of Figure/Ground analysis for our Civics of Technology project and our contributors have added activities you can try in your class to observe the media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/6e9689f2-191c-4685-8489-c736925583a1/Screen+Shot+2022-03-26+at+8.38.20+PM.png Media Education - Explanation An identify power approach to media education encourages students to critically examine the power media has in reproducing and shaping culture and society through representations, beliefs, and systems. This approach confronts the problem of how multinational corporations profit from the use media to maintain or gain power over beliefs, representations, and policies. This approach focuses on “who has power to create particular ways we see, know and understand the world, ourselves, and others.” Students should question “representations of class, gender, race, sexuality and other forms of identity,” and challenge “media messages that reproduce oppression and discrimination,” and celebrate “positive representations and beneficial aspects of media.” This approach recognizes that media messages are constructed and include values and points of view, interpreted or experienced differently by different people or groups, and often created for profit or power (Kellner & Share, 2005). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/b9218fee-f14d-4797-8987-d573341f27b0/Screen+Shot+2022-03-26+at+8.41.00+PM.png Media Education - Resources The Critical Media Project offers an example of the identify power approach to media education. Their curriculum includes “a range of curated playlists that can be used for individual lessons or extended over an entire unit” that “cover each of the main identity categories (e.g. gender, race & ethnicity, class, sexuality, religion, age, disability) on the site as well as other focused topics that may be germane to school curriculum (e.g. immigration, bullying & self-esteem).” They also have do it yourself (DIY) activities such as an identity collage that can be “used to elicit class discussion and critical thinking” and help students identify power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/2f87e99e-48c3-40cf-8b90-61237e2228a6/MediaEducationInfographic.png Media Education - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/f102dad9-40de-424c-891f-f65bd4824fcf/ParodyProtesterTweet091321.png https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/pyschosocialapproach daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/b9671874-e8c5-4717-ae58-0f1cf884342b/1.png PyschoSocial Approach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/figureground daily 0.75 2025-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/c37a94f3-4025-4ac5-a6e2-8a6ee856c4dc/Young_Lady_Old_Woman_Illusion.jpg FigureGroundAnalysis - Viewers are tasked with counting how many times the people wearing white t-shirts pass the ball to each other. But while you pay attention to the ball, you likely miss the person in a gorilla costume walking through the scene. Everyday, every moment, we must ignore some details as we focus on others. Or maybe you remember seeing the black and white drawing that, seen one way, looks like an elegant young woman glancing over her right shoulder, but seen another way looks like an old woman in profile looking down. One way to explain this phenomenon is through the terms figure and ground. The things we pay attention to are the figure, and the things we tend to ignore are part of the ground. You can find these terms explored in art and design, as artists play with how to place certain elements in the foreground and others in the background.

For example, “to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.. . . But such prejudices are not always apparent at the start of a technology's journey, which is why no one can safely conspire to be a winner in technological change. Who would have imagined, for example, whose interests and what world-view would be ultimately advanced by the invention of the mechanical clock? The clock had its origin in the Benedictine monasteries of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries [see image to the right]. The impetus [motivation] behind the invention was to provide a more or less precise regularity to the routines of the monasteries, which required, among other things, seven periods of devotion during the course of the day. The bells of the monastery were to be rung to signal the canonical [according to the bible] hours; the mechanical clock was the technology that could provide precision to these rituals of devotion. And indeed it did. But what the monks did not foresee [predict] was that the clock is a means not merely of keeping track of the hours but also of synchronizing and controlling the actions of men. And thus, by the middle of the fourteenth century, the clock had moved outside the walls of the monastery, and brought a new and precise regularity to the life of the workman and the merchant. "The mechanical clock," as Lewis Mumford wrote, "made possible the idea of regular production, regular working hours and a standardized product." In short, without the clock, capitalism would have been quite impossible. The paradox, the surprise, and the wonder are that the clock was invented by men who wanted to devote themselves more rigorously to God; it ended as the technology of greatest use to men who wished to devote themselves to the accumulation of money.” (Postman, 1992, pp. 14-15) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/d47bd0ca-6c35-4e56-85ef-4329fb2f42b9/amazon+clock.jpg Clocks - Make it stand out While this article is in Jacobin, a left-leaning publication, it provides a useful comparison between tactics Amazon uses to monitor employee productivity with tactics from over 100 years ago.

Of course, curriculums that teach individual responsibility in digital realms are important… However, lessons that focus primarily on such matters of safety and appropriateness do little to prepare students to practice strong versions of democracy by taking on active roles in governance. So how can educators prepare students for different kinds of citizenship in digital spaces?” (Krutka & Carpenter, 2017, p. 52). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/c7d6eec7-4ed0-48ec-921f-08c08e8a5ce8/yprpt21.png Critical Digital Citizenship - The Young People's Race, Power, and Technology (YPRPT) project is an out-of-school initiative that uses a research-based curriculum to empower high school-aged youth, mostly from historically marginalized groups, to explore, critique, and reimagine technology. The program integrates technology “under the hood” investigations with social justice topics, documentary filmmaking, and relationship building among participants. Teams from local high schools, community-based organizations, and faith-based groups partner with Chicagoland activists and artists plus faculty and students from Northwestern University's TREE Lab to complete a 19-week curriculum and produce a short documentary film about a technology-related issue of the youth's choosing. https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/technology-quotes-activity daily 0.75 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/0e4a653e-741d-4763-ab40-7d9fab3aa294/Technology+Education+Workshop+Calhoun+Middle+School+050622.png Technology Quotes Activity - Running the activity in the classroom The technology quotes activity was created as an introductory activity to encourage people to consider critical interpretations of technology that go beyond simply seeing technology as tools that always result in social progress. Educators can use all the quotes in full, choose some, or use simplified quotes. The Google slides linked below are intended to be printed out and posted on classroom walls for a “gallery walk,” but teachers can adapt the activity for their contexts. We have continued adding quotes to this page as our community shares new ones with us. Only the quotes we have used in the classroom appear in the slides, but of course, it is easy to modify the slides to include different quotes. Please continue to check back for updates.

Draw on Prior Knowledge Educators should not assume what students know and believe about technology. Instead, we offer four questions to initate discussion that draws on prior knowledge, beliefs, and experiences: How do you define technology? What do you like about technology? What do you dislike about technology? How would you rate your relationship with technologies? Students may talk in small groups and then share whether their relationships with technology were good (thumbs up), complicated (thumb sideways), or bad (thumb down). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/6114c512-8185-47ed-80d5-f217b6c42507/Technology+Education+Workshop+Calhoun+Middle+School+050622%284%29.png Technology Education Introductory Activities - 2. Provide Examples of Technological Change and Problems Educators can share examples of technological changes and problems such as how Ring doorbell cameras are changing neighborhoods and surveillance, cars in the U.S. have replaced walking and biking to school (in comparison with the U.S. past and more bike friendly countries today), and (often of most interest to students) the discriminatory design evident in a “racist soap dispenser” (see video; read article). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/764e0b86-5bc6-4ae6-a8d4-476b5f46ae1b/Technology+Education+Workshop+Calhoun+Middle+School+050622%281%29.png Technology Education Introductory Activities - 3. Inquire into Technology Quotes The technology quotes activity was created as an introductory activity to encourage people to consider critical interpretations of technology that go beyond simply seeing technology as progress. Educators can use all the quotes in full, choose some, or use simplified quotes. You can use the full or simplified quotes on the site linked below, make a copy of Google slides to use in your class as a gallery walk, or remix the activity in some other creative way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/1652567980336-AUNN1F7REXL9YXC3IDY2/unsplash-image-Im7lZjxeLhg.jpg Technology Education Introductory Activities - 4. Participate in Tech Reset Simulation The Technology Reset Simulation transports students to the year 2050 where human problems related to weather disasters racism, inequality, oppression, and misinformation have only intensified. The alien Technoids arrive on Planet Earth to point out that a common villain across these problems is technology. A special task force is thus empowered to create a new “motto” for human relationships with technologies, (b) ban two technologies that violate the motto, and (c) require two technologies that align with the motto. The changes recommended by the task forace may be hard, but humanity requires a new start.

Prior to the telegraph, information could be moved only as fast as a train could travel: about thirty-five miles per hour. Prior to the telegraph, information was sought as part of the process of understanding and solving particular problems. Prior to the telegraph, information tended to be of local interest. Telegraphy changed all of this, and instigated the second stage of the information revolution. The telegraph removed space as an inevitable constraint on the movement of information, and, for the first time, transportation and communication were disengaged from each other. In the United States, the telegraph erased state lines, collapsed regions, and, by wrapping the continent in an information grid, created the possibility of a unified nation-state. But more than this, telegraphy created the idea of context-free information—that is, the idea that the value of information need not be tied to any function it might serve in social and political decision-making and action. The telegraph made information into a commodity, a "thing" that could be bought and sold irrespective of its uses or meaning.” (Postman, 1992, pp. 67-68) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/5c60b51c-cd93-40c7-a5b1-0210bb2fd518/image-asset.jpeg Messages - Make it stand out Photo by Domenico Loia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/fbb35558-ca57-4633-a498-37b1ee6d97c3/Western+Union+Telegram.jpg Messages - Make it stand out Western Union Telegram card from the 1930s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/acd1628c-e137-4973-91fd-5f73d5bd51b9/Text-or-Call-2.png Messages - Make it stand out To what extent do you agree with the reasons at the end?

For example, “to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.. . . Who would have imagined, for example, whose interests and what world-view would be ultimately advanced by the invention of the mechanical clock? . . . The bells of the monastery were to be rung to signal the canonical [according to the bible] hours; the mechanical clock [see image to the right] was the technology that could provide precision to these rituals of devotion. And indeed it did. But what the monks did not foresee [predict] was that the clock is a means not merely of keeping track of the hours but also of synchronizing and controlling the actions of men. . . By the middle of the fourteenth century, the clock had moved outside the walls of the monastery, and brought a new and precise regularity to the life of the workman and the merchant. "The mechanical clock," as Lewis Mumford wrote, "made possible the idea of regular production, regular working hours and a standardized product." In short, without the clock, capitalism would have been quite impossible. The paradox, the surprise, and the wonder are that the clock was invented by men who wanted to devote themselves more rigorously to God; it ended as the technology of greatest use to men who wished to devote themselves to the accumulation of money.” (Postman, 1992, pp. 14-15) https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/maps-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/a6c56fdd-2200-4151-9e18-055ce26e2169/Simplified+History+of+Navigation.png Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out This timeline is not comprehensive but includes major developments in navigation and how people wayfind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/a4967a6f-1bbc-4b70-b0a9-093d212b86a6/Nocturnal.png Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out Korea National Maritime Museum Exhibit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/7bdb51b9-9107-4459-b352-a50b6e93cd27/Staring+at+Map.png Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out Can you navigate without your smartphone? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/b3544e35-b197-4d02-8089-13f6f4cbb3ec/Wayfinding.jpg Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/559308dd-f5ef-48c7-85cf-ac1010cc5376/marcopolo.jpg Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out Image Credit: https://depts.washington.edu/silkroad/maps/marcopolo.html https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/b7f8c847-9db2-4d7a-aa65-29f150164c32/Magellan+RoadMate.jpg Maps (Simple) - Make it stand out 2009 Magellan RoadMate (Portable GPS Device) https://www.civicsoftechnology.org/messages-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/b34cbaf5-a527-4aaa-b086-ce853507f5fc/Simplified+History+of+Communication.png Messages (Simple) - Make it stand out This timeline is not comprehensive but includes major developments in communication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/5c60b51c-cd93-40c7-a5b1-0210bb2fd518/image-asset.jpeg Messages (Simple) - Make it stand out Photo by Domenico Loia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/fbb35558-ca57-4633-a498-37b1ee6d97c3/Western+Union+Telegram.jpg Messages (Simple) - Make it stand out Western Union Telegram card from the 1930s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cf7350af4a9a05e12ced8f/acd1628c-e137-4973-91fd-5f73d5bd51b9/Text-or-Call-2.png Messages (Simple) - Make it stand out To what extent do you agree with the reasons at the end?

Educators can use all the quotes in full, choose some quotes, or use simplified quotes. The Google slides linked below are intended to be printed out and posted on classroom walls for a “gallery walk,” but teachers can adapt the activity for their contexts. We have continued adding quotes to this page as our community shares new ones with us. Only the quotes we have used in the classroom appear in the slides, but of course, it is easy to modify the slides to include different quotes. Please continue to check back for updates.
