What Is Digital Citizenship in 2025? How Is It Taught? - Brian T. Horowitz, Ed Tech

Today, the concept has expanded to encompass how students use digital tools, says Eisha Buch, head of teaching and learning at Common Sense Media. "Digital citizenship is really empowering young people to think critically about their digital lives and participate in safe, healthy and responsible ways,” Buch says. Common Sense Media’s digital citizenship curriculum addresses these topics:

Media balance and well-being
Privacy and safety
Digital footprint and identity
Relationships and communication
Cyberbullying, digital drama and hate speech
News and media literacy
