Egresitz, Justin
Technology and Engineering Teacher, v80 n2 p8-12 Oct 2020
Members of modern society should have skills that include understanding the technological world around them and how it can influence and be influenced by citizens. In an effort to create an informed, responsive, and technologically literate public, Technology and Engineering Education curriculum concerning digital citizenship and digital understanding must be included at the middle and secondary levels. By teaching these concepts to the next generation of citizens, Technology and Engineering educators are better preparing students not only for the digital world they are a part of already but providing them with analytical skills and dispositions that will last long after the final bell.
