In a world where toddlers seamlessly transition from building with blocks to swiping on screens, the intertwining of early childhood and technology becomes inevitable. Beyond the buzzes, beeps, and pixels lies an intricate landscape of norms, rights, and responsibilities, just as complex and crucial as those in the physical world. Digital literacy is the skill set that allows an individual to effectively use and navigate digital tools. Digital citizenship, on the other hand, concerns using these tools responsibly and ethically. While associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics offer screen-time guidelines, the diverse realities of young children's digital access and experience leads to diverse realities regarding screen time. Achieving the essential balanced approach is seemingly getting more and more difficult and requires setting clear boundaries, providing alternative activities, and modeling responsible digital behavior. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) provides a comprehensive set of standards for the integration of technology in education. These standards have evolved over two decades, ensuring their relevance to current educational needs. By emphasizing digital citizenship, teachers not only equip children with the technical skills to operate within the digital realm but also with the values to do so compassionately and responsibly.
