Teaching Kids to Think Critically About Technology
Why teaching children critical thinking about technology and digital ethics is essential for building a responsible digital future.

Digital Literacy for the Next Generation
Children today are digital natives, but being able to use technology does not mean understanding it. Critical thinking about technology — from recognizing misinformation to understanding how algorithms shape their feeds — is an essential skill for the 21st century.
Schools around the world are beginning to integrate digital ethics into their curricula, teaching students not just how to code, but how to think about the societal implications of the code they write.
Key Skills to Teach
- Identifying misinformation and deepfakes
- Understanding how social media algorithms work
- Basics of data privacy and online safety
- Ethical considerations in technology design
Empowering the next generation starts with education.
