In this episode, our hosts Jared Covili and Kiera Beddes sit down with Eric Price, principal of Fort Herriman Middle School. Our conversation focused on how he is a Digital Citizen Advocate for his students.  Eric shared how technology is shaping the education of students across the district and the role that adults play to help kids navigate these digital days.

Over the course of this episode, we discuss the following questions:

1. What do you see are the responsibilities and opportunities inherent living in a digital world?
2. How do you define good digital citizenship? What are the characteristics of a good digital citizen?
3. How do you inspire and encourage educators and students to use technology for civic engagement and to address challenges to improve their communities?
4. What are your best tips for fostering a culture of respectful online interactions?
5. How can you encourage a healthy balance in teachers & students' use of technology?
6. Why is it so important to teach students to critically examine the sources of online media and identify underlying assumptions? How do tools like ChatGPT and AI influence this conversation?
7. What are the best ways to empower educators and students to make informed decisions to protect their personal data and curate the digital profile they intend to reflect?
