CSTANJ CSPDWeek 2026

This session pairs the pedagogical "how-to" of AI integration with the gold-standard framework of Common Sense Media. We will explore how to weave AI literacy into the fabric of Digital Citizenship, ensuring students don’t just use AI, but understand the ethics, bias, and responsibility behind the screen.

AI is no longer a future technology. It’s in our students' pockets, search bars, and homework routines today. But how do we move beyond blocking and filtering to actually empowering our youngest learners? See how Common Sense resources can help you vet AI tools for privacy and safety, help educate parents and the community, and learn about Ai bias. Explore ready-to-use, "plug-and-play" mini-lessons (20 minutes or less) that teach kids to think critically about AI-generated content.Learn how to apply the concepts of AI, helping students understand their impact on themselves, their community, and the world.Participants will leave not just with a list of tools, but with a strategic roadmap to turn their students into savvy, ethical digital citizens who can navigate an AI-driven world with confidence and common sense.
