“All Aboard for DigiTown!”is a fun, entertaining learning journey for young digital citizens through 10 digital themes centred on ‘Being online’, ‘Well-being online’ and ‘Rights online’. These are based on the Council of Europe’s successful Digital Citizenship Education model. As children progress through the stories, exercises and individual and group activities in the book, they will learn about using digital technology wisely, behaving respectfully and responsibly, and cooperating meaningfully online and offline. They end their journey with a backpack of badges to remind them of what being a digital citizen really means. A final section provides solutions, and offers teachers and parents a detailed overview of the competences their children are developing in order to better guide them on their path towards digital citizenship.

 

The book can be used both in class, at home and in distance learning. It is adapted to the learning needs of children in the final years of elementary school (age around 9-12 years).
