Public debate often discusses restrictions on minors’ use of smartphones and social media. This is an important topic, but it risks being reductive if not accompanied by broader reflection.
Digital civic education cannot be limited to prohibitions: it requires tools, awareness, and critical thinking.
This is why I recommend the book: “Notes on Digital Civic Education.”
Research Notebook #92, edited by Pietro Jarre, Gianni Garbarini, and Marco Pozzi (Loescher Editore, Turin)
The text is based on the discussions at the Digital Ethics Forum organized by Sloweb and brings together useful contributions for understanding the ongoing transformations between technologies, rights, and responsibilities.
Talking about digital civic education means addressing a cultural challenge that concerns all of society.
In this context, we cannot ignore gender biases in artificial intelligence systems: often invisible, they have a tangible impact on opportunities, representations, and access to rights.
My contribution to the volume is dedicated precisely to this topic.
A useful work for teachers, educators, those working in digital, and anyone who wants to explore the meaning of citizenship in the age of pervasive technology.
The volume is available in online stores and can be ordered from bookstores.
The complete PDF is available on the Loescher Editore website and is also available on MyLim.
