From Paper to Play: Using AI to Bring Critical Digital Citizenship Frameworks to Life
We live in an era demanding constant navigation through a complex digital landscape, saturated with information, misinformation, and the increasing influence of artificial intelligence. As educators, particularly those of us focused on social studies and civic readiness, preparing students for this reality isn't just important—it's essential.

Social Studies Teaching Balanced History in a Polarized World: Empowering Educators with C.O.R.E., H.E.A.R.T., and AI
