The 2017 DigCitSummit (Digital Citizenship Summit) was a 2-day event focused on EXPANDing conversations and collaborative change around issues related to kids and technology.
Teachers, parents, youth, and professionals from multiple sectors (e.g., education, business, government, non-profit, health, etc.) gathered to talk about how adults and kids can work together toward more deliberate and positive technology use (#UseTech4Good).
The 2017 DigCitSummit was different from your typical conference. Hosted by EPIK Deliberate Digital, the Summit meetings were heavily focused on creative, collaborative, roundtable discussions. Every voice and perspective mattered at this Summit.
The DigCitSummit is really about creating a movement of people making an impact -- ripples -- in their own spheres to change the way we as adults and kids alike talk about, teach, and engage the powerful and ever-expanding digital landscape of our day.
