This year we have a new addition to our Nebraska Digital Citizenship efforts! For the last year and half we have been collaborating with state and national DigCit advocates, including Kristen Mattson, Commonsense Education, and LPS. Kristen is providing a free 4 part webinar series throughout this school year. Recordings will be available. These webinars will promote the 4 pillars mentioned above.

2025 Symposium Recap:
The 2025 DCS was held on October 8 at five Nebraska ESUs. Our participation consisted of 133 people from 20 districts representing 10 ESUs! Check out the map and highlight video below!
We invited teams of students and a teacher, counselor, librarian, or other adult to attend our annual symposium in person at one of five Nebraska ESUs. The day was filled with learning, collaborating, and creating a digital citizenship action to bring back to the districts.
Our guest speaker this year was Kristen Mattson. Through her work with Digital Citizenship as a teacher, school librarian, presenter, author, and doctoral student, Kristen has developed a framework around 4 pillars: Digital Safety, Media and Information Literacy, Digital Well-being, and Social Responsibility. You can find her curricular framework and read more about her work at Teach DigCit and Edvolve .
We also sponsor a Poster/Public Service Announcement contest for K-12 students each year. 2026 winners are now posted! We had a record number of entries this year at 241!
