Dear iLEAD Families,
This month, we’re focusing on a crucial topic for our learners: Digital Citizenship. The state of California observes Digital Citizenship Week from October 13–24, 2025. This annual campaign, led by Common Sense Media, is all about helping our kids develop a healthy, balanced, and positive relationship with technology and media.
The goal is to equip learners with the 21st-century skills they need to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.
This Year’s Focus: AI is Changing Everything
The theme for this year is Artificial Intelligence (AI). As AI becomes more common in our daily lives, it’s important for families to understand the following:
- What is AI?
- Why does AI matter?
- How can AI be used as a powerful learning tool at home?
We want to partner with you to help our learners thrive in a world full of new technology.
