Abstract
Given that contact with the Digital World occurs from a very early age, educators play a vital role in preparing children for this topic. Educators, on the other hand, need support to approach computing in a multidisciplinary way, with subjects already present in the curriculum. In this direction, this article presents three approaches to the “Digital Citizenship“ workshop to K-8 teachers. The objective of the workshop is to introduce subjects such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Citizenship and Digital Culture, so that they can replicate it in the classroom. Insights after each workshop guided the evolution of the three approaches and are explored in this paper. Results indicated that even having topics which are less technical and (theoretically) simpler in the context of computing, it is not trivial to be able to address the impacts of technology use on society.
