Digital citizenship education in the New Zealand curriculum: Opportunities for postdigital practice

Authors
Abstract

Using existing research on digital citizenship education (DCE), postdigital theory, and The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC), this article indicates how schools and teachers can make links between curriculum and a postdigital interpretation of DCE. Although the view of DCE as being cross-curricular presents opportunities to integrate DCE into multiple learning areas, the onus is still on teachers to enact DCE in their learning area. The aim of this practice notes piece is to support teachers by indicating how NZC and the content focus of the different learning areas offer space to deliver a critical, speculative, postdigital form of DCE.
