One of the more intimidating and rewarding projects of my preparation program was the creation of a digital citizenship website. This website was designed with two distinct yet interconnected components: one for students and one for teachers, all with original content.
On the student-facing side, I developed an interactive digital bookshelf featuring age-appropriate literature on digital citizenship topics, including privacy, cyberbullying, and responsible technology use. The bookshelf was accompanied by a curated and annotated reading list tailored to meet student learning needs and interests. Additionally, I created two original comic strips and two original choose-your-own-adventure stories that modeled age-appropriate digital dilemmas for K-2 and grades 3-5 students. This side of the site exemplified my understanding of how information can be organized, represented, and disseminated to young learners in an accessible, engaging format.
The teacher-facing side provided two original instructional videos that I created, one on student data privacy and another on digital content and copyright, along with a downloadable Digital Citizenship classroom poster that reinforces key digital citizenship concepts. This resource applied disciplinary knowledge in a real-world context, bridging theory and practice.
The process of building the website drew upon my research, instructional design, and content creation skills, as well as my ability to communicate clearly, think critically about audience needs, and ethically curate information.
By designing for both students and educators, I demonstrated leadership, collaboration, and a commitment to equitable access to information. This project not only deepened my understanding of the theoretical and conceptual foundations of Information Science, but also affirmed my belief in the librarian’s role as an advocate, educator, and guide in our increasingly digital world.
