Abstract | Students often have limited opportunities in school to grapple with the ramifications of the increasing influence technology companies exert over their lives. Digital citizenship curricula could be the exception, but they typically emphasize personal safety and respectful behavior online, ignoring more participatory or justice-oriented notions of citizenship. The scholarship on critical pedagogy helps to envision a different definition of digital citizenship that challenges the status quo to achieve social justice. Critical digital citizenship curricula are therefore a means for educators and students to use technology and interrogate it in order to effect systemic change. This brief paper examines initial results from the Young People's Race, Power, and Technology Project (YPRPT), an out-of-school program that integrates technology "under the hood" investigations with social justice topics and documentary filmmaking. Youth-produced documentaries on topics such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, the problems as well as the possibilities of automation, and facial recognition technology demonstrate how the young people are developing critical digital citizenship through exploring knotty questions of civics and technology with questions and ideas that seek broad systemic change at institutional levels. If traditional digital citizenship curricula struggle to address complex social problems, then YPRPT exemplifies one learning experience designed to foster students' critical digital citizenship and encourage them to cultivate justice-oriented civic identities.
