About this Event

What do young people need to navigate the digital world? How can families and educators support their journey toward becoming thoughtful consumers of information and responsible global citizens? How does AI help or hinder these efforts? Join Denise Pope, Dan Schwartz, and Sam Wineburg for a live recording of the GSE's award-winning School's In podcast and a panel discussion exploring these timely questions.
