Being a Good Relative in a Digital World
AI readiness activities built to spark debate, ignite curiosity, and build community.
Being a Good Relative in a Digital World
Being a Good Relative in a Digital World is a series from Indigitize, adapted from the aiEDU x The Rithm Project AI Snapshot series. It asks students to think about AI through the lens of community and responsibility: who they are connected to, what they owe each other, and what it means to use technology as a good community member.
Students will:
Map their daily connection patterns and examine how technology shapes the quality of their relationships
Identify scenarios when AI supports or erodes human connection
Reflect with family and community on what values-aligned technology use looks like in their own lives
Articulate what it means to be a good community member in a world shaped by AI

Mapping Connection
Students map their feelings of connection throughout a day, annotate peaks & valleys with tech use, then compare patterns with peers.
The AI Effect
Students sort AI scenarios into Supports, Erodes, or Depends and debate ethical trade-offs, then craft personal guidelines for healthy AI use.
“[The AI Effect] scenarios provided opportunities for students to have rich discussions about what connection means.”
