Schools are an opportune context for digital citizenship education and promoting healthy digital media use. We examine 20 programs providing such resources. They differ in topics and depth, target grade levels of students, pedagogical approaches (lecture, discussion), formats (scenario-based lessons, videos, interactive games), and takeaways. Our review reveals that lessons promoting healthy digital habits involve these learning goals: (1) Critical awareness: revealing how digital design features shape technology experiences; (2) Self-reflection: building self-awareness about personal digital media use (e.g., asking students to track app use). Self-reflection builds “digital metacognition” involving thinking intentionally about technology choices. (3) Behavioral change: helping students “balance” their lives through on-device strategies (e.g., turning off push notifications) and off-device strategies (e.g., scheduling screen-free time). Although more research on the effectiveness of school-based programs is needed, there is potential in a three-pronged approach whereby educators and others working with youth build critical awareness, self-reflection, and behavioral change.
