Welcome to TDLS 2025! After some opening remarks, we welcome Keynote Speaker Leticia Citizen and her topic, When Digital Equity is Digital Justice. This keynote emphasizes the shift from digital equity to digital justice by empowering students as storytellers. It highlights intentional teaching practices that center student voices through digital media, art, and reflective activities. The time spent together will encourage educators to foster inclusive, student-led learning environments that promote belonging, agency, and social justice.
