As part of the Virtue Library (Vrlinoteka), students of Savremena Primary School explored virtues this week through the story Digital Traces from the book Summer Hustle with Fairy Sunčica by Željana Radojičić Lukić. The focus was on the extremely important virtue of caution and learning how to navigate the digital world safely. The activity Guardians of the Wise Click helped children understand that every digital step leaves a trace, and taught them how to recognize safe and risky choices. Through creative exercises, students designed their own “digital step maps,” learning to think about the consequences of their actions and develop critical thinking skills.

Through the story Digital Traces, students were introduced to characters and scenarios that encourage attention and mindfulness while using digital devices. Each part of the story provided opportunities for discussions on safety, rule-following, and responsible online behavior. In this way, children were not only learning theory but were also applying values in scenarios similar to real-life situations. The story helps them develop decision-making skills and risk assessment abilities, which are crucial skills in today’s digital age.

Through this creative activity, students designed maps of their digital steps, highlighting the difference between safe and risky actions. This task enhances their attention, analytical thinking, and ability to foresee consequences. Children also learn to recognize their own boundaries and consider the safety of themselves and others in the digital environment. Each project is unique, reflecting a child’s perspective on the digital world and providing an opportunity to explore their choices and behaviors through artistic expression.

The students’ works are displayed in the Virtue Library as a permanent reminder of the importance of caution. The exhibition allows children to appreciate their effort, learn from others, and consistently remind themselves that safety and mindfulness in the digital world are not just rules but virtues to be practiced. Activities like this demonstrate how Savremena School is dedicated to an education that combines knowledge, skills, and moral values, preparing students for responsible behavior in both the real and digital world.
