What is Digital Citizenship?
◦ Digital citizenship is used to help educators and parents
understand what students should know to use technology
appropriately.
◦ We must teach our children how to behave in the digital world,
just as we teach them how to behave in public.
Digital Access
◦ It is hard for some people to
understand that others in this
world do not have the same
access to technology that
they have.
◦ Users need to keep in mind that
some people may have limited
access.
◦ This limited access can be at
home or at school.
◦ Every child should
understand that everyone
should be given the same
opportunities, which means
the same digital access.
Digital Commerce
◦ Online Shopping is major part of society.
◦ While there is legal commerce happening
online, students need to understand that there is
also illegal commerce online.
◦ Such as
◦ Illegal downloading.
◦ Pornography.
◦ Gambling.
◦ Children must be shown the difference between
legal and illegal digital commerce. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
Digital Communication
◦ We live in such a technologically advanced world, that we are
able to talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime that we want.
◦ When given so much freedom, we must educate our children on
how to act appropriately when there are so many different
communication paths to take.
Digital Literacy
◦ We have a lot of technology being used in career fields that are
not being used in schools.
◦ As educators, we need to bridge that gap to ensure that our children have
the knowledge to prosper in their chosen field.
Digital Etiquette
◦ Just as we teach our children how to behave in public, we must
teach them how to behave in the digital world.
◦ Most of the time, when inappropriate behavior occurs, we ban or
decrease hands-on technology time.
◦ This will not work if we are to teach etiquette to our children.
◦ They will need to be taught how to behave appropriately.
Digital Law
◦ Just as in real life situations, there are laws in place to prevent
crime.
◦ Our children need to be taught what are digital crimes.
◦ Hacking into others information.
◦ Downloading illegal music.
◦ Plagiarizing
◦ Creating destructive worms, viruses or creating Trojan Horses.
◦ Sending spam
◦ Stealing anyone’s identify or property is unethical.
Digital Rights & Responsibilities
◦ There are certain rights that users of technology are permitted,
but with these rights comes the responsibility to use them
appropriately.
◦ These rights include, but are not limited to:
◦ Freedom of speech.
◦ Right to privacy.
Digital Health & Wellness
◦ With technology, comes certain health problems.
◦ The physical problems include:
◦ Eye strain.
◦ Repetitive Stress Syndrome.
◦ Sound ergonomic practices.
◦ The psychological problems include:
◦ Internet addiction.
Digital Security (self-protection)
◦ Just as in real life, we must protect our digital lives.
◦ This means have virus protection to protect our documents.
◦ And also having backups of our data so that if someone decides
to act inappropriately, we do not suffer too badly.
