DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
and
Social Media
Digital Citizenship and Social Media
People all over the planet interact using various technologies.
This interaction has created a digital society.
In any society, it is expected that digital citizens act in a certain
way—according to accepted norms, rules, and laws.
Most of today’s youth are entirely comfortable with technology, but
are they using it appropriately?
Do they understand their roles and responsibilities in digital
society?
Do they know how to be Digital Disciples and Digital Citizens?
