Netsafe (2018) defines digital citizenship as the confident, fluent use and combination of:
1. Skills and strategies to access technology to communicate, connect, collaborate and create;
2. Attitudes, underpinned by values that support personal integrity and positive connection with others;
3. Understanding and knowledge of the digital environments and contexts in which they are working, and how they integrate on/offline spaces;
and then critically:
4. They are using their ‘digital fluency’ competency to participate in life-enhancing opportunities (social, economic, cultural, civil) and to achieve their goals.
