Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship is an important topic of learning for students today, as the online world becomes more ever-present. To understand what is meant by digital citizenship, it is worth starting with a definition of citizenship.
Citizenship is defined as the qualities that a person is expected to have as a responsible member of a community. (Merriam Webster)
So we can think about Digital Citizenship as responsible online behavior. A good digital citizen observes norms of behavior and uses technology appropriate and respectfully. Use the resources here to further investigate and learn about just what this means.
Another Perspective on Digital Citizenship and what it is -
“The quality of habits, actions, and consumption patterns that impact the ecology of digital content and communities.”
~ Terry Heick
