Etiquette, as well as, rights and responsibilities, and security additionally affect the school environment and the behavior of students (Ribble, 2015). Digital etiquette is “the electronic standards of conduct or procedure” (Ribble, 2015, p. 67). Students need to think about their digital footprints or digital tattoos. As a student, they must think about the Google search results if someone were to Google them (Ohler, 2015). Oftentimes, future employers will Google prospects to see what comes up. All students will need to work on their individual digital footprints (Ohler, 2015). It is necessary to incorporate parent involvement in digital citizenship (Ohler, 2015). Parents need to have cyberbullying talks with their students and frequently can impart wisdom by having discussions about how to generally handle cyberbullying situations. Parents need to be involved in order for the education to be effective.
Digital rights and responsibilities are “those requirements and freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world” (Ribble, 2015, p. 78). Digital security is “the electronic precautions to guarantee safety” (Ribble, 2015, p. 87) Students need to know how to create safe passwords and usernames. They also need to know what information to put online to contribute positively to their digital footprint or tattoo, and what information is too dangerous to provide.
