Why we use Digital Citizenship
Why we use digital citizenship is because it is important to be safe online. You don't know what can pop up on your screen that can trick you and get you in a dangerous spot. Digital citizenship is all about being safe and not clicking on any ads without an adult with you to make the choice if it is safe or if it is not safe.
