Digital Citizenship
By: Chloe Eng
What is digital citizenship?
Digital citizenship is the idea that helps professors, technical users and adults to acknowledge what learners, kids, and device owners should know to use the internet school appropriately and responsibly.
Why is digital citizenship important?
Digital citizenship is important because you might not know how much secretive information about yourself you are putting on the internet, so anybody could see the pictures or whatever you posted online. It could also make your friends or teachers look at you in a certain way. In addition, you could stop cyber bullying because it hurts people and whoever cyber bullied made tracks in the internet for somebody else to find and to report to a teacher or any other adult.
Some examples of good and poor digital citizenship in a school setting.
Poor example:
A class was going on laptops and a student decides to go onto his facebook account and he posts " so bored zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz" He forgot that he is friends with his teacher on facebook so he got a message from the teacher telling him that he now has detention. He also forgot that he was friends with his mom so she comments that he loses his phone.
Good example:
Using the school devices and going onto the correct websites while in school. Also doing what your supposed to do, like a project, or homework, or anything.
Good example:
Using good grammar, checking your spelling, and punctuation when communicating to anybody on the internet.
How i will be a good digital citizen this year in school.
I will:
- Do the work that I am supposed to do in school and not do any things that I am not supposed to do.
- Use proper grammar online and I will check my punctuation and spelling when I type online.
- I won't post anything really personal for people I don't know to see, and for people I respect to see because they might look at you in a different way.
