Digital Citizenship
THINK about it...
Digital Citizenship
According to Shannon Miller, being a Digital Citizen "means that you are aware, responsible, and part of the world that we know, which is filled with technology, collaboration, and connecting to one another in a variety of ways. Everyone is digital, and is using technology in so many areas of life, it’s quickly becoming redundant to continue including the word 'digital' in the term digital citizenship...
It is just part of who we all are as citizens."
What do you think?
THINK before you...
How we behave online has a lot to do with our perception of the "internet", how we utilize it, and how we (and future generations) will use it. Young teachers now are part of the first group of children to grow up with internet access. What we choose to allow, concerning online behavior, sets the standard for the current/future users.
