Digital Citizens

In reading the various articles provided this is what I would want my elementary students, staff and teachers to understand about being a digital citizen and as a result do:

  1. Use Technology - We must learn about and use technology to communicate with others in the digital society.
  2. Respect Technology - We must use technology based on its purpose if we want to continue to use it freely.
  3. Practice Self-Protection - We must protect ourselves, computers and information from forces that can cause harm such as identity seekers/thieves, viruses, cookie attachments, etc.
  4. Understand Our Civil Responsibility - We must understand that we are breaking the law if we steal or damage another person's work, identity or online property.
  5. Be Able to Identify Free and Protected Works - We must learn about the different copyright symbols.
