Digital Citezenship

2. What Is Digital Citizenship?
• Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone
who uses computers, the Internet, and digital devices to engage with
society on any level.
• As the rate of technological advancement continues to increase, the world
as a whole is becoming more dependent on the Internet for day-to-day
activities. That makes this a crucial topic to teach today’s students.
• Good digital citizenship for students engages them and shows them how to
connect with one another, empathize with each other, and create lasting
relationships through digital tools.
• Bad digital citizenship, on the other hand, entails cyberbullying,
irresponsible social media usage, and a general lack of knowledge about
how to safely use the Internet.
• Fortunately, almost all of the requirements to be a good digital citizen can
be taught in the classroom.

3. Why You Should Teach Digital
Citizenship?
• Teaching digital citizenship equips students with
the knowledge, skills, and resources to succeed
as lifetime learners. This also helps them learn
to engage within a digital environment with
responsibility and confidence to develop as
leaders who will leave meaningful impacts in the
lives of others.

4. What Concepts Does Digital Citizenship
Include?
If you want to teach this subject, you'll want to
focus on seven key concepts:
• Empathy
• How the Internet works
• Understanding user data
• Practicing digital literacy
• Acknowledging the digital divide
• Practicing digital wellness
• Securing digital devices

5. EMPATHY
• This is because empathy is
crucial to understanding how
people talk and behave online.
• Because Internet use relies
largely on text-based
communications, it’s
impossible to hear someone’s
vocal tone, see their facial
expressions, or understand
other non-verbal cues that you
get when you’re speaking to
someone face-to-face.

6. How the Internet Works?
• The Internet is so fast and
responsive that it’s almost mind-
blowing to consider all of the
processes that have to happen
behind the scenes just for
someone to check their email.
But only a small percentage of
people in the world — including
students — actually
understand what those
processes are. Even fewer
understand how those
processes work!
• When you show students that
the Internet works via a
sophisticated interconnection of
digital tools, you set the stage to
help them understand the next
key elements of being good

7. Understanding User Data
• User data is one of the most complex and
concerning concepts in the digital age. Just
about every company with a website
collects data on the people who visit it. That
data may be as simple as the pages that
someone views, and it could be as complex
as someone’s home address. Most of the
websites on the Internet use this information
for marketing purposes. It helps them
understand their customers a little bit better,
and it helps companies connect with people
in a meaningful way. However, other
websites use this opportunity maliciously.
They may “mine” someone’s web browser
for their search history. They might also
attach a “cookie,” or unique identifier, to
someone’s web browser to see the other
websites they visit. Then, many of these
companies take this data, package it
together, and sell it to the highest bidder.
While almost every country has laws
dictating that companies can’t collect data
on individuals younger than 18 (or 13 in
some places), the fact of the matter is that it
happens anyway. As a result, your students
need to know about personal data — and
they need to know how they can protect
themselves!

8. Practicing Digital Literacy
• Digital literacy is the practice
of reading information online
and understanding what it
means, where it originated,
and whether it’s accurate. As a
result, digital literacy is one of
the hardest concepts to teach
to students. It’s also one of the
most important qualities for
students to become good
digital citizens!

9. Acknowledging the Digital Divide
• The digital divide is the
disparity between those who
have access to modern digital
tools (like computers and the
Internet) and those who don’t.
This is important to recognize
because the Internet is still
very much a luxury in the
world, even in the United
States!

10. Practicing Digital Wellness
• Digital wellness is the practice
of refraining from indulging in
the Internet and digital media
for reasonable amounts of
time. In other words, it’s the
practice of knowing when to
“take a break” from screens.
Digital wellness is important
because too much screen
time can have adverse effects
on students.

11. Securing Digital Devices
• The final element of becoming
a good digital citizen is
securing digital devices. This
is the perfect capstone to
your digital citizenship
curriculum because it takes
everything students have
learned and applies it to real-
life scenarios.

13. DIGITAL ACCESS
• The full electronic participation in society.

14. Digital Communication
• Electronic Exchange of Information.

15. DIGITAL LAW
• The legal rights and restrictions governing
technology use full electronic participation in
society.

16. Digital Rights and Responsibilities
• The privileges and freedom extended to all
digital technology users, and the behavioral
expectations that come with the Law; the legal
rights and restrictions governing technology use.

17. Digital Literacy
• The capability to use digital technology and
knowing when and how to use it.

18. Digital Commerce
• The buying and selling of goods online.

19. Digital Security
• Digital Security - The precautions that all
technology users must take to guarantee their
personal safety and the security of their network.

20. Digital Etiquette
• The standards of conduct expected by other
digital technology users.

21. Digital Health and Welfare
• The elements of physical and psychological
well-being related to digital technology use.

22. THE VALUE OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

23. • The Value of Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship
teaches students how to seek out, select, and filter
information, as well as how to select a reliable and
authentic source of information. Teach and value
everyone's understanding of digital citizenship in
order to avoid cyberbullying and other situations.
With the advent of digitalization, Employers evaluate
potential students or employees based on their
social media profiles. As a result, it is critical to
teach students how to develop online personas that
project a positive and constructive image.

things and lose sight of their
responsibilities as a student
