Tool 11: Digital Citizen

These technologies are neither good or bad its only how you make them so. As teachers, it’s up to us to help our children understand the consequences of their actions and prepare them for the facts of life. We have to help them think long term.

Here are three things I would want to make sure my students understood about being a good digital citizen:
1. Anything you say or do can be copied, pasted, and sent to millions of people without your permission.
2. If you don’t want it done to you, don’t do it to someone else.
3. Just because it’s online does not make it true.

Teachers can support and demonstrate student learning on how to become a digital citizen by modeling appropriate behaviors in the classroom.
