Digital Citizenship

I encourage you to spend time exploring this subject with students and to consider your own digital citizenship. When students work and publish work online, they need to do remain safe.

From Digital Citizenship [] Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey

 * [|Digital Communication]: //electronic exchange of information.//
 * [|Digital Literacy]: //process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology.//

What is my digital citizenship? Who am I when I am online? Am I a consumer of information and media? Do I produce? Am I a purchaser? You may evolve from time to time and you may be an amalgam of many of these things.
