Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship


  • How is digital citizenship similar & different to traditional citizenship?
    • For anyone, citizenship means being a good student/worker, being friendly to whomever you come in contact with, and staying up to date on the latest news/trends.
    • In contrasting the two, in digital citizenship people often hide behind the screen of a device, and hurting other peoples feelings. This is something that we need to bring to the attention of the children and tell them how hurtful it can be. 
    • Traditional citizenship is making connections with people, being a friendly person, and trying to do good in the community. 
    • Both digital citizenship and traditional citizenship can be combined to make the world a better place.
  • What traditional citizenship ideas can we give our students to help them become better digital citizens?
    • With the help of our parents/guardians, we will be able to help our students become better citizens and digital citizens that can make a difference!
    • I would make the suggestion to make sure the children know that just like real life, people are watching to make sure you do the right thing. 
    • Make sure they know to tell an adult if they spot anything odd. 
    • Make sure they are being a kindhearted person online just as they are in class.
  • Be a teacher who teaches how to be a digital citizen. 
    • For teachers, it is important to make sure your students know and how to use the any device-from Internet all the way to I-Pad's.
      • If they learn this from a teacher, it is most likely to carry on throughout their life.
    • Make sure they understand how to use the Internet safely.
      • Make sure they know how to exhibit their manners-like they would in school.
    • In my opinion, the most important part it to, make sure they understand since they are behind a screen, they are still responsible for how they act!

  1. I really like the design on your blog Cassie. I think the layout of your blog makes readers more drawn to it. I agree with you that it is important for teachers to teach our students proper internet safety so they will carry it with them.
