Emphasize that there are many facets to Digital Citizenship including digital access, digital commerce, digital etiquette (a.k.a. netiquette), digital communication, digital literacy, digital law, digital rights & responsibilities, digital health & wellness, and digital security . Many can be grouped into larger subcategories such as the 4 listed here.

Classroom application?

Where to begin?
Not all areas of digital citizenship can or should be address in the classroom setting. However, as technology becomes more and more prevalent in the classroom, it is important to address three of these areas.

Educators are working to more effectively integrate technology into the classroom. Teachers may be at different points of the SAMR model with their implementation of digital tools. Digital devices of all types will become as familiar to 21st Century Learners as a pencil was to students in the past. With that in mind, it is critical for educators to teach students the correct way to USE technology so that they can collaborate, communicate, and connect in a safe and responsible manner.

Digital Footprint

Share with a neighbor what that means to you
First aspect of digital citizenship to focus on with students.

What makes up a digital footprint?

  • Everything you post!
  • Videos
  • Photos
  • Emails
  • Text messages
  • Anything that is transmitted online!
Most students (and even adults) do not realize the lasting effects of their actions online. Anything we enter, post, submit, research, and comment on is permanently recorded in cyberspace. Most children and teenagers do not realize that they are forming a digital footprint that can impact their future with things like college admissions and job applications.

Once it's posted online...it's there forever!

Effective Questions

to ask Students
We can teach students to "THINK" before posting. Asking effective questions such as these will spur some great conversation and give students some things to ponder before posting, commenting, or creating something they may regret later.

You can show the video clip from http://www.cybersmart.gov.au/Indigenous/I%20need%20to%20know%20about/Digita...

This webpage features the tagline "Online business is everyone's business." This concept and the idea that everything you post comes back to you like a boomerang is a great way to help kids think about how what they say and do on the internet may affect them for good or ill in the future.

Posting to the internet is like squeezing a tube of toothpaste...

Kids need a visual to help them understand the more abstract concept of a digital footprint.

Once it's out there, you can never get it back in the tube.

Teachers could also perform this with a real tube of toothpaste with students to make a greater impression and spur some rich discussion about what kinds of things they may wish they could take back once they were posted.

Intellectual Property

If it's on the internet it's free right?
Second aspect of digital citizenship to cover with students.

Ideas, images, videos, or other media that is available on the internet belongs to the those who posted them.

PLAGIARISM Lesson

Helping kids make the connection
Ask students to draw a picture of something specific but instruct them NOT to put their names on their papers. Tell them that it will be used for something important like the cover of a book, slideshow, etc. When all students are done, have them hand their paper to the person on the right. Whatever paper they end up with after the trade, they sign their name on. Then all papers are submitted. The teacher looks through and picks out a few of the "top contenders." Show the class and really build up these top few - praising the artist who signed the paper (who is actually NOT the artist) on a job well done. The teacher asks that student all about their inspiration and use of color, etc. Wait for fellow student's or the actual artist's reaction to another child being given credit for work they didn't actually create. Talk about how that relates to taking images off the internet and why it is important to give credit where credit is due.

Cite Sources

Teach kids how to
Teachers can teach kids how to use filters on search engines such as Google to find images that are not copyright protected. When searching Google for an image, click on "images" to bring up all the images under that search. Then on the top menu bar, click "search tools" and then "usage rights." It will bring up a menu of options for searching depending on how the image is to be used.

Students can also include a citation page or slide to presentations with the web address where the information or images were found. If a specific name was listed on the original source, that should be included in the citation information.
