Digital Citizenship refers to a maintaining
suitable and conscientious behavior when using technology. In observance of the
“nine elements”, which seem very similar to the “ten commandments” or the constitution,
citizens agree to follow the nine elements’ regulations that include in detail
the rights of users, acceptable conduct, legal and illegal behaviors, and precautionary
advise. Users are taught what etiquette
is appropriate online and told that they each have a right to participate in electronic
society.
The behaviors that are discussed
seemed all to familiar to those that are already taught to students each day.
We already prepare lessons that teach students to control their behavior, not
talk to strangers, not give out their personal information, not to bully
others, and much more. It is only logical that the same rules be applied to
students, whether they are on the internet or functioning in society. Teachers
can use the nine elements to develop lesson plans that will teach their
students the importance of digital citizenship.
