Becoming a Digital Citizen (Thing 5)
I just finished watching a video entitled "The nine elements of digital citizenship. It was interesting to see that there was more in the video to do with safety and etiquette than only what you can do online. I believe that everyone who gets online whether it is for research or communicating with others should learn and understand the nine elements. Students, especially, should have a firm foundation on all nine elements so they can be productive and safe. Teachers should know the health and wellness aspects so they can put them into practice and inform students and others. Parents should know about the digital rights and responsibility so that they can follow the laws of the web. They can also pass on this value to their children.
