  3. Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship • Digital Access: full participation and equal access of technology for all students (utilizing technology to meet the needs of students with special needs and making technology accessible to the community) • Digital Commerce: the electronic buying and selling of goods (teaching students how to be online consumers and understand potential consequences such as fraud and scams when providing personal information) • Digital Communication: the electronic exchange of information (using texting, cell phones, and social networking appropriately and helping students understand that their information may be in cyberspace for anyone to view)

  4. What is Digital Citizenship? • Being safe and responsible when using technology • Being a good citizen when using technology • Understanding technology and its potential consequences if used inappropriately

  5. Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship • Digital Literacy: the process of teaching and learning about technology and its use (teaching students appropriate verse inappropriate use, digital basics, and how to evaluate resources) • Digital Etiquette: standard of conduct when using technology (respecting others, use of technology should not affect others negatively, and using technology in appropriate situations) • Digital Law: the electronic responsibility for actions and deeds (knowing what is illegal and legal, understanding what is inappropriate to share, and understanding consequences of actions)

  6. Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship • Digital Rights and Responsibilities: requirements and freedoms of everyone in the digital world (right of ownership and free speech, as well as understanding boundaries, rules, laws, acceptable use policies, etc.) • Digital Health and Wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a world of technology (ergonomically sound equipment and understanding health effects such as posture, eye strain, and Internet/video game addiction) • Digital Security: taking precautions to ensure safety (hardware, network, and personal security-firewalls, encryptions, passwords, etc.)

  7. Don’t Snooze on Legislation The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) has requirements for schools that are receiving discounts for Internet access through the E-rate program, a program that makes certain communications and products more affordable for certain schools and libraries • Requirements include Internet safety policies that include technology protection measures and monitoring the on-line activities of minors, as well as educating minors about appropriate on-line behavior • Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act (2008) made the added provision about appropriate on-line behavior in social networks and behavior such as cyber-bullying . School boards need to update Internet Use Policies to address how they are teaching Internet safety including topics such as cyber-bullying and digital citizenship The Pennsylvania Safe Schools Act (PASS Act) was introduced recently to the House of Representatives. The goal is to promote prevention, remediation, awareness, and reporting of bullying incidents, which include cyber-bullying

  8. The Teacher’s Role • Understand legislation, as well as your own district/school’s policies • Educate children on proper use of technology in and out of the classroom • Teach students how to evaluate their choices and the effects of their decisions • Promote respect and responsibility at all times and educate students about cyber-bullying • Educate students on how their actions leave “virtual footprints” that can affect their future

  9. The Student’s Role • Realize that their decisions have lasting effects for themselves and others around them • Be careful with personal information such as full name, address, phone number, and social security number • Make sure that their online behavior reflects good values and doesn’t impede on their reputation • Respect others by supporting anti-bullying behavior and reporting cyber-bullying
