Thing #11 - Digital Citizenship

First of all, I'd emphasize the importance of not sharing personal information on the internet in order to practice internet safety.

Second, I will tell them to make sure that the sources they access online for research are accurate and current by teaching them how to evaluate websites.

Third, I would teach them the importance of internet etiquette.

Fourth, I would teach them the importance of digital security. In other words, students need to know that their computers need to be protected from viruses and their files need to be backed up and saved.

Fifth, I would teach them the importance of digital law. They need to know that information on the web is copyrighted and cannot be copied. They also need to know that it is illegal to hack other user's nformation or download videos and music without permission or payment.
