"Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use." - Mike Ribble
The word digital citizenship can be broken down into two main words, digital and citizenship. If we look at the work citizenship, then Mike Ribble's quote makes absolute sense. To be a citizen means to have both rights and responsibilities. To be a digital citizen means to have both rights and responsibilities via the internet.
There are two groups of people that students see the most in their teenage years, their parents and their teachers. It is up to these two groups to prepare students for the responsibilities of being a digital citizen.
According to the text, there are four major areas were improper use of technology can arise. These areas are grouped as either societal, educational, cultural, and legal (Roblyer & Doering, 2013, p.13). Just as students are told what is right and wrong as a legal citizen, students also need to be told what is right and wrong as a digital citizen. In other terms, there is no difference from talking inappropriately or typing inappropriately.
I have found that visuals tend to help with relaying information to the outside world, so I have conveniently created a zooming powerpoint known as a Prezi. This Prezi can be used by either teachers or parents alike.

I have also included a web source on Digital Citizenship.

My presentation is a brief overview of the the ways that technology can used justly or unjustly. It mentions how to implement the THINK model for social networking and the consequences for unethical conduct via social networking.
Below is the embedded version of the Prezi.

Technology doesn't have to be an issue in society! Educate the young ones on digital citizenship! #ED505UWARAY— Brad Tanner (@tennessee1970) July 27, 2013
Hey Brad nice post on the break down on digital citizenship. However, I think you should have referenced sources and stuff. Simply because its a requirement. I don't know if you are doing yours different. Just trying to help.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!!! The things we take on roadtrips now are the iPads, Siri, and sometimes GPS. The technology today has made us depend so much on it, I don't know if I could imagine living no other way. Great post!
