The digital world advances every year with new technological releases. I think right now the best way is to remain in the know of what is going on digitally. I say this because it allows for one to use it as a tool to aid in being a successful digital citizen. It also helps with being responsible, awareness, and critical thinking. When being interactive online it is important that one exhibits moral, empathetic behavior. We are in a time where we can communicate with so many people around the world that it is easy to be behind the screen and show a stranger the absolute worse side of you. Being kind online goes a very far way for all those involved. My biggest advice for students is use social media as a networking tool even outside of LinkedIn. This should be an opportunity where they are communicating with others their age and able to build a safe image for themselves. Maybe they use this as a time to learn more about post secondary education and other students that are looking at that as well.

Respectful: Communicates kindly online and respects others’ opinions and work.

Responsible: Uses technology appropriately, follows rules, and manages screen time.

Safe: Protects personal information and understands online privacy and security.

Ethical: Gives credit to sources, avoids plagiarism, and uses digital content legally.

Critical thinker: Evaluates information online and recognizes misinformation.

Explicitly teach digital citizenship skills by modeling respectful online behavior, discussing online safety, and practicing how to evaluate sources and credit creators.

Set clear expectations and routines for technology use in the classroom, including guidelines for communication, collaboration, and responsible use of digital tools.

Students who are good digital citizens should be able to navigate the online world with ease, understanding, and inclusivity. For ease, students should be able to adapt and take risks in trying out new digital landscapes, but should be cautious and familiar enough to remain safe. For understanding, students should be able to evaluate a site or digital landscape and determine whether or not it is safe and valid in its information. And as for inclusivity, students should be aware of how their online presence can harm and help other people and communities, and how they can be proactive about how they are inclusive online. Two things I can do to help my students become good digital citizens is to hold a lesson about how to identify valid and safe sources, such as the differences between a dot com and a dot org in their legitimacy, and to hold a lesson discussing how they can make sure that they are not being left out or leaving anyone out in their digital space. By having lessons in a class, students can learn the information the same way they learn math or reading, and can be evaluated for how they best understand how to be a good digital citizen.

A good digital citizen is someone who is respectful, responsible, and aware of how their actions affect others online. They think before they post, protect their privacy, and use technology in positive, meaningful ways. They also know how to spot unreliable information and stay safe in digital spaces. To help my students become good digital citizens, I can model healthy online behavior during class activities and open up honest conversations about real-life digital situations they may face. I can also incorporate short, engaging lessons on topics like online safety, kindness, and media literacy so they feel as though they have a better grasp on accessing the online world.

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen should be able to look at information online and be able to determine whether it is truthful or not. That can be through simple deduction or further research into the subject matter. It is important that anyone online is able to go beyond what they see first and understand things more deeply, especially with the sheer amount of misinformation and the use of clickbait. They should use these skills to spread truth and kindness online. When engaging with anyone online, they should be respectful and cognizant of the consequences of their words. To help my future students be good digital citizens, I can teach them research methods that will help them dive more deeply into anything they want to know more about. It is vital that they know where to find quality and accurate information. I can also emphasize the effect of negative words in online spaces. Students need to understand how their words can affect others even if those words are just posted online.

Responsibility and respectfulness are the foundational principles of quality citizenship. Digital citizenship is no exception. Taking accountability of ones own actions is what it means to be to be digitally responsible. This is attained through a firm understanding of the power and ability of internet usage. Teaching my students to understand all that the internet is capable of, and all that they are capable of through the internet, and how to navigate these capabilities safely is how I will establish this in them. Understanding the consequences of their internet usage on others is what it means to be digitally respectful. Informing my students of how their actions could potentially effect others, as well as informing them of the consequences of unethical internet usage, should do well to set them up for digital respectfulness.

# data[].attributes.body
Qualities of a good digital citizen are being responsible and safe with all aspects of technology. Both of these things go with teachers and students. Teachers need to be responsible and safe with what they are showing the students with technology, and the students need to be responsible and safe with what they are looking at on their computers. One way to help students be good digital citizens is to have restrictions on some websites that can be distracting or websites that they just don't need to have access to. Another way to teach them to be good digital citizens is to teach them how to be professional with technology early on, with emails and such.

# data[].attributes.body
Some good qualities of a digital citizen are being kind and respectful to others. Technology is rapidly growing and we are constantly learning more about it, so it is important to not misuse for harmful purposes. A lot of people use technology to say or do things they would say or do in person, such as criticizing or making fun of a person. In this way, the internet becomes a way of hiding oneself from others. I disagree with this and think that as digitial citizens, we should act the same way we would act to other people we see in person.

Two things I can do to help my students be good digital citizens are to model being a good digital citizens and to share stories of the effects of people not being good digital citizens. Since my students will see me as an authority figure, it's important for me to model how I want them act. Moreover, letting them see the harm poor digital citizenship can lead to will encourage to be good digital citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
The proper use of technology requires good digital citizens to practice responsibility together with respect and maintain safety protocols. They will safeguard their personal data effectively while analyzing shared information critically, and they will show respect with kindness toward people both online and offline. A good digital citizen uses technology to learn through positive collaboration with others who share their knowledge and ideas in a responsible manner. Teachers demonstrate proper technology use through their own behavior while teaching students to find trustworthy information and proper online interaction methods. Through their lessons teachers teach students digital literacy and instruct them to detect authentic and fabricated news while providing strategies to handle online bullying and guiding responsible digital presence management.

Being a digital citizen can be an amazing experience, but it also comes with some limitations and challenges. I believe we should teach children to use their digital tools and devices in a safe way, and responsible way. There are places on the internet with really cool things and ways to see what your friends are doing, or supporting or even starting businesses online. But the internet is also filled with the same evils and pitfalls that our everyday world has. It is important to remember to think before you post something or think before you reply to something. Especially in today’s world we see things we may not agree with on the internet everyday but it is a human decency necessity to think about the consequences of something you post or comment on. Think about family, friends, coworkers seeing what you post. That could leave an impression that you don’t want for yourself, being responsible with technology is knowing when it is right or not quite right to use.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen include being responsible, safe, and a critical thinker. Good digital citizens make sure to use technology in safe and appropriate ways where they treat others kindly and avoid harmful comments. They also make sure to protect their personal information and make sure to check online information for accuracy, reliability, and bias. To help your students be good digital citizens, you can model and teach online safety as well as integrate digital citizenship lessons. Make sure you are showing students how to protect their passwords and how to recognize unsafe websites. You can embed discussions about respect, credibility of resources, and ethical technology use into everyday classroom activities.

# data[].attributes.body
A quality of a good digital citizen is someone who is responsible and respectful. These students are aware of how their digital actions can affect themselves and others that interact with them. These students also know how to interact with others kindly. A good digital citizen is also a student who is informed. These students are critically thinking when it comes to the validity of websites they come across. A third quality is a student who is balanced. These students know how to prioritize their time between virtual and physical activities. Presenting each of these qualities students will form a digital environment that is safe for everyone.

As an educator we must first, model how to use technology in an appropriate way, giving students clear expectations. We can also create class rules for using technology. We can make these rules as a class so that students feel a sense of ownership.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a good digital citizen means thinking before posting, respecting intellectual property, and practicing safety for oneself and others. One of the ways I can help students be good digital citizens is by showing them the importance of passwords and not sharing this information with other students or anyone who is not their parent/guardian. If my students are in high school I would also encourage and show on popular or necessary websites/software how to enable 2-factor authentication. Additionally, I could help students be aware of what intellectual property is and the importance of copyright, what fair use is, etc. These are two ways that helps students navigate digital devices that encourages safety and respect.

Being a good digital citizen is someone who not only uses technology safely, but also responsibly and ethically to navigate the Internet. One good quality of a digital citizen is that they translate the Golden Rule (treating others the way you wanna be treated) from in person to online and avoid any cyberbullying. Another quality is that they are aware of the security concerns that can arise from the web; because of this, they tend to use strong passwords and are cautious about what they share online. A way to help students become their own good digital citizens would be to encourage online empathy and have them really think about the words they post before they potentially regret it. Another way would be to emphasize how important it is to validate a source's credibility and to make informed decisions about what they read/share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

A good digital citizen demonstrates responsibility, respect, and critical thinking online. This includes protecting personal information, treating others kindly, and using technology ethically. Two ways I can help my students be good digital citizens are by modeling positive online behavior myself and teaching them practical skills, such as evaluating reliable sources and practicing safe online communication. By incorporating digital citizenship into lessons, I can show students how technology connects to real life and why it matters. My goal is to help them become thoughtful, safe, and respectful participants in the digital world.

One quality of a good digital citizen is that they are empathetic and realize what they do on the internet can positively or negatively impact someone else. Another quality is that a good digital citizen has critical thinking skills they can use to determine if information on the internet is true or not. They also use critical thinking skills to choose to share certain information.

Some things I can do to teach my students to be good digital citizens is to educate them on online safety and the importance of protecting their personal information. I also can teach them how to interact with others online in a respectful manner.

# data[].attributes.body
Having good digital citizenship means, most importantly, to treat others online in a kind manner. Treating them the same as you would in face-to-face interactions. It also means to protect your personal information and always be cautious of what you share online. It is also good practice to always keep in mind the idea of using devices and online resources in a way that is always helpful and never harmful. Making sure that the content you see online is always questioned. Check sources and avoid contributing to the spread of false information. As a teacher, we can model and act out scenarios about online situations. This could be like receiving a mean message, seeing fake news, or deciding what is okay to post or comment. This can help students practice safe and respectful choices in a comfortable space. Another way teachers can support this is by setting class norms for technology use. A teacher can create a "Digital Citizenship Agreement" together on a bulletin board. It can outline expectations for kindness, privacy, and responsibility when using devices.

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen uses technology to stay informed but uses it in a respectful and inclusive way. They communicate with others in a respectful manner. They do not participate in cyberbullying and stay away from harmful and illegal websites. As a teacher we are here to inform and teach our students. Technology is a crucial part of todays world and we need to teach students how to use it as a tool and not too abuse it. Teachers can teach students how to be respectful to others online and not use hateful language or engage in online hate. Teachers can also help students be safe online and use strong passwords. Teachers can help students avoid websites that have scams and show them to use technology in an educational way.

Being a good digital citizen means practicing respect, safety, and responsibility in all online interactions. This week’s reading identified the “DigCit Competencies” as being balanced, informed, inclusive, engaged, and alert—qualities that are essential to embrace in any digital environment. These traits help guide you to use technology in thoughtful and positive ways. It is also important to remember that online actions leave a lasting impact. As explained in this week's video, every post, comment, or share contributes to a permanent digital footprint, so making mindful choices online ensures that one’s presence reflects integrity and contributes positively to the digital community.

As an educator, I want to model safe and beneficial uses of technology throughout my classroom. By focusing on the “do’s” rather than the “don’ts,” I can demonstrate to my students how technology can be a positive and supportive tool. This approach not only shows them how to use technology responsibly but also highlights the many ways it can enhance their education and everyday lives.

Students need to be able to manage their behavior, have safe habits, and respect the property of others when it comes to digital citizenship. Some qualities of a good digital citizen is being balanced, informed, inclusive, engaged, and alert. There are many things you can do to help your students become good digital citizens. You want to provide your students with a list of do’s rather than a list of “don’ts”. You want to model and practice skills. One specific thing you can do in your classroom is to teach students to be kind to other people online. When you hurt somebody online, it stays there forever. It is important to teach students to be appropriate online. For example, you can do an activity where students share their rules to protect their digital footprint online. After they post, you can teach students how to share, like, reply and more to other student’s comments. Make students practice being a good digital citizen by commenting something nice about another person's rule. Another thing you can do to teach students to be good digital citizens is teaching them how to give proper credit when using somebody else’s work. Teachers need to teach students their rights and responsibilities as creators.

A good digital citizen is respectful, responsible, and safe when using technology. They protect their personal information, communicate kindly, and follow rules for appropriate online behavior. They also think critically about what they see and share online. To help students become good digital citizens, teachers can model positive online behavior and create lessons that teach digital safety, privacy, and respectful communication.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen are being respectful, using critical thinking online, and using social media responsibly. They will completely avoid posting any personal information online, and also avoid posting anything that could reveal the information of others. For example, posting photos of their house for strangers on the internet to see or posting pictures of forms of identification (e.g., driver's License). Furthermore, they will show respect for differentiating opinions online, even if they do not agree. Though it may seem like a knee-jerk reaction at first, good digital citizens will engage in a respectful and learning type of online discussion, rather than one that ends with personal insults being thrown around.

As a teacher, two things I would do to help my students be good digital citizens are modeling as a role model and using technology in the class to show students proper use.

A good digital citizen shows responsibility, respect, and critical thinking while using technology. They communicate nicely, protect their personal information, and practice safe behavior online. Good digital citizens also recognize reliable sources, avoid plagiarism, and contribute positively to online communities. To help students become good digital citizens, teachers can first model appropriate online behavior. They do this by showing how to interact respectfully and responsibly in digital spaces. Second, they can provide detailed instruction and guided practice on topics such as internet safety, digital footprints, and finding and evaluating reliable sources. This prepares students to navigate technology confidently and responsibly in school and beyond.

Being a good digital citizen means you are responsible, respectful and ethical. Using technology properly and making smart decision when using technology is so important, especially in this generation. Treating others with respect can help avoid cyberbullying and being ethical just means you're citing your sources and never stealing ideas from other people. One thing I believe I can do to help my students aim at being good digital citizens is to incorporate lessons on digital literacy and how to be safe on the internet. I can also model what a good digital citizen looks like so they have an example of how they should be acting.

# data[].attributes.body
Qualities of a good digital citizen include staying informed, balanced, and alert. It is important for students to identify false information on social media as well as for them to keep a healthy balance of real life activities and virtual reality. Keeping students alert on online safety will allow them to use technology for positive things. To help my students, I will incorporate technology into the classroom with assignments so that students can understand how to use it. I can also have a positive online status so that my students can have an example of being a good digital citizen

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen is aware, respectful, and responsible. They understand and consider the consequences of posting anything online, whether it is good or bad. This includes being careful not to post anything too personal or offensive to others. They are mindful of the content that they are consuming and using, so that they can give credit where it is deserved. They know to be aware of what they are agreeing to share, including things that are hiddenin the fine print.

To help my students become good citizens, the first thing I will do is become a good example. Something I am guilty of is agreeing to the terms and conditions without reading them. I am going to do better and share with my students the importance of this improvement. Another thing I will do is have them practice positive feedback. Much like we do on these discussion posts, encouraging positive online interactions would positively improve their online behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Qualities of a good digital citizen include being informed, responsible, respectful, and safe. When online, it is important to be aware of false information and have critical thinking skills to navigate through the web. It is also important to be responsible for the information that you are taking in and sharing. Social media can be a great communication tool, but also harmful. Being safe online includes being aware of who you are talking to and what you are saying. The most important aspect of digital citizenship is being kind and respectful to every other person online. To guide my students to be good digital citizens, I can model online etiquette and teach them the qualities that make a reliable source.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a good digital citizen includes being respectful of the spaces and platforms you are using and being respectful to who you are interacting with, ethical with what you post, and understand the everlasting footprint of digital media.  In addition, being a good digital citizen requires five competencies – balanced, informed, inclusive, engaged, and alert. If a person uses online spaces while maintaining these key factors, they should have a pleasant time using online media. Two things I can help my students do is 1) to have students do a constructive feedback sandwich, and 2) have them research something of interest to them and provide reputable sources that they found and can rely on. I would have students post a playing video (on their instrument, I’m music education) and have students go comment on one of their peers’ posts with a positive comment, one thing they can do better, and another positive comment, making a sandwich! Then, I think that a big part of digital citizenship is being able to tell if information is reputable or not, so that is where my second idea comes from.

As a music teacher, I believe a good digital citizen shows respect, responsibility, and awareness when using online tools. They understand the importance of copyright, communicate kindly, and understand, ethically, that the must be courteous when sharing or creating music.

To help students become good digital citizens, I will always model. This includes being respectful of your sources, citing sources when using online music resources, and encouraging collaboration during projects. I also teach students how to evaluate digital content and respect others’ work, ensuring they use platforms like Soundtrap or YouTube responsibly. These lessons prepare students to be thoughtful and responsible both online and offline.

This includes hateful speech, spreading rumors, posting about other people, etc. To help students be a good digital citizen, teachers can model appropriate online behavior, such as citing sources and communicating respectfully. Technology can be a wonderful and beneficial source when used correctly and politely. They can also provide information and instruction and on topics like online safety, evaluating credible information, and understanding digital footprints.

A good digital citizen is responsible and respectful. They consider what they post on social media/send into the digital universe not only for their own good, but for the good of others who may consume their content as well. A good digital citizen engages in conversation with a friendly, understanding tone and does not engage in or instigate cyberbullying. This is super important to think about, especially in a school environment. As a future teacher, I can do a couple things to help my students become good digital citizens. I will model respectful behavior in my classroom and teach my students how to act appropriately, be kind, and respect everyone's opinions, regardless of whether or not they agree or disagree. I will also teach source citing - something that's important for credibility and avoiding plagiarism.

# data[].attributes.body

This means engaging in friendly and constructive conversations, avoiding cyberbullying, and keeping your personal info safe. It also means respecting copyrights and giving credit where it's due.

To help students become good digital citizens, teachers can directly teach them about digital citizenship, covering online safety, good behavior, and how to communicate responsibly. Teachers can also demonstrate how to avoid plagiarism by properly citing sources and how to fact check information before sharing it, setting a good example.

# data[].attributes.body
I think being a good digital citizen comes down to a couple things. First, being aware of what you post online and how it may make others feel or how it makes you perceived by others. Secondly, how you respond to others through social media and online. It is very common nowadays for people to hate on others because it is through a screen but it can hurt someone so much. Being weary and preventing that behavior is being a good digital citizen. Lastly, being able to respect yourself online is big. What I mean by this is how important it is to manage your time online because it can be detrimental to you and your mental health.

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen demonstrates responsibility, respect, and ethical behavior when using technology. This includes protecting personal information, communicating respectfully, citing sources properly, and thinking about the accuracy and reliability of online content. Good digital citizens also recognize the long-term impact of their digital footprint and want to use technology in positive and productive ways. As a future teacher, I can help my students become good digital citizens by modeling these behaviors myself and teaching them strategies for evaluating online sources and engaging respectfully with others. I can also create structured opportunities, like group projects or class discussions in digital platforms, that allow students to practice safe and responsible online behavior in real contexts. This way, they not only learn the rules but also apply them in meaningful ways.

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen demonstrates respect, responisibility and safety in all online interactions. This includes using kind and appropriate language, protecting personal information and others' privacy, evaluating information critically and giving proper credit when using someone else's work. Good digital citizens also understand the importance of balance, mangaing screen time and using technology in ways that benefit both themselves and their community.

To help my students become good citizens, I can create meaningful opportunities for them to practice these skills in the classroom. For example, I can incorporate collaborative online projects where students learn to communicate respectfully and share resources responsibly. I can also design lessons on topics such as cyber safety, digital footprints and ethical research, encouraging students to reflect on the impact of their choices online. By providing guided practice and open discussions, I can support students in building the habits of safe, respectful and ethical digital participation.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to be a good digital citizen, you must do a couple of things. To begin, you must model key components of digital citizenship, such as respectful online interactions and responsible actions. Along with this, you must promote positivity and integrity in any online action. As stated in the readings, a list of rules does not really work for this. You must be a a good role model and show your students empathetic and credible online practices. Along with this, you must never condone negative and harmful interactions online. Whatever happens on the internet has a high probability of being there forever.

Teachers can facilitate this behavior in a couple of ways. To begin, they can always use these practices in their own online actions. For instance, if a teacher has a social media profile, they can be a respectful and tasteful user. Secondly, they can encourage these actions in their classrooms. If a teacher uses online platforms, they can enforce and monitor their students actions and inform them on how to be more intelligent online users.

# data[].attributes.body
I think being a good digital citizen really comes down to being respectful, responsible, and careful about what we put online. Once something is posted, it can be hard to take back, so it’s important to think before sharing or commenting. Being a good digital citizen also means protecting your own privacy and respecting the privacy of others, as well as avoiding harmful things like cyberbullying or spreading false information. I also think balance is important—spending too much time online can hurt our mental health.

Two ways I would help my students practice good digital citizenship are by teaching them how to recognize reliable sources and by encouraging them to treat others kindly in digital spaces.

# data[].attributes.body
To be a good digital citizen, it is important to respect yourself and others when using online platforms. You can do this by watching what you post, because as my high school principal taught me, “When it’s out there, it’s out there.” Additionally, you can be sure to engage in positive dialogue with others, specifically when commenting on or sharing others’ social media posts.

Two things to help my students be good digital citizens include teaching them to be critical thinkers about online content they see and to balance how often they’re on social media. Many people believe everything they see, which can be a bad practice because that’s how misinformation is spread. Additionally, encouraging my students to live in the everyday and not their entire life online can help them better appreciate the world around them.

# data[].attributes.body
A good digital citizen shows respect, responsibility, and integrity online. They understand the importance of protecting personal information and also respecting the privacy of others. Good digital citizens also avoid harmful online behaviors, like cyberbullying or spreading misinformation. They should also think critically about the credibility of things online and practice empathy with others online.

Teachers can support digital citizenship by modeling what responsible online behavior looks like, such as how to fact check and avoid plagiarism. Teachers can also integrate explicit instruction on digital citizenship into lesson plans. This could be a structured activity where students analyze someone else's digital footprint to learn about the effect of choices on the internet. I think students should just be provided with the opportunities to practice safe and ethical technology use.

# data[].attributes.body
To be a good digital citizen, it is important to be mindful about our online presence. Everything we do online - commenting, liking, reposting, or creating content - can all be traced to us and has real effects on our lives and the lives of other people. Making sure that whatever we put online is appropriate, safe, and respectful is a must for good digital citizenship.

Additionally, it is important to remember to keep some balance in our online lifestyle. Spending too much time on one platform can be detrimental to our mental health.

To help my students be good digital citizens, it is of course important to illustrate all the concerns written above. Furthermore, I really liked the way that the students in the video took a hands-on approach by looking at their phone settings and investigating their digital footprint and the access that their apps had to their privacy information. Being able to apply these concepts to their own lives is a crucial step in educating students on digital citizenship.

# data[].attributes.body
Some qualities of a good digital citizen including having a healthy balance between time spent online, and time spent away from technology, being informed and aware of the dangers, validity, and safety of their actions online as well as others, and being inclusive and respectful towards perspectives different from their own. It also is important to engage with technology in a positive way that serves to be a good influence on the community and the activities being participated in.

Two ways to help my students be good digital citizens is to make students aware of the lasting impact of their digital footprint, informing them on how to make good, ethical online decisions that uphold their privacy, as well as teaching students to be respectful of the rights and rules behind using online intellectual property.

Some qualities of a good digital citizenship is being respectful with what you post online. This includes more than your physical posts, but also your comments and what you repost/ like. People can be very bold with thier interactions online, and it is important to have an open mindset and stay positive.

I would influence my students to keep a good digitcal citizenship by modeling it myself. I also would set rules and expectations in my classroom that I hope would get mirrored outside of my class. When working with middle school, I would introduce the idea of a "digital footprint" as this is when most kids start posting on their own and scrolling on social medias. Making this awareness is important for students to understand what the internet can truly do.

There are a variety of qualities that make someone a good digital citizen. Some of these qualities are being and remaining responsible, being respectful of themselves and others, and making safe internet choices and decisions. Good digital citizens protect their personal information and identity, treat others kindly, and think about the kind of content they are engaging in. A good digital citizen also uses appropriate language and does not spread misinformation.

Two things I can do to help my students be good digital citizens are to set rules and expectations at the beginning of the school year and discuss them every time before using the internet. I will also make sure students understand that a ‘digital footprint’ is very real, and that is why we need to be careful and cautious on the internet.

Qualities of a good digital citizen consist of being respectful when posting or responding to someone, using appropriate language, and respecting other people's privacy. Another quality of a good digital citizen is not spreading misinformation.

One thing I would help my students with how to be good digital citizens is being respectful. Which means no inappropriate language, no bullying, and respecting people’s opinions whether you agree with them or not. Another thing is teaching students how to manage their privacy online. For example, social media apps can track and there is a setting to turn it off if you do not feel comfortable with it.

A good digital citizen is able to use technology and be online in a way that is safe and respectful. They are able to interact online with others in a way that is inclusive and safe for both parties, and positive. and accurate. Simply put, their online interactions are good for themselves and those who interact with them.

In my classroom, I will be sure to implement several things to help my students be good digital citizens. One way is by talking about bullying and cyberbullying. This helps them to understand how their words have power, even when behind a screen. I also like the idea of them writing out how to be a good digital citizen so they know exactly what that means. This includes things like giving credit, what having privacy and safety online looks like, and how to interact with other people online.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen consists of respect for themselves as well as others, they think before they post/share, they balance their screen time well, communicate kindly with others, they protect their privacy, they are alert and avoid suspicious links online, etc.

Some ways I can influence my students to be good digital citizens would be by modeling and demonstrating how to be respectful to those online. This could consist of using our tablets together and writing encouraging comments to our peers after we complete an assignment. Another way to influence good digital citizenship would be by teaching them how to give credit where credit is due. If they are choosing to use quotes or images from online, then they need to be able to insure that they are giving credit to that person or author. This can also be taught by modeling and practicing together as a class.

# data[].attributes.body
Some qualities of a good digital citizen are being informed and alert. This means that good digital citizens know what is appropriate and not appropriate to post online. They know how to keep private information safe and secure. A good digital citizen will recognize when something violates online safety and online etiquette and they will take action. I can teach students explicitly how to maintain appropriate safety boundaries and privacy when posting online. I will explicitly review that online posts are permanent even if you think you've deleted them.

Qualities of a Good Digital Citizen

A digital citizen who behaves well online demonstrates respect while taking responsibility for their actions and showing consideration for others. The individual understands methods to safeguard their personal details while staying away from cyberbullying and uses technology for educational purposes and constructive social connections. People who exhibit good digital citizenship evaluate their online content before sharing it because they understand its potential impact on others.

Helping Students Become Good Digital Citizens

I will demonstrate positive online conduct to students through my respectful and responsible classroom and digital platform interactions. The second approach involves teaching students about digital literacy through lessons that show them how to find reliable sources and recognize false information.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen are respectful communication and using thoughtful and appropriate language. Keeping personal information safe and respecting other people's privacy. Another quality is having good critical thinking skills to evaluate online sources and other information for accuracy before sharing it. One thing teachers can do to help students be good digital citizens is to model how to have online etiquette. This could involve teaching students how to write politely and respectfully, while also role-playing scenarios to practice responding to misinformation or information with which they disagree. Another thing teachers can do to show students how to be good digital citizens is to teach them about the safety and ethics behind using technology. This means teaching them how to protect their passwords and personal information, as well as how to correctly cite sources.

A good digital citizen is informed about the sources of information, is inclusive by treating everyone with respect, is engaged in constructive online communities, and is alert to dangers such as unsafe behavior or misinformation. Teachers can model safe and respectful online behavior and teach digital citizenship lessons that promote critical thinking and responsible decision-making to help students develop into excellent digital citizens.
