I feel like being a good digital citizen includes being respectful to everyone online, no matter the content.

I think it is important to impart on students the impact that their online conduct has, as there is a degree of permanence to every social media post, comment, all of which can affect other people, and impact them in the future. Another thing that I think is important about being a good digital citizen is being responsible with your information and data. Many people will blindly click “Accept” on Terms and Conditions without reading them, unaware of what they are giving companies access to. Additionally, I think that the discussion of citing information and resources when using them is an important one to have, as many students unintentionally commit plagiarism, something which can have large consequences later in life.

Being a good digital citizen encompasses many qualities, but most importantly respect. This can include using kind and inclusive language on all posts. Also, ensuring students know that technology should be used for positive interactions, not to tear others down.

Two ways to help my students be good digital citizens is giving good examples of how to interact online, along with the importance your digital footprint. Students must understand that everything they do online can be traced back to them and it stays with them forever. Implementing a good digital footprint helps later down the line when applying for jobs/future education as well. Additionally, teaching them the good examples can give them habits of how to think before posting online. A concept that always comes to my mind is "T.H.I.N.K." Is it true, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind?

I would say that one of the most important qualities of a good digital citizen is awareness of their actions. It's very common for people to interact with others on the internet as if their actions have no consequences. A good digital citizen is as aware of their online actions as their physical ones. That awareness should lead to a complete lack of harmful language/actions and kindness shown to others. One thing I could explain to my students to help them be better digital citizens is that actions through a screen are still actions. Conversing through the medium of a screen often gives people a sense of anonymity or blamelessness, allowing them to be more disrespectful. Something else I can introduce them to is proper use of online resources. Whether it's sources to be used for research or recreational use of the internet, more education about these resources never hurts.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen is being responsible and respectful. Technology can be a tricky thing to navigate but it is important to know how to use it in a professional setting. Being respectful means respecting other peoples opinions and privacy. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions and do what they want with them, but knowing how to agree to disagree and use media as a positive platform is very important. This goes along with being responsible. Technology should be used a positive resource and not a place to express hate. These two things are very important to keep in mind to be a good digital citizen.

Being a good digital citizen is extremely important as a future educator. A good digital citizen leads with respect and kindness when engaging in digital spaces. This means not using derogatory language or engaging in any forms of cyberbullying. As a future educator, I think about if a student were to stumble upon my page and see unfavorable comments or posts. That could normalize that behavior for them because I am meant to be a role model. So I would lead by example and never post anything rude or nasty towards others. I would also encourage them to use kind language in class and online.

There are many qualities of a good digital citizen but I believe one of the most important is respect. Teaching students to respect their peers and teachers and others around them on digital platforms is such an important trait to have in our current times. Teaching respect helps also build a sense of responsibility and integrity, these are admirable traits as students grow, this keeps students using digital platforms correctly and allows them to be accountable for their actions. Knowing and understanding how to use it and that what they put out there in digital form can’t just be deleted it’s out there forever. Some ways to ensure my students are being good digital citizens is teaching them how to credit sources correctly by creating an in classroom experience where they learn by citing one another. This will show them a much more personal value to it. As well another technique is that I will model the behavior and expectations I teach them. But also give them the ability to “call me out” if I were to mess up. This creates a sense of accountability for everyone.

A good digital citizen demonstrates kindness, respect, and responsibility when sharing ideas on any kind of media platform. They understand that when using or posting on media platforms, you leave a digital footprint. Whether a post or comment is deleted or not, you can never be sure that it is completely gone. Good digital citizens post kindly trying not to offend others and their posts or comments are respectful or uplifting. They also respect other people's privacy.

Two things that I can do to help my students be good digital citizens is teach them kindness and teach them how to properly use social media and digital platforms. By creating kind people, we can create good citizens that will build other people up and encourage unity. Additionally, if I teach my students how to use media the correct way I can instill good characteristics in them and also show them that just because something is deleted, does not mean it is gone forever.

A good digital citizen uses their technology to share ideas in a responsible way. When publishing things or interacting with media, it’s important to respect boundaries with your audience and/or peer and collaborators. These citizens hold themselves accountable for the work that they share, as well as the consequences of violating the guidelines of their position as a viewer, collaborator, or creator. This could look like properly giving credit to their sources, responding in a way that is inclusive and non-derogatory, or even mediating discussion. From a teaching point of view, I think we should teach our students to be critical of the things we see consume and promote healthy conversation whether that be digitally or physically. Another important point would be to teach ethical use of the internet, not just by modeling but through practice in online work or discussions.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen include having respectful and responsible use of technology. This means having respectful communication through digital outlets by using kind language and not cyberbullying others on the internet. Responsible use includes using technology appropriately and understanding the vast impact that actions online hold. Two things that I can do to help my students be good digital citizens is to show them how there actions affect others around them.

A good digital citizen is recognized by their awareness and respect for others. They know how to validate and assess information before fully accepting it. In addition, they look out for inequality and disrespect in digital communities and are prepared to reconcile those problems. Finally, practiced digital citizens understand the importance of balance between online and physical activities.

In the future, I can help students become excellent digital citizens by emphasizing research projects and teaching proper research techniques. These techniques are good practice for giving credit to sources and evaluating their credibility. In addition, I could utilize discussion posts and collaborative online assignments. This encourages students to work together respectfully and understand appropriate conduct during group projects. Finally, I would teach lessons designed to show students the permanency of their digital footprint. They could look up a celebrity or friend to examine the depth of background information available. This could encourage students to practice privacy and be conscious of what they share online.

A good digital citizen approaches and interacts with technology in a respectful and kind manner. They are aware of personal information use, communication standards, and appropriate topics. These skills allow a good digital citizen to hear other people's viewpoints and beliefs without disrespecting them. By doing this they are allowing others to feel safe sharing online, and it can foster a good conversation. Understanding how to protect personal information is also crucial, because it protects you and those that have an impact on your life. When information is shared it can broadcast personal topics to everyone, so by keeping the information safe, no one is hurt or exposed. Two things I can help my students with to become good digital citizens is understanding how to interact kindly with others and how to report an issue if found, as well as how to protect private information. This will help to protect my students and others online that they may know. It also aids them in being able to explore topics without fear of rejection or issues. Also, by walking with them through these steps in the classroom, it is something they will have confidence in applying and can help spread the word to others.

Showing respect to all online, being actively aware of the information they consume and share, managing time between real life and the screen, and engaging with technology in positive ways are all important parts of being a good digital citizen.

In order to ensure my students are good digital citizens I would emphasize the importance of keeping track on their digital footprint and implement good digital citizenship ideas into lessons . I would not scare students into not sharing things they are interested in, however I would encourage them to strongly consider if/how this could affect them in different lights, as well as staying aware to what they have already posted online. I would pair this with lessons emphasizing how to positively engage with others. Practicing positive language, digital etiquette, and respectful interactions would be included in these lessons.

Another strategy is to integrate digital literacy lessons into the curriculum, especially when they are learning how to use digital sources to do research.

One extremely important quality of a good digital citizen is to treat people on the internet with respect. I feel like behind a screen on the internet and with technology it is very easy for people to lack respect and common curtsey while communicating with others. Respectful language online is key to being a good digital citizen. Also, it is important to avoid cyberbullying and try to stay positive online. People are going to have different opinions, but it is important to stay focused on your goal or assignment online. One thing I can do to help my future students be good citizens is set ground rules for online work in my classroom. Some of these rules can include no hateful or negative language online, no cyberbullying, respectfully disagreeing, etc. Another thing I can do in my future classroom to ensure my students will be good digital citizens is restricting certain sites. I want to make sure my students are using technology safely and for the right purposes. Because of this, I will prohibit certain websites through the school servers.

They also give credit when using other peoples work and do not cheat. To help my students become better digital citizens, I would talk about online safety and how to treat people with respect online. I would also show them how to tell if a website or post is reliable. Teaching these things early can help them make smart choices when they are online and help them become more careful internet users.

Being a digital citizen in this day and age comes with a heavy list of do's and do not's. Although all the new technology is wonderful, it also comes with a lot of responsibility. Being a good digital citizen includes being courteous online as well as understanding the goals of why you are online in the first place. Being kind online means being aware of the language you are using and who the audience will be. When going online, each person has different opinions which is also why it is important to remember why you are going in the first place. This means being aware of why and who is going to see your post. As a soon to be educator, I plan to educate my students on technology to help them become good digital citizens. This includes teaching them different resources to use online and what they are for as well as teaching them awareness of being online. This includes giving students examples of how a post can effect others. Whether it be for better or wrose, every person takes a piece of what they see online into their everyday life somehow so by educating my students I hope to create a generation of kind online users. If people took more time to consider how what they were posting would affect others I think it would create a different dynamic online.

There are several qualities of a good digital citizen. The first I would say is using technology in a responsible and respectful manner. An example of this would be refraining from and not using technology for any negative purposes like cyberbullying or other inappropriate behaviors. Another quality is the protection of one's personal information and privacy on technology. It is easy to give away too much information on the internet, so it is important to be mindful and protective of that. Another quality would be awareness and mindfulness for what one is sharing, reposting, liking, commenting, etc. on the internet as many of these actions hold consequences if used improperly. Ways that I can help my future students be good digital citizens would be modeling proper technology use. Many students look to their teacher as an example so it is crucial that teacher's are modeling appropriate behavior when it comes to technology use. Another way to help them would be teaching them all of the skills they would need to be fully equipped to properly use technology platforms.

Being a good digital citizen can be hard when the internet is often a negative space. However, to combat that, a good digital citizen utilizes empathy/sympathy; spreading hate/negativity does not help anyone or add to the conversation. A good digital citizen also uses technology for its intended purposes. Lastly, a good digital citizen respects their own privacy by limiting the amount of personal information shared through technology.

As a future teacher, there are multiple ideas I want to implement to promote good digital citizenship. For instance, I want to express the importance of crediting work. Being an English major, this is already something I plan to emphasize; however, I am also a writer, so I know how it would feel to have my work taken and repurposed without my credit. Secondly, I truly do want to emphasize the impacts of negative encounters online. Often, people are embarrassed on the Internet, and we, as social media users, often laugh at videos and make them our newest “meme.” We fail to forget the impact of the person who is, essentially, being laughed at. I want my students to enjoy social media/technology, but not at another person’s expense.

Some qualities of a good digital citizen are being respectful to the rest of the digital community, using technology for its proper purposes, posting/ sharing accurate information, not misleading or spreading misinformation, and more. The reason that respect is important digitally is that, unfortunately, cyberbullying is extremely common and not difficult to encounter. Additionally, using technology for its proper purposes goes along with this. Some things technology can be used for are research, communication, education, and more. Lastly, there is a lot of misinformation that is commonly posted online. However, avoiding misinformation would be very beneficial to both the posters and the viewers. Ultimately, the things you post are very much public, and your digital footprint is very real. Many people see what you post, and you want to make sure what you use technology for is respectful and accurate, especially when it comes to school/ educational purposes. I will make sure my students follow these guidelines by explaining to them why all of these rules are important, rather than just telling them to do them. Then, I will teach them how to use technology so they are very familiar with it and are able to navigate it by themselves.
