What are two things you can do to help your students be good digital citizens? I think people today often say online or in social media what they might have kept to themselves before the information age. This gives the appearance of bullying. So, I would encourage students to always think before they respond or post online. In most cases it is best to not respond if something makes you angry. So, I would encourage students never to go online while they are angry. Angry post might remain forever.

Secondly, I would encourage self-control. That being not only in what we say but in refraining from posting images, pictures, or videos, they may later regret.

As a teacher, there are many things I can do to assist my students in being good digital citizens. The first is teaching students about the dangers of online communities. Primarily, this is a parents' responsibility; but, as an educator, I need to reinforce that cause. Students must safeguard themselves from the dangers that arise. Being knowledgeable about social media apps tracking their position, giving out too much personal information, and sadly posting information and items they may later regret. The world has many dangers and the internet opens up many of those to the unsuspecting.

Next, teaching students to create an inclusive online space is a necessity. Cyberbullying and cyberstalking are pervasive on the internet. If I can assist in building a population of students who respect others, give leave for opinions, and leave judgements aside, then I have done my duty as a teacher.

To help students become good digital citizens, we can incorporate digital literacy lessons into their curriculum, emphasizing safe and ethical online behavior. By showing students a good way versus a bad way to use the internet. Additionally, modeling appropriate digital interactions, such as citing sources and engaging in respectful discussions, can help students develop responsible online habits.

This has been incredibly important with the world we live in.

As a teacher I feel that a way I can play a role in my students digital citizenship is introducing them to proper ways to be on the web. This goes for being able to detect things that may be AI generated or scams, as well as sites that would be harmful for them to be on. I think it is better to introduce them to these things and show them how helpful they can be, but also how much harm they can do versus trying to protect them from it all. Another way I can help them is by allowing them to complete work through their computers that involve typing, researching, discussing with classmates, etc. This will allow them to learn the basics of digital citizenship.

Promoting appropriate behavior and actions through the use of technology would greatly benefit my students. This can be modeled through consistent utilization of digital citizenship models that ISTE provides, or could even go as far to implement curriculum seen in Brandau's article. Another way to help my students become good digital citizens would be to emphasize inclusivity. Not all students have the same access to technology in their households, and making sure that students understand that not only promotes respectful behavior, but could also create comradery between classmates.

In the age of Ipads and Chromebooks one way I help my students is explain the consequences that come from misuse of technology, and let them know that they may think that know one knows what they are posting that it can be traced back to them. Secondly, would be to show them examples between good and bad digital citizens. Ultimately, it takes time and patience to show children how to use the internet respectfully not something that will happen overnight.

I think two important ways to help our students to become good digital citizens is by reiterating the potential consqueneces of your actions, even on the internet. Once something is posted wether deleted or not, its never truly off the internet. Like the saying "think before you speak", "think before you post". Another way, is by teaching our students about cyberbullying and the harm this causes others.

One way I can help my students practice good digital citizenship is to incorporate more activities on properly citing online sources and giving proper credit. Many of my students have struggled with this, so this will be an important exercise to improve their digital citizenship skills. Another way to improve digital citizenship in my classroom would be to have lessons built in on how to behave online and how to safeguard their private information online because it seems like this is not practiced enough in schools

• Being responsible, respectful, and mindful of others.

• Respecting others, and your own privacy.

• Thinking critically before posting online.

• Avoid cyberbullying.

• Internet safety.

• Protecting private information, and not sharing private information with others.

Two things I can do to help my students be good digital citizens:

The first thing I could do is help my students understand what is appropriate to put online, and what is not appropriate to put online. For example, putting private information online is not okay, or giving out private information like an address, passwords, SSN, or even birthdays can be dangerous to give out. The second thing I would do to help is teach my students about cyberbullying and why it is not okay to do. I would teach them to always be respectful and be kind to others online because any type of bullying is never okay and it can be dangerous for them and the other person. Technology was not created for people to hate or harass others, it was created to enhance and improve our lives for the better.

Ways I can help my students be good digital citizens is by teaching them how to read and evaluate what they read online. With the prevalence of misinformation online it is crucial for students to be able to differentiate a reliable source from unreliable sources. I can do this in my U.S. History class by assigning a research project, and outlining the sorts of sources that can be trusted such as websites ending in .edu and .gov.

Some ways that you can help students be good digital citizens include: educating them on the potential consequences of posting anything online, and by modeling positive online behavior ourselves as educators. Many of my students attempt to follow or friend me on my social media platforms. Due to this I am very conscious of what I post online. I try to put forth a respectable inclusive image of myself online. By doing this I hope that my students are able to see what I do and try to emulate it themselves on their own social media profiles. 

I enjoyed reading about ISTE's standards and how to incorporate them into the classroom. One way to help students is to teach them to understand the ethical, legal, and safe use of technology by clearly teaching digital citizenship values. You can use resources, case studies, and real-world examples to show the importance of privacy, security, and respectful communication online. Students need to understand how to manage their digital identities and to interact with others in a responsible way.  Another way as an educator to set a strong example of good digital citizenship by using technology responsibly and ethically in your own classroom. Students learn by example. We need to teach students how to assess online information, respect others' opinions, and engage in productive online communication. Show them the value of participating in positive digital spaces and how to avoid harmful digital practices such as cyberbullying. Students also need to see how nothing is deleted in cyberspace.
