         <description><![CDATA[<p>As the internet becomes an increasingly integral part of our lives, the need to teach students about the best ways to be online grows. It is important to be aware of the dangers, and to think critically about decisions. Anyone can blatantly lie or present an extremely biased opinion as fact, so a digital citizen needs to be engaged in what they are reading or seeing critically, and informed of the common ways that you can tell if something is true. Respect for yourself and others is another smart characteristic. You shouldn't respond with hate even if you do not agree with an opinion. I think that in my classroom I will have my students practice respect by replying in discussion posts or commenting on other student’s assignments. To help them evaluate sources of information, I will teach them about tells and research methods to determine the reliability of a source like looking up the author or finding corroborating sources.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is responsible, respectful, and socially aware. They understand the importance of protecting their privacy, are mindful of their digital footprint, and are kind when interacting with others online. Good digital citizens also avoid plagiarism and respect intellectual property. They actively work to create a positive and inclusive online environment and avoid harmful or offensive content.</p><p><br/></p><p>To help students become good digital citizens, one thing I could do is teach them about online safety and privacy. This includes educating them on the importance of using secure passwords, avoiding sharing personal information, and recognizing scams or phishing attempts. Another idea would be to guide them in practicing respectful online communication, teaching them how to engage in positive discussions, resolve conflicts constructively, and be mindful of their language and tone when interacting with others.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>To me, a good digital citizen is someone who is socially aware, respectful, listener, mindful, and responsible. Treating others with kindness and the outmost respect online just as they would in person is someone that has good digital citenship. They do not hide behind a screen and be anonymous so they can share whatever they want to post. They communicate thoughtfully, practice kindness, and avoid behaviors that causes harms to others. People with good digital citizenship also uses good and secure passwords out of respect of their own privacy and privacy of others as well. </p><p>To help students with good digital citizenship, I would empathize etiquette and respect and also promoting safety and privacy awareness. I want to educate my students on the importances of being respectful while communicating online. You need to understand the importance of tone, language, and empathy. I would also instruct my students on the importance of protecting their personal information. I would help them understand the risk of sharing too much online. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Personally, digital citizenship is respectful, responsible, and ethical in online interactions. They should overall practice internet safety, protect personal information, and engage in positive communication. I also believe that they should respect intellectual property, think critically about online content, and report cyberbullying or harmful behavior. To support students to be good digital citizens, educators can model appropriate online behavior by demonstrating respectful communication and responsible content sharing. Moreover, they can incorporate digital literacy lessons that teach students about online privacy, cyber safety, and ethical internet use. Supporting critical thinking about digital media helps students navigate the online world responsibly and more easily.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Some qualities of a good digital citizen are responsibility, kindness, and awareness. Anyone using the Internet must be responsible for what they post, comment on, and share with others. It is also important to be kind when chatting with other online users. One of the most important qualities of a good digital citizen is being aware of what you post because of your digital footprint. </p><p><br/></p><p>One way I can help my students be good digital citizens is to review some simple digital rules and guidelines at the beginning of the year so they understand how to behave online. I will also allow students to give positive feedback on other students' work so they can learn how to spread kindness online.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Digital citizenship is a balance of being respectful, alert, and being engaged. Our world is filled with technology, so we need to stay alert to new updates and be aware of any changes that could affect our privacy or security. What we say on social media and what we do on technology could be there forever. It is a representation of us and who we are and how we interact with other people. Therefore, it is our duty to obey the golden rule “Treat others the way you want to be treated”. It is the golden rule for a reason, we should be respectful as digital citizens and be aware of our actions.&nbsp; This also applies to how we present ourselves and interact online. I think it is important to make students aware of this in the classroom. Technology is prominent in the everyday classroom, so if we continue to teach students about digital citizenship from a young age all the way up it will help them learn the competencies. One way I can integrate digital citizenship in my future classroom is to go over rules and guidelines at the start of the year. Also, use “bellwork” or “morning work” that have facts about digital citizenship or show examples for students to be aware of so they are informed on how to properly use digital technology and media.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Some qualities of a good digital citizen include being aware, kind, responsible, and mindful. It's important to be aware when using or posting on the internet. I want to keep my student's aware that they need to be careful with what they are looking up online. I also want to help encourage kindness on the internet from my students. I also think responsibility is important when you're a digital citizen. You need to post responsibility because of your digital footprint. This will help my students in the future if they are posting or using the internet responsibly. That goes along with the importance of staying mindful. </p><p><br/></p><p>I think it would be good if I find a way to teach my students about the importance of safety when it comes to the internet and social media. I would find a way to teach it that is easy for them to understand, but also doesn't scare them since I want to teach young grades. I could possibly show them a video made for kids about social media, or I have also read some children's books about the topic before.   </p>]]></description>

They demonstrate digital literacy by verifying sources, avoiding misinformation, and engaging in positive online interactions. To help students become good digital citizens, I will teach them about online safety by discussing privacy settings, strong passwords, and recognizing scams. Additionally, I will model and encourage respectful communication by integrating activities that promote kindness in online discussions, such as collaborative digital projects where students can practice constructive feedback. By fostering digital responsibility and ethical engagement I will be able to help my students navigate the digital world confidently and safely.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my opinion, a good digital citizen begins with having the trait of being responsible. The digital world is a lot to take on, and one must be responsible to understand their actions and others. Being responsible also leads to the other qualities, such as compassion. If we are responsible about our own actions, we can be mindful of how they affect others on the internet. Being aware can lead to the important quality of compassion and overall being kind. As a teacher I would want to do an exercise that shows how once something is said, you can never take it back. I feel this could prepare my students to be good digital citizens by making them aware of what they post and how once it's out there, it's there forever. Also, teaching them about positive feedback and when and what to post or not to post something could help them become good contributors to the world. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I believe that a good digital citizen respectful and responsible when using technology. They practice being safe online by protecting their own personal information and prioritizing positive interactions with others. In addition to this, a good digital citizen should think carefully about the information that they consume and share online in order to avoid misinformation and cyberbullying. To help my students be good digital citizens, I would teach them about keeping their information private and how important it is to prioritize privacy in order to keep themselves safe. I can also encourage using respectful communication with others by talking about kindness and critical thinking when talking to others online. By emphasizing these habits, I can help students build a strong sense of responsibility while using technology. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Someone who practices good digital citizenship puts respect at the forefront of their decisions. I believe respect is the foundation of what it takes to be good at something. Whether that is being a good friend, teammate, or digital citizen, the level of respect someone holds plays a huge factor. Having respect leads to making smart decisions when online. It can change what you post and how you interact with other users. The first thing I would share with my students is how the act of kindness and thoughtfulness goes a long way. I would teach them how to be kind to others, and treat people how they would want to be treated. Not only is this good for in person interactions, but it is also beneficial to remember when online. I think many times people forget their is a human on the other side of the screen reading the mean comments. I think I would also stress to students what a digital footprint is. Once I learned what it was in grade school, I became very aware of what I posted and shared online. I would emphasize how what you put online never goes away, so to always think before doing. Overall being respectful and mindful of others when online can stop the spread of misinformation, along with unnecessary online criticism. These qualities lead to having a good digital citizenship and an overall better quality of life. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think when it comes to digital citizenship, it's really important to talk about responsibility and respect. Students needs to understand both of those topics in depth to be able to be good digital citizens. Digital footprint is real and sometimes students don't realize that what you put on the internet can be used against you and can negatively impact you and other people too. It's important to be mindful and have some understanding about how the internet works or how you can use it and social media in a safe way. Again being respectful is a big part of this too because if you post something online, a lot of times it can comes back and bite you in the butt later in life. I would make sure to teacher students about their actions and intentions when it comes to social media or anything online. Prioritizing their understanding on the topic of why you have to be on your best behavior and what can happen if you're not. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I believe when it comes to digital citizenship, it is important to be aware and to be respectful. It is important when working with technology or being online that you understand what what is being posted, how it can be interpreted from different points of views, and how others can react to the information. Being aware and responsible can help make sure you are keeping your digital footprint safe for yourself. With this being said, it is important to teach students this because making students aware of how they use technology can affect them for the rest of their lives. Making sure they understand privacy and why keeping certain things private can keep them safe, or others around them safe. Another thing that is important to teach students is to be respectful to others. There is a saying that the internet is like a big curtain and you cant see behind it. People typically post rude or offensive stuff with the idea they wont be caught. This isnt true. Anything you post can get back to you, so it is important to be respectful in what you post or how you use technology.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think some good digital citizen qualities are safe internet practice, respectful to others' opinions, and not cyberbullying anyone online. Understanding how much of an impact everyone's digital footprint is can make sure that the choices that are made or shared have thought behind them. Also, someone with a good digital citizenship would make sure that the information that is going on online or through communities is accurate and truthful not further to spread any misconceptions. One way I can help my students to be good digital citizens in an asl class is to create accessible content like captioning videos or visual communication. Another one is that I can encourage ways to be respectful when interacting with the Deaf community in discussions.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think an important aspect of digital citizenship is understanding the consequences that may come with using technology. Some qualities of a good digital citizen include being respectful of internet use, talking to others respectfully digitally, and using safe internet practices. Being respectful to others on the internet is so important because anything that you say on the internet is out there forever, which could negatively impact you. Using safe internet practices is also a good quality of a good digital citizen because the internet can often be dangerous. So understanding any risks that may come with using the internet is important. To encourage my students to be good digital citizens, I will teach them the importance of internet safety. For example I will teach them about privacy settings, usage of strong passwords, and other topics to keep them safe. I will also highly encourage my students to always think before they say anything on the internet, this is to encourage them to be respectful. Teaching students this can lower cyberbullying rates and also help their digital footprint so that it doesn't affect their future. These are just some important aspects of technology usage to teach to students. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think that some qualities of a good digital citizen include being safe, respectful, and aware. Individuals need to be aware and safe when they are online, which ensures safety for other users. Additionally, respect and responsibility are important components of being a good digital citizen. The internet is a space for all to use, and as you would in person, it is important to treat others with respect and be responsible about what is being shared. In order to help students to be good digital citizens, we can teach about the importance of safety and privacy as well as respect. By ensuring that our students are maintaining safe online practices, through teaching about online privacy settings and how to navigate safe online resources. Additionally, we need to teach our students respect and demonstrate how to be respectful and thoughtful when engaging online. We can do this through in class discussions about mindfulness, positivity, and learning constructive criticism. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is responsible, respectful, and mindful of how their actions affect others online. They think about what they share before they post, protect their privacy, and engage positively in digital spaces. It’s also important to know how to spot unreliable information and avoid harmful behaviors like cyberbullying. To help my students be good digital citizens, I’d incorporate lessons on online safety and digital literacy to teach them how to evaluate sources and make smart choices. I’d also model positive online behavior, showing them how to communicate respectfully and use technology in a way that’s both responsible and meaningful.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is someone who uses technology responsibly, respects others online, and understands how to stay safe. This means protecting personal information, being kind and respectful in digital interactions, and thinking critically about what they see and share. It’s also important for digital citizens to recognize reliable sources and avoid spreading misinformation. To help students develop these skills, I would start by teaching them about online safety, including the importance of strong passwords and keeping personal details private. I would also model and encourage positive online behavior by incorporating digital literacy into classroom discussions. Helping students understand how to interact respectfully and think critically about online content will set them up for responsible technology use in and out of the classroom. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think that a good digital citizen is someone who is respectful, responsible, and safe online. This consists of engaging in healthy and positive communication when doing anything online. It also consists of being safe when it comes to personal life by keeping accounts private, not giving up any important personal information online, and by being mindful of what is being said and how it reflects on them. It is also very important for digital citizens to be aware of what sources are reliable and to make sure that they have valid data to back up claims so that they never spread misinformation. In order to help my future students be good digital citizens, I will first and foremost teach them all about online safety, which also consists of teaching them the importance of strong passwords and keeping personal information private. I will also educate them on how to respond to peers respectfully online, and about the importance of citing any sources that they receive information from and making sure that those resources are reliable.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Some qualities of a good digital citizen include being aware of one's digital footprint, showcasing empathy, being responsible while online, and being safe online. Each and every person who goes online, creates profiles, participates in anything online has a digital footprint that follows them. It is important for people to understand that they can not always escape what they've posted or said or done online, even though it does not feel as if it is real because it's hidden in a screen. Showing empathy is a huge factor in becoming a good digital citizen, as we post, comment, like, share other people's creations and thoughts. What we are reading has been posted by a real person who has real feelings, too, and by empathizing with others, we can help lift up a generation of good-hearted people who can accept the different perspectives we all have. How each one of our voices matter. And lastly, being safe and responsible online is another huge factor when it comes to digital citizenship as our actions matter online. Knowing that you should never post your address, when you're going on vacation, personal details, etc because there are unkind people in the world who may take that information and do harmful things with it. It is always important to be aware of those scenarios and always think twice before posting, commenting, and sharing. To help my students be good digital citizens, I will first inform them of the dangers that come with being online and posting specific details. A lesson on online safety is a first! Then, I will help them practice empathy through a string of posts where they will need to comment on 2 different posts something kind. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my opinion, some qualities of a good digital citizen include someone who is respectful of others and their privacy, someone who makes good healthy choices online, and someone who is responsible online as well. The internet can be a safe place as well as a horrible place. Things can be taken out of context, hateful comments can be made, and so much more. Being a good digital citizen is using the internet in a respectful and responsible manner. Sharing personal information can have an affect on this. Making strong passwords and limiting yourself on what information you put out on your private life can really be qualities of a good digital citizen. Another way is recognizing all of the scams and security risks that the internet can produce. It is important to understand and recognize the skills it takes to be a good digital citizen. To help my students be good digital citizens in the classroom, I would give advice and use digital learning activities to help them gain information on what the internet has to offer and how to navigate it in a healthy way. It is important to remind my students of the negative effects that come from not being a good digital citizen. The more I emphasize about good digital citizen qualities, it hopefully could make a difference in my students future. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen behaves responsibly and respectfully online. They communicate politely, protect their own personal information, and consider their own content before posting. A good digital citizen continues to follow rules, abide by copyright, and are positive in online communities. Teachers can help students become good digital citizens by modeling respectful online behavior and teaching about digital ethics. Students can then be given the opportunity to practice these skills under supervision of the educator. Some examples include discussion posts provided on a topic discussed in class that students can chat and interact with each other. The teachers can post this forum on their school's preferred website like Canvas or Google Classroom.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think a good digital citizen demonstrates responsibility, respect, and awareness online. They think critically before sharing information, protect their own privacy and the privacy of others, and interact positively with online communities. They also respect intellectual property and follow ethical guidelines when using digital resources. To help students become good digital citizens, I would first model respectful and safe online behavior, showing them how to navigate digital spaces responsibly. Second, I would integrate lessons on digital footprints, privacy, and online etiquette into classroom activities, giving students opportunities to practice making thoughtful and ethical choices in a digital environment.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think a good digital citizen is someone who portrays themselves in a good light, but also is someone who is respectful to other people. Especially when it comes to privacy, it is important to share specific information, and not share other certain information. This way, the user is protected. It is also important to be kind to others and communicate politely. I think some ways to help my students be a good digital citizen is to give them lessons and teach them different ways to be a good citizen, but also put it into practice through things like discussion posts or a practice social media website. This way they can learn and practice at the same time which is really beneficial.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my opinion, I think a good digital citizen is someone who someone who is responsible with how they use the Internet. A good digital citizen is someone who is also very respectful when interacting with others on the Internet. A core rule of the Internet is that whatever you post will last forever, whether you like it or not. Therefore, making sure that you are not hateful and discriminatory towards people on the Internet is a key principle to having a good digital footprint. Another aspect of being a good digital citizen is obeying copyright laws. This hits home to me because I am studying to be a choir teacher. If I steal music and distribute it illegally, that would be an example of being a bad digital citizen. The main role of the teacher is to demonstrate these key aspects of being a good digital citizen to their class. Being a kind person to your students will translate to them being kind to others online. As well, make sure that your digital footprint is in line. You want to model what being non problematic is to your students the best you can.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>However, the two competencies that stand out the most to me are being informed and being alert. No matter your age or the time you have accessed the internet, there are some things that need to be kept toward the front of our minds. Staying informed is an excellent skill to have when using social media or searching the internet. By constantly ensuring accuracy from the sites you are taking information from, keeping an open perspective about opinions, and the validity of media you are exposed to, you are able to further develop skills to stay informed while being on the internet. Students and adults alike should always stay aware of the actions they take on the internet to ensure there is safe space for everyone including yourself. To help students ensure they are good digital citizens, we should provide them with the knowledge and competencies before letting them gain access to internet in the classroom. We should also model good behavior. For example, if we show students our computers and have recent search history, saved files, or open tabs that do not pertain to the lesson or school it may invite behaviors from students that we do not want.</p>]]></description>

This includes practicing online safety, protecting privacy, showing kindness in digital communication, and giving credit for others’ work. To help students become good digital citizens, I can model positive digital behavior by using technology responsibly in class. Additionally, I can teach students explicit lessons on topics like online safety, cyberbullying, and proper research skills so they understand how to interact ethically and safely online. These practices help students build the skills to navigate the digital world confidently and responsibly, both in school and beyond.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is someone who is respectful and responsible with what they post online and how they use the internet. They are also very respectful to others on the internet, regardless is individuals are not kind to them or post something that they disagree with. A good digital citizen protects their personal information and does not disclose any private information on social media. They are also very cognizant of the fact that what they post lasts forever, so they will not post anything that they could potentially regret in the future. Social media can be a tool and a very positive things, but it could also be used against you, so a good digital citizen will only have positive things. </p><p>In hopes to help my future students to be good digital citizens, I will emphasize the importance of kindness online. It is much easier to say things over a screen, but it can be just as hurtful to be on the receiving end. There will also be people who post things that you do not agree with, but it is important to treat everyone with respect and kindness because it can still be hurtful and those words cannot go away.  I will also model how to use social media and technology in a positive and helpful way, so they can take those and hopefully use them in the same context. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think some qualities of a good digital citizen is someone who is respectful to others online and their privacy, is smart with protecting their own privacy and data online and knows about digital literacy, is responsible in the way they communicate with others online, and someone who puts an effort into enforcing a safe, inclusive, and ethical environment online. Also a good digital citizen understands that there are always consequences to their poor actions online through their digital footprint. One way I can help my students become good digital citizens is by teaching them about the basic fundamentals of online safety such as cyberbullying, through communication, privacy through passwords, how to use apps of technology, etc. so they have a foundation of knowledge of the web before they go on and use it. Another way I can help my students become good digital citizens is by creating academic lessons online through assignments like discussion boards or interactive activities through websites. This can allow students to explore tools on the web like websites and learn how to communicate online with others properly.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is someone who is respectful to others online similarly to how they would be if they were face to face. They are open to hearing different points of view even if they do not agree. They know how to use technology to solve problems for themselves, their families, and their community. A good digital citizen takes time to evaluate their sources for accuracy and then gives proper credit when using those sources. Lastly, a good digital citizen knows how to balance their time between being online and being present in the world. I think the best ways to help your students be good digital citizens is to teach them how to evaluate media they see on the internet as accurate or not, and then how to give credit to their sources. I also think it is extremely important that students learn how to protect their private devices, and that once it's on the internet it is there forever. </p>]]></description>

During these lessons the instructor can teach students how to evaluate online sources and discuss possible scenarios they may witness. This creates a safe environment for students to possibly make mistakes so they can be corrected without finding out the hard way. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is someone who uses a digital space respectfully and responsibly.

Conducting one's self online properly is a must as a teacher as you are the example your students will see when they come into your classroom.

You must also ensure that you are able to use technology for digital lesson plans given the case of students missing class and any weather events so that you may best educate your students. Ensuring that both you and your students are taught to be good digital citizens will help improve the future, reducing online bullying and making for a respectful digital environment.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

They are able to practice civility, kindness, and think critically about online information that they respond to and share. They know to protect their personal information and be cautious and careful about what and where they share things online. Two things I can do to help students is model acceptable online behavior to set a good example. Another thing I can do is have lessons that require you to work online and reinforce behaviors we have talked about, and be put into practice.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Being a good digital citizen means showing kindness, respect, and responsibility when using technology. It’s about treating people online the same way you would in person, being careful with personal information, and thinking before you post or share. Good digital citizens also use technology to learn new things and make a positive impact. As a teacher, one way to support this is by modeling safe and respectful online behavior for your students. Another way is by having open discussions about real-life online situations, helping students reflect on their choices and learn how to navigate the digital world responsibly. By telling my students real world stories about technology and the dangers of it, hopefully that will give them a lot of perspective to the digital world and the dangers of it. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Something that makes a good digital citizen is someone who properly and safely uses technology.

Another thing that I can do to help my students become good digital citizens is teach online safety such as cyberbullying and people that have bad intentions on the internet. These are things that are important to address early on because children now have access to the internet essentially from birth. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I believe that being a good digital citizen means being very thoughtful in every action one takes online. I believe many negative things that occur online are a result of a lack of the use of a good thought process. People are often hasty online. I believe a good digital citizen stops before posting something, especially on social media, and thinks to themselves "Could this hurt anyone, or affect me in a negative way down the road?" If people were just more careful and considerate things would go much smoother for everyone online. I believe a good digital citizen exemplifies grace in everything they post. </p><p><br/></p><p>In my class one way I will make sure that my students are good digital citizens is by making sure they cite work properly. I am going to be a high school history teacher, which will probably entail research papers. Learning how to properly cite was one of the most valuable lessons I was ever taught in high school, because it is something I have had to repeatedly do ever since then. I will make sure that when students leave my class that they can easily cite others work in a proper professional fashion.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>A good digital citizen is someone who uses the internet safely and intended. One example would be not sharing personal information such as emails, phone numbers, passwords, bank information, and more. It is also important to treat people with respect and kindness online. With the amount of social media these days, people are able to hide behind a screen and leave negative comments. It is important to remember the golden rule when online: treat others how you want to be treated. Technology is continuously innovating and should be used properly to leave a positive impact on others. One way I can teach my students how to be a good digital citizen is by having a discussion. Talking about the internet and social media by discussing real-life scenarios will provide students with real knowledge of how to behave online and what to do if someone else is behaving inappropriately. The second way is by teaching about the digital footprint. There are many videos and online activities that discuss digital footprint and how to know what websites are credible and appropriate, and what are not. I think teaching about technology and being a good digital citizen is very important. Technology is growing, and students need to know how to properly use technology in a positive way. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I believe a good digital citizen can be made up of many characteristics. Someone who is respectful and thoughtful with how they use technology can be a good digital citizen. Communicating respectfully online is a critical part to being a good digital citizen, and can make an impact in the technology world. Ensuring that as an educator you are exhibiting the qualities of a good digital citizen to your students should always be a priority. As a teacher, you can beware of digital footprint and let students know the dangers of technology. It is also beneficial to let students know about copyright laws so that they can be safe and rule-followers while using sources in their education. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I think that being a good digital citizen means using the internet safely and respectfully. Protecting your information online is so important because there are always people out there who do not have your best interests in mind. Use strong passwords and avoid sharing any personal information when sharing online to protect yourself. People are more inclined to hide behind the screen, but they forget that this is everyone's first time living, so being kind to others on the internet and staying respectful is crucial to being a good digital citizen. </p><p><br/></p><p>As teachers, it is so important for us to teach our students how to be good digital citizens. Teaching your students to protect their information by creating strong passwords and teaching them to never share personal information online. Additionally, teaching them to be kind online and how much words can hurt is crucial to know. Asking students if they have been hurt by words and how that made them feel can show the impact of words, even online. Technology is rapidly growing, and we have to make sure our future generation is even safer with it than we have become. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I would say a good digital citizen is someone who is responsible and mindful of when and how they are using the internet. Good digital citizens should be able to figure out what source are accurate and which are not. They also are typically aware of how to be safe online like using password protection, not posting personal information, and more. Good digital citizens are polite when online and are not rude to others just because they can hide behind a screen. One thing I can do to help my students be good digital citizens is by teaching students online safety before they begin using it in the classroom. Students like to look at all kinds of things on the internet and they do not always pay attention to if the site is safe or if it is something valuable to their learning. Teaching them how to be safe when using the internet is such an important skill for them to learn. Another thing I can do to help my students be good digital citizens is by teaching them how to be polite online and showing them the different between someone being nice and someone who is bullying another person. It is so east for kids to get bullied or to bully someone without realizing it so we need to teach them to think about what they are saying before they post it online. </p>]]></description>
