First we might encourage students as well as people who are enjoying the digital world to be careful and responsible. Once your information is out there it is like you have gone out in a parallel dimension and are in front of a million others that you should respect and treat as well as you would like to be treated . Being respectful and responsible about how you write, interact or comment in someone's space and how you can be a positive and authentic person could help you to leave a good impression in the digital world.
Also it's important to protect your privacy, not sharing all your private information and location on the internet since it could lead to consequences such as robbery of your identity or robbery of your belongings or thoughts.
To be a responsible digital citizen you should care about the way you comment or participate in sites as well as applications, setting a good image and promoting respect, treating others as you would like to be treated and setting an example in ethics and morals would make a positive impact. Afterall we have rules and boundaries in real life and in the digital world we should learn certain rules and how to set boundaries for us and for whom we interact in order to be a good digital citizen or a good digital student.
I couldn't agree more! I advise my students to keep their personal information private because it is so easy for others to lie about their identity, which might lead to severe and perilous consequences.
ReplyDeleteAll the ways to be a good digital citizen that you mentioned are important , but I strongly agree with the second one , where I believe that its very important to keep student's personal information private , by keeping them safe from variety of potential risks they may encounter.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with you since teaching pupils digital citizenship is important for more than just keeping them safe online. It also teaches kids how to traverse digital areas and make effective use of internet resources. Students rely on smartphones and the internet to study, interact, and connect with instructors and peers in school districts that implement e-learning days.
