What is digital citizenship?


Digital citizenship is a ‘name’ or ‘title’ given to a person that is confident and is capable user of technology, which is also known as ICT. People that use the internet or any technology effectively or responsibly are rightly known as Digital Citizens. Digital citizens participate in educational activities online.

How can you be a good digital citizen?

You can be a good digital citizen by following the rules on how to use digital technology. You have to be safe and always cautious because there could be someone pretending to be someone else. You should always think before you do something. You have to always keep your personal information to yourself and within your family. Lastly, you should stand up for other people who are having trouble on the internet. If you use these steps, then you can be a good digital citizen.

What is Digital Access?

Areyouadigitalcitizen.weebly.com  quotes ‘Digital Access is usually stated or described as a full electronic participation in society’. Everyone has access to digital technology especially technology that are free to use. Digital access allows people to use technology for educational and important causes.

What is Security?

In any group of people, there are individuals  who hack and steal  damage, or disrupt other people. The same is true for the digital community. It is not enough to trust other members in the community for our own safety.



What is Digital Communication?

Communication online is very important because if you don’t talk appropriately, it won’t make other people happy. When you are talking to someone online or maybe on social media, sometimes you might make the wrong turn especially if you are talking to someone you absolutely do not like. Sometimes people are so depressed about what is said to them and sadly give in and commit suicide. Communication is very important.

What is Digital Respect?

Having respect for people online is the same with your communication. Sometimes people think saying mean things to someone is something very funny but it might end up making someone feel depressed and sad. Your respect for people affects you and them. While you satisfy yourself with mean things, you never know what is happening on the other side of the internet. That is why respect is one of the most important things in being a digital citizen. Have respect.

What is Health and Wellness?

Health and wellness is very important because too much screen-time damages your eyes. Science says that there should only be 1-2 hours of screen-time per day. You should get outside, play, exercise, clean and everything that does not include the computer!

What is Digital Literacy?

Digital Literacy is your ability to use, explore, share and make things using different information and resources from different digital devices and technology. It’s your knowledge and your behaviour on digital devices.
