Free-writing: Digital citizenship


“We are living in a connected age, an exciting age, and we hold the future in our hands...” ACMA Cybersmart film: Digital Citizens guide. This is a good video, not only suitable for young children, but also good for everyone regarding Digital Citizenship. It is simple, clear and direct to point out that our digital footprint is rapidly expanding while we engage online activities. “Our behaviours can affect our world and everyone” So, we should engage positively in the online world and choose consciously. I think we should know how to be a responsible Digital Citizens and educate young people the importance of being a responsible Digital Citizens.






Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship: responsible behavior on using technology appropriately.
   



1.      Digital access: full electronic participation in society.

2.      Digital commerce: electronic buying and selling of goods.

3.      Digital communication: electronic exchange of information

4.      Digital literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology

5.      Digital etiquette: electronic standards of conduct of procedure.

6.      Digital law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds

7.      Digital rights and responsibilities: those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world

8.      Digital health & wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world

9.      Digital security (self-protection): electronic precautions to guarantee safety.



It is absolutely correct: respect yourself/respect others; educate yourself/connect with others, protect yourself/protect others.
