Citizenship education aims to teach students and younger generation how to live and act appropriately in our living society. Well, digital citizenship is to help children and young people know how to use technology and live in online world appropriately. Unlike us, children nowadays are born in technology and they have little knowledge and ability to use Internet properly. Too often we are seeing students even adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. It is our responsibility to teach and help students understand technology and learn how to use it. I found a web says we could start with “9 Key Ps”. Passwords: we should teach students how to create higher-level secure passwords, especially for online banking and email. Avoid using the same password for all their accounts. Privacy: encourage students to be aware of protecting their private information like address, email, and phone number. Personal information: remind them to be careful what they share online. Photographs: they should know that not to post any picture showing their location or important privacy. Some facial recognition software can find them by inserting their latitude and longitude in the picture -- even if they aren't tagged. Property: teach students about copyright and how to generate a license for their own works. “Some students will search Google Images and copy anything they see, assuming they have the rights. Sometimes they'll even cite "Google Images" as the source. We have to teach them that Google Images compiles content from a variety of sources. Students have to go to the source, see if they have permission to use the graphic, and then cite that source.” Permission: show students how to get permission and how to cite properly. Protection: teach students knowledge about viruses, malware, phishing, ransomware, and identity theft, and how to protect themselves online. Professionalism: how to act professionally online when necessary. Personal Brand: let students be aware of what they do and share online and help them realize that they all have a “digital tattoo” online. https://www.edutopia.org/blog/digital-citizenship-need-to-know-vicki-davis http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/ Video from: www.youtube.com
