Digital Citizenship Resources for Teaching and Learning
Digital citizenship is defined by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) as: “Our students’ ability to recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.” Simply put, digital citizenship is the responsible use of technology to learn, create, and participate.
Digital Citizenship is part of our standards as a teacher or administrator, and NC Digital Learning Standards for Students (NC recently adopted ISTE Standards for Students). Digital citizenship is equally important because it is how we want our students to ethically and morally guide and navigate their digital lives.
Here are some resources educators can use to help facilitate digital citizenship lessons, activities, and discussions:
