Description
Digital citizenship refers to the responsible and ethical use of technology, particularly the internet and digital devices, by individuals. It encompasses a range of behaviors, attitudes, and skills that enable individuals to effectively and safely navigate the online world. Digital citizenship involves understanding how to use digital tools and platforms responsibly, respectfully, and with integrity. In these lessons, we explore key concepts of digital citizenship for students to explore. While some of this might serve as a review, it can be helpful to all get on the same page about digital citizenship, especially as our world becomes increasingly more driven by technology.
