Tool 11

The three things I would make sure to teach my students about being a good digital citizen are:

1. - Digital etiquette or netiquette. Just the way we set up class and school rules at the beginning of the year, it is imperative to establish a set of rules of how to behave online and use technology appropriately. It is important for them to understand that the use of technology is a privilege and no right and as such, you can loose it if you do not follow the rules.
I really enjoyed the BrainPOP videos about digital etiquette. I am sure the students will enjoy them as well.

2. - Teach them how to access accurate and credible sources of information.

3. - And most important, keep themselves safe, never share personal information, and making them aware of the dangers of the digital world.
