The 3 top priorities for helping students develop good digital citizenship:
1)Consider the digital environment as an extension of the classroom:
Teach them the classroom expectations and repeatedly too. What is not allowed in the classroom is, by extension, not allowed on the cyberspace.
2)Morality/ethics
Morality means doing the right things even when no one is watching. The Rotarian's 4-way test sums it all - a) Is it the truth?
b) Is it fair to all concerned?
c) Will it build goodwill and better friendship?
d) Is it beneficial to all concerned?
3) Safety and Security (be cybersmart!)
Teach them not to expose too many personal things about themselves or others. Empower the students to think critically and make informed choices about how they live and treat others in a digital world. Teach topics topics such as privacy, social media, cyberbullying, and creativity/self-expression during advisory lessons.
