9 Themes of Digital Citizenship

By: Kira Stahl 7th hour

Digital Etiquette

Electronic standards of conduct or procedure

People need to be kind to others online

People have argued with me on chats before I argued back to them. I mean what's the worse they can do, caps-lock me to death?

Digital Communication

Electronic exchange of information

Lots of ways to connect with others

I have tons of ways to connect with others. Examples of theses are: Gmail, Polyore, Yahoo, Facebook, Youtube, and much more.

Digital Literacy

Process of teaching and learning about technology and the us of technology

Staying current with how to use new technology

When they changed the Facebook chat, I had to figure out how it worked all over. I used the new features this chat bar had to offer.

Digital Access

Full electronic participation in society

Everyone should have the opportunity to access technology

Technology is everywhere. I use technology with my laptop, the television, on my D.S. But I could also lose this privilege if I use it irresponsibly.

Digital Commerce

Electronic buying and selling of goods online

A lot of shopping takes place online

Once, my Mom outbid a few people on Ebay.com to get a couple of baseball cards. She bought them for a higher price than she had expected but she was fine with it when she got them in the mail one week later.

Digital Law

Electronic responsibility for actions and deeds

Rules you need to follow

There have been times where I haven't followed this law. An example would be there was this one time when me and my friend were Gmail chatting during class. Hr teacher caught us on Lanschool. We apologized and promised to never do it again.

Digital Rights & Responsibilities

Those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world

People can have free speech but be appropriate

Trust me, don't type or chat anything inappropriate online. My friend and I were chatting very late and saying not so good things. We fell asleep and her Mom went to close her computer when she saw our chat. She read it, we got caught, and we got in big trouble.

Digital Health & Wellness

Physical and physiological well-being in a digital technology world

Use technology but take care of yourself

You should take care of yourself online. You can be physical in your own digital world, but be safe. Don't be a mess online.

Digital Security (self-protection)

Electronic precautions to guarantee safety

Protect personal information and identity

One time when my Mom was on a dating site, she met a man who lied about who he was. We ended up learning that he was a Nigerian and a scammer for money. We called people and fixed our problem.
