WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP?

Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately.

Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Digital citizenship is the norms of appropriate, responsible technology use.  The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.

Here is the sight where you can learn more about Digital Citizenship:
