Week 5 blog assignment A Good Digital Citizen


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.  It is important to be a good digital citizen to manage good online behavior and to maintain a good reputation for the future.  A good digital reputation is important because anything you post online has your signature behind it and if it is inappropriate it will lead to a bad reputation.  A good reputation holds its value for future information you create on the internet and share with the world. It is very important for you to think before you post anything to the internet because it is not written in pencil it is written in ink cannot be erased.

  1. Anything you put out on the internet is forever. A lot of our students do not understand that this could come back to bite them in the but later on in life when they are applying for jobs or colleges.

  2. I think you are so correct to say that nothing that is ever put on the internet can ever be erased. Students often forget this fact or make poor choices and they have to pay the consequences.
