Digital Citizenship
2009 November 12
I’ve been hearing this term more and more lately and I think it is a good framework for teaching adults and children about the proper use of digital resources.
Mike Ribble and Gerald Bailey have written on this subject in Digital Citizenship in Schools. Ribble and Bailey structure the book around `nine elements of digital citizenship‘ to help educators better understand the variety of topics that constitute digital citizenship and to provide an organized way to address them. The nine elements are: digital access, digital commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights and responsibilities, health and wellness, and digital security.
I’m looking forward to reading their book.
