What Is Digital Citizenship?

Digital citizenship can be


defined as the norms of
appropriate, responsible
behavior with regard to
technology use.

Digital Citizenship

The Nine Elements of
Digital Citizenship

1. Digital Access:
full electronic participation in society.

Technology users need to be aware that not everyone has


the same opportunities when it comes to technology.
Working toward equal digital rights and supporting electronic
access is the starting point of Digital Citizenship.

2. Digital Commerce:
electronic buying and selling of goods.

Technology users need to understand that a large share of


market economy is being done electronically. Legitimate and
legal exchanges are occurring, but the buyer or seller needs
to be aware of the issues associated with it. Users need to
learn about how to be effective consumers in a new digital
economy.

3. Digital Communication:
electronic exchange of information.

One of the significant changes within the digital revolution is a person’s


ability to communicate with other people. In the 21st century, communication
options have exploded to offer a wide variety of choices (e.g., e-mail, cellular
phones, instant messaging). The expanding digital communication options
have changed everything because people are able to keep in constant
communication with anyone else. Now everyone has the opportunity
to communicate and collaborate with anyone from anywhere and anytime.
Unfortunately, many users have not been taught how to make appropriate
decisions when faced with so many different digital communication options.

4. Digital Literacy:
process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of
technology.

A renewed focus must be made on what technologies must be


taught as well as how it should be used. This process requires
sophisticated searching and processing skills (i.e., information
literacy). Citizens must be taught how to learn in a digital
society. They must be taught to learn anything, anytime,
anywhere. As new technologies emerge, they need to learn how
to use that technology quickly and appropriately. Digital
Citizenship involves educating people in a new way— these

individuals need a high degree of information literacy skills.

5. Digital Etiquette:
electronic standards of conduct or procedure.

Technology users often see this area as one of the most pressing problems
when dealing with Digital Citizenship. We recognize inappropriate behavior
when we see it, but before people use technology they do not learn digital
etiquette (i.e., appropriate conduct). Many people feel uncomfortable talking
to others about their digital etiquette. Often rules and regulations are
created or the technology is simply banned to stop inappropriate use. It is not
enough to create rules and policy, we must teach everyone to become
responsible digital citizens in this new society.

6. Digital Law:
electronic responsibility for actions and deeds

Digital law deals with the ethics of technology within a society. Unethical use
manifests itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical use manifests itself in the
form of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to understand that stealing or
causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.
There are certain rules of society that users need to be aware in a ethical society.
These laws apply to anyone who works or plays online. Hacking into others
information, downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating destructive worms,
viruses or creating Trojan Horses, sending spam, or stealing anyone’s identify or
property is unethical. http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/nine-elements.html

7. Digital Rights &


Responsibilities:
those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world.

There is a basic set of rights extended to every digital citizen. Digital


citizens have the right to privacy, free speech, etc. Basic digital rights
must be addressed, discussed, and understood in the digital world. With
these rights also come responsibilities as well. Users must help define
how the technology is to be used in an appropriate manner. In a digital
society these two areas must work together for everyone to be
productive.

8. Digital Health & Wellness:


physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world.

Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome, and sound ergonomic


practices are issues that need to be addressed in a new technological
world. Beyond the physical issues are those of the psychological
issues that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet addiction.
Users need to be taught that there are inherent dangers of
technology. Digital Citizenship includes a culture where technology
users are taught how to protect themselves through education and
training.

9. Digital Security (self-


protection):
electronic precautions to guarantee safety.

In any society, there are individuals who steal, deface, or disrupt other people. The
same is true for the digital community. It is not enough to trust other members in
the community for our own safety. In our own homes, we put locks on our doors and
fire alarms in our houses to provide some level of protection. The same must be true
for the digital security. We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and surge
control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must protect our information
from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.
