Digital Citizenship; It is really important to teach our students to be a good digital citizenship, just like we teach them to follow the rules in school there are rules by the time of using technology. The very most important thing to teach to our students, I believe is Internet Safety. I never really thought it this way. I'm always trying to teach my students about the importance of what a person is completetly, and I talk to them about the values and introduce as many possible values I can think of and every day we discussed about them and we apply them during the school year.
Thanks to Technology individuals are capable of use this for many reasons like to get educated, employment, entertainment or simple social communications with others. This has created a society of digital citizens, these digital citizens like in any other society need to learn the right way of using Technology where they need to learn rights and laws. Most of our students are very confortable when it comes to use technology, but the concern here is, are they using technology properly? are they being good digital citizenships? It's pretty much like teaching them the right way of using technology. They are roles and responsabilities when it comes the usage of technology. It is very important to teach our students those values, so they can get only benefits from technology.
Students need to learn how to manage informations from the web, they need to learn how to recognize a good source and not believe in everything they see on the web.
