Digital Citizenship
Storyboard Text
- There are many aspects to being a responsible digital citizen. However, we will only be going over the two crucial points today.
- Good morning class. Today we will begin our discussion over digital citizenship.
- What is digital citizenship?
- And why do we need to know about it? We already know how to get on the internet.
- Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers, the Internet, or other devices to engage with society. Yes, you all know how to access the internet. However, you need to know the rules when being online. The first and most important rule is managing your digital identity. You have to be positive and use ethical behavior.
- All you have to do is treat everyone you meet online just as you would when meeting a regular person. Also you have to know who's devices you are using and who can access what you are looking up, viewing, and saying. You should already know not to do these things, but just in case, be careful of the personal data you use as it can be traced back to you on data-collection technology. Simply put, don't do or say anything online you wouldn't in person.
- Next thing you must be aware of is forming your own opinion and not taking someone else's ideas and saying their your own. Using the Internet is a huge advantage that many generations didn't have, this will help you see gaps in your knowledge and expand on new ideas. However, you need to know if you have permission to build off this idea and how to cite and give credit were credit is due.
- Citing sources is crucial to becoming a great digital citizen. Even if you don't think it's all that bad it will get you in major trouble academically and in the work force. The Internet is filled with knowledge to expand and grow your brain with, and you should use it as such. However, just because you and another share the same opinion doesn't mean it is yours to take. Create your own words and sentence and share with others the person you derived it from.
- What do you mean they can see me watching YouTube? How will I make it through school now? Being responsible blows!
- This is great! So everyone needs to treat everyone with respect, watch what we get on, and we just have to make sure we give credit where it is due.
- No fair! All my papers have been so easy to write just copy and pasting. I guess I'll just keep their ideas and add some of my own thoughts while giving them some credit.
