Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship is extremely important in today’s society. I think it is very important for people to be held accountable for their actions when using technology and the Internet. As a future educator I intend to be a role model. Not only in my role as a teacher but even in my virtual presence. The first way I will teach my students the importance of digital citizenship is by leading by example. I will always be responsible on the Internet. I will allow my students to have open access to my twitter and/or social media sites. I will also keep an eye on them on their social media. I will make sure my students realize that the way they show themselves online can follow them offline as well. I will teach my students they importance of citations. I will take the time to show them how to properly cite their sources so they are not taking credit for someone else work. I will also expect my students to use good digital citizenship when using technology in my class. If they do not it will affect their overall grade. I take digital citizenship extremely serious both in and out of my classroom.
