    • Welcome to the Digital Citizenship Website
       
       

       Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Digital citizenship is the norms of appropriate, responsible technology use.  Too often we are seeing students as well as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do. The issue is more than what the users do not know but what is considered appropriate technology usage.

    • Digital Citizenship Means Responsible UseTechnology access in the 21st Century has created an increasing demand to prepare our students to use that technology safely, legally, and ethically in our school systems as well as socially and eventually professionally. In this session we will explore the ISTE Digital Equity Standards.  What do those standards mean and how can they be applied in the K-12 environment? Free online resources and lessons to teach to these standards will be shared. 

      What Is Digital Citizenship?
      "Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use."   --Mike Ribble

        Definition - What does   Digital Identity mean?

         

        A digital identity is an online or networked identity adopted or claimed in cyberspace by an individual, organization or electronic device. These users may also project more than one digital identity through multiple communities. In terms of digital identity management, key areas of concern are security and privacy.

         
         
         
         
           
         
         

        Techopedia explains Digital Identity

         

        Like its human counterpart, a digital identity is comprised of characteristics, or data attributes, such as the following:

         
           
        • Username and password
          •  
        • Online search activities, like electronic transactions
          •  
        • Date of birth
          •  
        • Social security number
          •  
        • Medical history
          •  
        • Purchasing history or behavior
        A digital identity is linked to one or more digital identifiers, like an email address, URL or domain name. Because identity theft is rampant on the Web, digital identity authentication and validation measures are critical to ensuring Web and network infrastructure security in the public and private sectors.

    idcrnr.wordpress.com/...definition-of-digital-identity

    • Over at his personal blog, Kim Cameron proposes the following definition of “digital identity:”

       

      A digital identity is a set of claims made by one digital subject about itself or another digital subject.

       

      My own definition (see also page 1 of my keynote address at the 2004 PKI R&D Workshop) is as follows:

       

      A digital identity is a collection of information that relates to an individual, that is created and managed as a single unit in a network, and that is stored in electronic form.

    www.techterms.com/...netiquette

    • Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet. Good netiquette involves respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people. Three areas where good netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups. For example, people that spam other users with unwanted e-mails or flood them with messages have very bad netiquette.

    • Netiquette is etiquette on the Internet. Since the Internet changes rapidly, its netiquette does too, but it's still usually based on the Golden Rule. The need for a sense of netiquette arises mostly when sending or distributing e-mail, posting on Usenet groups, or chatting. To some extent, the practice of netiquette depends on understanding how e-mail, the Usenet, chatting, or other aspects of the Internet actually work or are practiced. So a little preliminary observation can help. Poor netiquette because you're new is one thing, but such practices as spam and flaming are another matter.
