A digital citizen is one who knows what is right and wrong, exhibits intelligent technology behavior, and makes good choices when using technology. To understand the complexity of digital citizenship and the issues of technology use, abuse, and misuse, Mark Ribble had identified nine elements that together make up digital citizenship, which can be grouped into three categories. They are:
 
 


Digital Rights and Responsibilities the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them
 

Digital Communication
the electronic exchange of information
 

Digital Access
full electronic participation in society
 

Digital Etiquette
the standards of conduct expected by other digital technology users
 

Digital Security
the precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal safety and the security of their network
 


Digital Literacy
the capability to use digital technology and knowing when and how to use it
 

Digital Law
the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use
 


Digital Health and Wellness
the elements of physical and psychological well-being related to digital technology use
 

Digital Commerce
the buying and selling of goods online"

"Digital Citizenship is a holistic and positive approach to helping children learn how to be safe and secure, as well as smart and effective participants in a digital world. That means helping them understand their rights and responsibilities, recognize the benefits and risks, and realize the personal and ethical implications of their actions. Helping a child become a good digital citizen cuts across all curricular disciplines and includes knowledge, awareness, and skills in three key areas:

Safety & Security:  Understanding the risks that we face from others as well as from our own conduct, and the dangers posed by applications like viruses and phishing.

"Digital Identity has been described as “the sum of all digitally available information about an individual.” It’s your digital footprint—the evidence of your life in tweets, Facebook updates, pins, blog posts and other interactions on the Web.
But it’s much more than that.
With the combined advent of the social Web and mobile technology, we live at the very beginning of a historic change in the evolution of human communication. Consider this: Your great-grandchildren will know significantly more about you than you will ever know about even your own parents. Increasingly, you share where you go, what you do and what you think—and in real time—creating a detailed digital footprint. What’s more, by leveraging countless layers of social connections, any one episode in that story can reach a global audience.
This is your story in the making. This is the creation of your legacy. This is your Digital Identity.
And it’s not just individuals but businesses, brands and communities, in every part of the world. Each has a story, and a Digital Identity.
What is yours? What story are you telling about yourself, your business or your community?
With an ever-increasing number of choices for connecting, consuming and sharing information your Digital Identity is arguably your most important asset and it creates new problems and exciting new opportunities. Follr addresses those problems and magnifies the opportunities. Follr is the glue that holds everything about you, your company and your brand together. We help you shape your legacy.
Follr is your Digital Identity.

"Digital identity consists of an identity assertion and the characteristics, sometimes called attributes, that are collected or observed through our computerized relationships. It is often as simple as a user name and password. Digital identity is similar to the more complex concept of identity in the real, analog world. However, the differences create profound issues as well as potential for managing our privacy and relationships on the Internet."

"Digital law is identified as the responsibility of being safe online and following online rules. It is basically know as the law of internet. Being able to follow the rules while using the internet. Abusing laws of the Internet can cause serious consequences. Examples of misusage are like Hacking into people’s computers, pirating software, downloading illegal music and creating viruses. Globally People consider it as " Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds which is either ethical or unethical. Digital responsibility deals with the ethics of technology. 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. Students should not be able to steal or cause damage to other people’s work, identity, or property. There are certain rules of society that fall under illegal acts. These laws apply to students as well. ""

"Digital Native
Definition - What does Digital Native mean?
A digital native is an individual who was born after the widespread adoption of digital technology. The term digital native doesn't refer to a particular generation. Instead, it is a catch-all category for children who have grown up using technology like the Internet, computers and mobile devices. This exposure to technology in the early years is believed to give digital natives a greater familiarity withand understanding of technology than people who were born before it was widespread.
Techopedia explains Digital Native
Not all children born today are digital natives by default. Interacting regularly with technology at a young age is the deciding factor. That said, children today are more likely to be familiar with the terminology of the digital world. This isn’t to say they will intuitively understand computer programming or how a network transmits data. They will, however, be better placed to understand these technologies as they will have seen them in action many times.

Controversy surrounds the concept of digital natives. Many teachers are still digital immigrants – people who were exposed to technology later in life and teach in the way they were taught. Some people suggest that digital natives need to be taught in a fundamentally different way. These people believe digital natives think differently due to their early exposure to technology and have become accustom to using technology to solve the repetitive tasks that form the basis of traditional learning.

"A growing body of research on digital natives is started to emerge. A digital native can be defined as a person who was born after the introduction of digital technology. Digital Natives use online services like Facebook, YouTube, Hulu, and Twitter on various digital technologies, such as smart phones or a tablet device. Digital Natives have blended their online life with their offline life."

Techopedia explains Digital Immigrant
Digital immigrants are believed to be less quick to pick up new technologies than digital natives. This results in the equivalent of a speaking accent when it comes to the way in which they learn and adopt technology. A commonly used example is that a digital immigrant may prefer to print out a document to edit it by hand rather than doing onscreen editing. "

"A wiki is a collaborative tool that allows you to contribute and modify one or more pages of course related materials. The wiki page is an area where users can collaborate on content. Users within a course can create and edit wiki pages in the course or within a course group. Instructors and students can offer comments and your instructor can grade individual work.

"

"What's a Wiki?
Wikis in the Classroom
Definition: A wiki, according to the definition at Wikipedia, (the most well known wiki) is a collaborative website where the users can contribute. If any user who is at this type of site would like to contribute to the page, make corrections, or additions, the "Edit This Page" button will change this page from a static web page to a word processing document. It is just that easy. However, most pages are restricted so that only invited guests can contribute. Most wikis are more open to collaborators but requests to join the wiki are required. This is a safeguard for the organizer to be able to have some degree of control over the content and the writers.

A wiki is an example of Web 2.0 technology. Other examples of Web 2.0 are blogs, social networking, and folksonomies. The whole process of this type of technology allows a community of people to share information easily, collaborate, and connect with others with common interests. The purpose of a wiki is to facilitate participation in an easy-to-use online environment by a community of people who care about the content because they have ownership of the process and the results. It is important to note however, that many teachers use wiki rather than other types of website development tools because of it's ease of use. There is no coding required to create a wiki, so for teachers who want an easy way to create a class website, even if they are the only editors - a wiki is used. Don't let the "wiki purists" tell you that's wrong! You can start a wiki as the only editor. Maybe later, you can use it with your team or your students.

Features of a wiki:
•  quick definition: webpage with an edit button
•  easy to correct mistakes
•  easy to allow people to contribute
•  does not prevent the making of mistakes
•  “wisdom of crowds” – collaborative (wikipedia)
•  “notification” – asked to be notified when changes occur – that’s how stuff gets fixed in 2 minutes.
•  web 2.0 applications work with old computers - no need to spend money on software

What Is a MOOC? 
A massive open online course (MOOC) is a model for delivering learning content online to any person who wants to take a course, with no limit on attendance."

"Misinformation is wrong or inaccurate information. It is distinguished from disinformation by motive. Misinformation is simply erroneous. Disinformation, in contrast, is intended to mislead."

"Disinformation, on the other hand, is the intentional spreading of false information to change an outcome or perception. Among government agencies worldwide, disinformation is one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Disinformation has been an effective weapon against other nations in wartime. World War II is filled with stories of disinformation, such as Britain's daring and now-famous Operation Mincemeat. The Brits' elaborate plan involved planting false information, cleverly disguised as part of a highly classified communiqué, on the body of a deceased soldier and dumping him into the sea off the coast of Spain. The Spanish recovered the body and "top secret" documents, which suggested that even though it appeared that the Allies were planning to attack Sicily, in fact, they were planning to attack Greece instead. While the Allies' plan was still to invade Sicily, the disinformation was especially effective because it implied that Sicily was merely a "decoy" target designed to distract Axis leaders from the true goal of Greece. Axis sympathizers in the Spanish government passed the false information along to the Germans, who took the bait and shifted their defensive strategy based on what they believed was the truth [source: Macintyre]."

"Rules of Netiquette Noun: Social norms that individuals choose to follow facilitating effective communication on the internet."

"Netiquette
Definition
Short for network etiquette, the code of conduct regarding acceptable online behavior.

Information
The term netiquette is commonly used in reference to popular forms of online communication, including email, forums and chat.

While some netiquette issues are technical in nature, all fundamentally concern how people relate to each other. Once the technical nuances are grasped and abstract concepts are understood, online etiquette is not much different than offline etiquette.

What does netiquette have to do with marketing?

It is essential to have a good understanding of acceptable ways to communicate with potential customers. In the worst-case scenario, violating the code of conduct for a community (ex. using spam) may get you banned from the community. It is possible to be banned from forums, search engines, ISPs and webhosts.
