What is Digital Citizenship?

Watch this short video on digital citizenship.

Think and discuss in class... How would you define digital citizenship? Is is different from other types of citizenship? If you were around when automobiles were becoming popular, do you think you might have discussed "automobile citizenship"?


Assignments: 

Part 1: Write an e-mail titled "Digital Citizenship" to your teacher (manersj@k12tn.net) and answer the following questions:

1. What does it mean to be a citizen of this country?

2. Do people who operate automobiles or computers need to have a basic knowledge of how these machines work in order to drive on public roads or use a public Internet? What should be expected of computer/automobile users and why?

3. How are automobiles and computers similar in regards to citizenship? How are they different?

Part 2: Study the Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship here.  Write a second e-mail titled "Nine Themes" to your teacher listing each of the Nine Themes and define each in your own words using one or two sentences. Finally, state which of the themes do you feel are the most in need of being taught and why. Take your time and give a thoughtful and well written answer. Back up your answer with facts or personal observations.

Remember to get full credit, you must have both e-mails sent by midnight tonight.
Do your best writing and good luck!
