Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship is a term that describes how a person should act while using digital technology and has also been defined as "the ability to participate in society online". Digital citizenship is not a one time discussion. It is an ongoing process that changes so rapidly that it is difficult for everyone to keep up to date with the trends. That's why it's so important that everyone be educated and develop an understanding of the role digital citizenship plays in our everyday lives. There is so much that goes into being a digital citizen; from taking photos of others to knowing when it is appropriate to share something online.
