Digital Citizenship

What does the term Digital Citizenship mean to you? Without reading any further, you have probably already made a general assumption that it relates to your involvement in the cyber-world.  Generally speaking, that is correct, however there is much more to the story.  

​Our digital citizenship involved every aspect of our personal and professional use of digital tools.  It includes how we leverage tools for creating content, communicating, shopping, get our news, and more.  This section will be based on the Mike Ribble's book, "Digital Citizenship in Schools: Nine Elements All Students Should Know", Ribble (2015).
