Digital Citizenship What is a community? What are some types of communities you are part of? How do we behave as good citizens in our classroom community? Your school community? Brentwood? Your State and Country? Are you part of any online communities? How are online communities different than offline communities? How are they similar? Mary Casey Black What are some examples of how you can be a good member of one of these communities?

Digital Citizenship: a member of a worldwide community linked by the Internet. When we participate online—we become digital citizens. How do you think good digital citizens should behave?

Let’s take a closer look at 3 responsibilities we all have as being good Digital Citizens: 1)Digital Security – keeping passwords private 2)Social Media – positive self image 3)Netiquette – online manners

Digital security: Password Tips • Don’t give passwords to others • Never give out your password in an email, even if someone asks for it • Not when you’re at school but all other times create a password make sure it has: • At least one capital letter • At least one number • No one should ask for your personal information in an email, if they do show an adult you trust right away

Keeping a Positive Self Image Online There are SO many ways to communicate digitally. Some people use texting, instant message, email, social media, and skype:

Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA") It is important to check the bylaws on some of the programs/sources we choose to use online, because there are often rules and regulations in place to help control and protect those who use them. Did you know that most social media sites have age requirements? Many Social Medias require you to be the age of 13 to participate. Do you know why these types of laws are in place?

Etiquette -the rules for the proper way to behave. I often refer to how we behave online as “netiquette”. There is a certain way we should act face-to-face as well as on-line! It is just as important to be kind and polite online if not more! Make sure you always follow these guidelines and rules when communicating online—so that you have good netiquette! Social Media • Do not tag people in posts or pictures without permission • THINK before you post any comments • Do not use ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME, it’s like YELLING! Emai l • Write a short description in the subject line • Start with a greeting, it’s like a letter • End the email with your name • Don’t use ALL CAPS

What is a pledge? Do you think you have what it takes to be a good digital citizen? Let’s look at 11 rules that will help us make good choices in our online community.

At the end of the list, if you agree to follow these guidelines, join the class in signing a gumball for our class Digital Citizen poster!
