  • Learners must be taught how to learn in a digital society. In other words, learners must be taught to learn anything, anytime, anywhere. 
  • Often rules and regulations are created or the technology is simply banned to stop inappropriate use. It is not enough to create rules and policy, we must teach everyone to become responsible digital citizens in this new society.
  • Ethical use manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to understand that stealing or causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.

  • Digital citizens have the right to privacy, free speech, etc. Basic digital rights must be addressed, discussed, and understood in the digital world.  With these rights also come responsibilities as well.  Users must help define how the technology is to be used in an appropriate manner. 
  • psychological issues that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet addiction.  Users need to be taught that there are inherent dangers of technology. Digital Citizenship includes a culture where technology users are taught how to protect themselves through education and training.
  • In our own homes, we put locks on our doors and fire alarms in our houses to provide some level of protection. The same must be true for the digital security. We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and surge control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must protect our information from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.
  • all students will have covered the topics and everyone would understand the basic ideas of digital citizenship.
  • The expanding digital communication options have changed everything because people are able to keep in constant communication with anyone else.
  • Users need to learn about how to be effective consumers in a new digital economy. 
  • Working toward equal digital rights and supporting electronic access is the starting point of Digital Citizenship. Digital exclusion makes it difficult to grow as a society increasingly using these tools. Helping to provide and expand access to technology should be goal of all digital citizens.

  • For those of us immersed in the world of technology, accustomed to the constant buzz of Twitter and secure in the knowledge that Google is always a click away, it can seem like this technology is everywhere and everyone has the skills to use it.
  • marginalized groups are the ones most adversely affected by the digital divide
  • We also need to make sure that when we’re thinking about participation, we remember that improving citizen access is the first step to making sure everyone is able to participate in digital democracy.

    "Last week, I wrote about how the internet facilitates civic participation and encourages individuals to connect with each other. But what about those on the other side of the digital divide? Not everyone has access to the technologies that enable this new kind of participation. As Gov 2.0 becomes the norm, and digital citizenship becomes even more intertwined with "offline" citizenship, how will we ensure that everyone is included in the benefits of participatory governance - not just those already fortunate enough to have broadband access at home and the know-how to use it effectively?"

    Bridging the digital divide means more than having "access," it includes digital literacy which ensures the birth of new ideas and informed citizens.

    ""Digital citizenship" is an umbrella term that covers a whole host of important issues. Broadly, it's the guidelines for responsible, appropriate behavior when one is using technology. But specifically, it can cover anything from "netiquette" to cyberbullying; technology access and the digital divide; online safety and privacy; copyright, plagiarism, and digital law, and more. In fact, some programs that teach digital citizenship have outlined no less than nine elements that intersect to inform a well-equipped digital citizen. It's an overwhelming array of skills to be taught and topics to explore."

  • The solutions Hobbs outlines are worth considering at the local level, as well. Is your school ready to think critically about the learning potential of social networks, games, and other popular media that many students use only outside of school? What is your community doing to close the digital divide for underserved groups such as juvenile offenders, recent immigrants, or the elderly? Are you making effective use of local technology resources -- or do you even know where to find them?

    Your students may be able to update their Facebook status in a heartbeat, but can they also write a thoughtful letter to the editor, voice their opinion on a call-in radio show, or access local media to advocate for community action? How well would parents or teachers in your community do at those tasks? In Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action, media literacy expert Renee Hobbs makes a strong case for deepening digital literacy -- not only for youth but for Americans of all ages. Improving our digital and media literacy will require nothing less than a national community education effort, Hobbs argues in a position paper recently published by the Aspen Institute and Knight Foundation. Sorting through the flood of information most of us encounter daily requires new knowledge and critical-thinking skills, she says.

    Some interesting thoughts about a continuum of access to technologies. A simple way to think about where schools are at in order to consider issues such as digital divide, access and digital citizenship.

  • transliteracy is potentially a unifying concept for what it means to be literate in the digital age extends transliteracy in 21st century to include multiple discourses, communication platforms and tools calls for change of perspective away from battles over print / digital, moves instead towards unifying ecology of media / all literacies relevant to reading, writing, interaction and culture, both past and present not intended to replace other terms that refer to print literacy; encompasses both media and digital literacy and (media) convergence not just computer–based materials, but all communication types across time and culture emphasizes lateral approach to historical, contextual and cultural issues / literacies; bridges and connects past, present and future modalities situated in a liminal space between being a new cognitive tool and the recovery of an old one refuses to presuppose any kind of offline/online divide considers ability to understand multiple media and modes of communication and kinds of literacy we apply online

    "The most obvious is that social networks are simply tools: when used for activities of which we approve - like riot cleanup, or the Arab spring - their power seems unambiguously positive. When used for other causes, it is portrayed as sinister. There's no way to embrace the immense good such tools can use without learning to live with, and mitigate, their downsides."
