Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately. Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology.
IF we can work together, restrictions placed on all the students can be lightened. The crass actions of the few should not (but sadly do) hinder those of us who know how to behave. By this age, we should all know right from wrong. Myspace shouldn't have to be blocked; it should just be common knowledge that visiting your personal blog during your educational time period is not right.
