Digital Citizenship can be learned by students and teachers

The website Edsurge has posted an article concerning the importance of teachers and students learning about digital citizenship.  Titled "Why Digital Citizenship is an opportunity for students and educators to learn together",details how adults often fall into the trap of becoming too open with their social media posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.  These habits can be learned by children as well, causing them to share way more and less indiscriminately because they don't know proper "Netiquette".


The website Flocabulary has created a rap video citing 10 rules for how to (and how not to) behave online, titled "Think Before You Post".  This video could serve as an excellent discussion-starter when teaching students about how to be a responsible digital citizen.
