Digital Citizenship

Digital citizenship is a concept which allows students, teachers and even parents to access the knowledge that needs to be taught in order to better use technology.  Users need to know certain concepts and this tool is that very thing for us.  We need to be better informed so that our child's education can be most effective.  It is more than just a teaching tool though, it is a way to prepare students and users for a society full of technology.  Too often we are seeing students as well as ourselves as adults misusing and abusing technology but not sure what to do.  This citizenship also allows us to teach what students are to know as appropriate technology uses as well. Why is it important? Well, for that very reason, it helps us become a better generation that does not make the mistakes that are already known in the technology world.  Even learning what is fastest and which places or technology sources to tap into.  I do not have links that i would consider sharing with other students, yet, but I will seek as I move on in this class to find sources that will educate students to better access the uses of technology so they can climb in the education technological world!
