As Ribble (2015) states, the youth are already using these technologies, educators need to be able direct students to appropriate use. With that in mind, his three principles and nine elements of digital literacy provide an excellent starting off point. In an article from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Mike Ribble expands on his original nine elements of digital citizenship and categorizes them as follows.
Using these categories and the infographic above can help to navigate what it means to be a "good" digital citizen. R - Respect Be yourself, respectful, authentic, reasonable, kind, and thoughtful. The Golden Rule applies here. Treats others as you wish to be treated yourself. Think twice before posting, read it over and figure out how you would react if it was directed at you? Treat the intellectual property of others respectfully, follow your school's/work place's code of conduct even when you are not there. If there isn't one, then lobby to have one created. E - Educate Be inquisitive, empowered. Use the opportunity of being online to explore and find information. Be critical of what you read and share, check sources and websites for authenticity. Share your ideas and talents, create content rather than just consuming content. Blogs, videos, websites all offer ways for you to share what you know. P - Protect Be Safe, and aware. Guard your personal information and make smart choices about who you share it with. Be aware of your body and mind, do not over do it online, whether it is gaming, surfing, or any other activity, too much sitting and stagnation is not good for the body, mind or soul. Finally be kind and thoughtful. The world is already full of negativity, do not add to it.
