Digital Citizenship Resources

Digital citizenship is the ability to participate safely, intelligently, productively and responsibly in the digital world.

Digital citizenship should also include positive, creative, deliberate use of technological tools and skills to create, connect, communicate, and collaborate in ways that make a positive contribution to family, school, and community life.
