Digital Citizenship provides information to teachers, parents, and especially students who use technology devices at home and at school. Many educators are hesitant to use technology in the classroom because they understand the risks associated with this type of learning. It is our responsibility, especially when asking students to complete assignments and assessments online, to actively observe and inform them on how to do this safely. Many students do not understand that a digital footprint is something that does not go away and for some, this could lead to repercussions both educationally and personally. Educating students and parents to where they feel comfortable is something that Digital Citizen can assist with. Digital citizenship is the ethical, moral, and responsible use of technology to ensure one’s own and others’ protection while collaborating in an increasingly digital, networked, and global society (Hawamdeh et al., 2022). This is where education has taken us, to a digi...

 Every day  there is a growing need for something to be digitalized, and personal information is getting harder and harder to keep secure. We live in a world that no longer needs cash to pay for things or mail when we can email or chat on social media. Due to the widespread use of digital media and the development of internet technologies, access to information is easier than ever and behaviors of sharing information increase day-by-day ( Emali et al., 2020). Digital rights implore rights to those who publish and construct projects and ideas in social media, blogs, projects, phones, and personal computers for individual or professional use. Students and teachers should understand that with technology comes great responsibility. Putting something on the internet makes it visible to anyone. As educators, we should understand the risks of sharing things and posting our opinions, but also maintaining privacy for a personal life digitally.   Digital Citizen provides edu...

  With the media being such a prevalent way to get messages across to people, especially students who are paying attention, it is vital that we educate them on media fluency. Students must be able to relate the information of the media effectively and efficiently through technology. This integration should be relevant through technology and communicated collaboratively. Therefore, the ability to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information to be beneficial is important for people of all generations, especially students (Hunsapun & Chen, 2019). It is important for teachers to explain to students that they must understand the information presented and then interpret that so that all parties, teachers and students, understand and can present it without having a biased opinion. Presenting all of the facts is essential as well. Students should understand how to effectively seek information and be able to ...

Learning cultures can be a very constructive way to engage and incorporate inclusion in the classroom or even the workplace. Having an organized learning culture creates a sense of belonging as well as value and trust for those that accept the skills and process. Teachers understand that all students are different and this plays a role in how we as educators should look at our demographics. They all have different values, beliefs, and backgrounds. Bringing students together for the sake of humanity and showing them how to converse and develop social norms are good for the future of society. Particularly, organizational learning culture may enable individuals to learn from each other allowing them to feel free to create creative ideas and transfer knowledge (Choi, 2020). Having the students understand that they are in a safe and effective learning culture with a stable environment leads to desired outcomes and positive learning. Students are more comfortable and free to discuss the mate...
