1. Digital Citizenship
By Christopher, Jeet, Hamish and Harry

2. There are nine elements to
Master if you want to become
a good Digital Citizen

3. Digital Access
• Tech users need to be aware of the electronic
accessibility rates and try to support them. This is all
part of digital citizenship.
• Digital exclusion is not respected nor tolerated. If
we
all get fair access to technology we can be productive
citizens of technology.

4. Digital Commerce
• Tech users need to be aware of issues with buying and
selling items on the internet on websites like eBay
and TradeMe.
• Users need to understand that market economy is
being done online. These days a lot of Internet
purchases have been done.

5. Digital Communication
• In the nineteenth century communication was
limited.
• Nowadays the technology has increased in knowledge
and has a wider variety.
• Digital communication has changed and offered new
programs like communication apps and other very
useful apps.

6. Digital literacy
• Learners must be taught to learn in a digital society.
New technology is finding its way into many work
places that you wouldn't find in schools like video
conferencing.
• Citizens need to learn how to use technology
appropriately and responsibly.

7. Digital etiquette
• When it comes to digital etiquette it's the most
pressing problem as being a digital citizen.
• Some citizens behave badly and can get banned on
some websites. Those citizens don't even bother to
have etiquette. People who do care must teach other
citizens to care.

8. Digital Law
• Users need to understand that damaging and
stealing other peoples work, identity or property
online is against the law. These rules apply to
everyone on the Internet. Hacking or doing illegal
things on the Internet is unethical.

9. Digital Rights & Responsibilities
• As In the American constitution there is a bill of rights connected
with digital citizenship.
• Basic rights include privacy and freedom of speech, basic digital
rights need to be addressed discussed and understood by the
digital world. Digital rights also come with responsibilities
though such as being able to help define technology using
appropriate manner.
• In a digital society these two areas of digital citizenship must
work together to make each digital citizen a productive citizen.

10. Digital Health & Wellness
• Eye safety, stress syndrome and sound ergonomic
practices are only some of the illness people can get
using technology. These issues need to be addressed in
the new technological world or else people could have
serious psychological sickness.
• They are becoming more prevalent by the year.
Internet addiction is also another example of this. User
of the digital world need to be taught how to protect
themselves from the dangers of life on the Internet.
One good way to do this is through education and
training.

11. Digital Security (Self-Protection)
• In any community there are people who steal or
disrupt other people the same applies in a digital
society. It is not safe to trust other people on the web.
• We put locks and secure our houses and valuables.
The same applies for all your computers and other
technology and as responsible citizens, we must
protect our computers from viruses and back up our
computers.
