Safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and
technology
"Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use."- Mike Ribble.
In this
day in age, it is incredibly easy to take someone’s work for one’s own. Simply
highlight the selected text, copy, then paste into your own document, signing
it with your name. As teachers, it is crucial for us to make sure that our
students know what is right or wrong when it comes to the internet.
To appropriately use other people’s
works off of the World Wide Web, it must, must, must be cited, by giving
appropriate credit to the owner, where credit is due. Even though you might
find it on your computer, does not mean it is yours to take.
As a teacher, it is important for
me to not only model this good internet behavior for my students, but enforce
it as well. Young adults especially need to understand that stealing other people's intellectual property isn't just wrong, it's against the law.
