Brainpop has some good videos about digital citizenship. I would show the videos about digital etiquette, cyberbullying, online safety and copyright. The students will come up with a presentation using one of the things under Tool #3 to show to their classmates. They will also create a one-liner saying on a poster like: "Cite Your Source," "Be Safe on Cyberspace," etc.
1. Digital Rights and Responsibility - Just like being a good citizen in real life, in the e-world people have to be a good digital citizen as well to make it a safe place for our young. They have freedom of speech, but they need to understand that they have to use appropriate language and not to send rude remarks. I would discuss with them the danger of cyberbullying so none of them would be a part nor a victim of it.
2. Digital Communication - it is important to discuss this with students so they will be careful in exchanging information on the internet. They should not give any personal details nor meet somebody they meet online without adult permission.
3. Digital Law - students need to learn to cite the source of their information and pictures whenever they do their research project and understand copyrights.
