"Often we invoke the word 'citizenship' in terms of our rights - our rights to privacy and to free speech,
for example. But citizenship is also about responsibilities - responsibilities to maintain, to protect, and
to enhance the community in which we live." -- Audrey Watters
What is "digital citizenship" and "ethical participation" online?:
- Stepping Up - Saying "I do" to respecting all people and "I don't" to cyberbullying and risky online behaviors.
- Building Identities - Saying "I do" to maintaining a responsible digital footprint and "I don't" to inappropriate online behavior.
- Respecting Boundaries - Saying "I do" to respecting others' intellectual property and "I don't" to pirating and plagiarism.
- Protecting Online Security - Saying "I do" to taking precautions to protect my computer and personal information
