What does it mean to be a digital citizenship?

As stated to my module Digital citizenship covers appropriate and exemplary behavior in our online environments. It’s about working towards making our transparent digital world safe for ourselves and others. Just like personal responsibility, this involves moving accountability for appropriate behavior to our students. We teach them how to govern their behavior, act in just and moral ways, and lead by good example in all online associations. In doing so, they foster independence within themselves and hopefully light the way for others to do same.
