LESSON
2 - Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship refers to the responsible and appropriate use of
technology by individuals in the digital world. It encompasses understanding
how to use digital tools safely, ethically, and effectively. Good digital citizenship
involves practicing online safety, respecting others' rights and privacy,
recognizing credible sources, avoiding cyberbullying, and understanding the
long-term impact of digital footprints.
"Digital
citizenship is the continuously developing norms of appropriate, responsible,
and empowered technology use."
1. Key Elements of Digital Citizenship:
Digital Etiquette – Using
technology respectfully and responsibly.
Digital Communication –
Understanding how to communicate effectively online.
Digital Literacy – Evaluating
information and understanding how digital systems work.
Digital Access – Advocating
for equal digital rights and access for everyone.
Digital Law – Understanding and following laws related to digital content and behavior.
Digital Rights and Responsibilities – Knowing one's rights online and acting responsibly.
Digital
Health and Wellness – Maintaining a healthy balance between digital and
real-world interactions.
Digital Security – Protecting
personal information and digital devices.
Digital Commerce –
Understanding safe and responsible buying and selling online.
2. Digital Footprints and Identity refer to the traces of a person’s online activity and how these shape their representation on the internet. Both concepts are crucial in understanding how individuals interact with the digital world and how they are perceived by others.
A. Digital footprint is the record or trail left by the activities you do online. It includes data from your web browsing history, social media activity, email exchanges, and any other interaction you have on the internet.
Types of Digital Footprints:
Active
Digital Footprint – Information that a user intentionally shares online
(e.g., social media posts, blog comments).
Passive Digital Footprint – Information collected without the user’s direct input (e.g., browsing history, cookies, location data).
Digital footprints can be used by employers, schools, advertisers, or even hackers to build a profile of a person. They are permanent and can impact personal privacy, security, and reputation.
B.
Digital Identity is
the set of data that uniquely identifies a person or entity online. This can
include usernames, passwords, social media profiles, digital certificates, and
behavior patterns.
Components:
Identifiers (e.g.,
email address, username)
Attributes (e.g.,
name, age, location)
Behavioral Data (e.g., interaction patterns, preferences)
Digital identity determines how individuals are recognized and treated online. It is used for authentication (logging in to websites), personalization, and even surveillance. Managing digital identity responsibly is vital to maintaining online security and credibility.
