Digital Citizenship in the 21st Century 

What is digital citizenship? In today's 21st century world of instantaneous access to millions of pages of information and social media connections, digital citizenship asks Internet users to be responsible and ethical users of technology and information. Responsible digital citizens gather reliable information, follow copyright and fair use laws, and carefully cite their sources, including images found online. Digital Citizens also use the Internet and social media positively, do not participate in cyber bullying or trolling, and think twice before positing pictures of themselves and their friends.
