A Digital Citizenship Definition


We are in the process of creating each class a digital citizen poster. I know that each class brainstormed what they thought this meant but I found this definition on the Netsafe website... have you included these points in your posters?


A Digital Citizenship Definition
Drawing from the Key Competencies and Values in the NZ Curriculum and a growing body of research knowledge, NetSafe, in consultation with New Zealand teachers has produced this definition of a New Zealand digital citizen.
A digital citizen...
  • is a confident and capable user of ICT
  • uses technologies to participate in educational, cultural, and economic activities
  • uses and develops critical thinking skills in cyberspace
  • is literate in the language, symbols, and texts of digital technologies
  • is aware of ICT challenges and can manage them effectively
  • uses ICT to relate to others in positive, meaningful ways
  • demonstrates honesty and integrity and ethical behaviour in their use of ICT 
  • respects the concepts of privacy and freedom of speech in a digital world 
  • contributes and actively promotes the values of digital citizenship
