Reflection
The importance of understanding digital citizenship is that it is more than simply how we act online. Digital citizenship has evolved, just like the rest of technology, to incorporate many facets of life such as the self, agent, and interactor. These three spheres of digital citizenship show an individual’s impact in an online setting. One resource that I found to teach about these three spheres is called Interland. This website teaches students about online presence through video game tasks. I use this in the classroom now and students really enjoy it and remember what they have learned about internet safety. I appreciated the new digital citizenship infographic as I feel it provides an overall picture of how one person can influence and be part of the digital world. I think students think that digital citizenship means staying safe on the internet but in reality, it means so much more. By focusing on the impact one can have I think it provides a fresh new meaning to the concept of digital citizenship. I plan to incorporate these three spheres into my classroom projects and activities so that students can see the impact that they can have in an online world.
