Week 5- digital citizen

Importance of Digital Citizenship

Why is it important to be a good digital citizen?
I believe there are many reasons why it is important to be a good digital citizen. I believe as teachers our personalities/traits will reflect in many of our students. It is important to be a good digital citizen so our students will see how to use technology in appropriate ways. If we use technology the way it is intended and not abuse it, the possibilities are limitless. However, if we abuse the internet it will have a negative impact. In order to be a digital citizen, I believe we need to be aware and know what is appropriate and inappropriate. Sometimes I think people don't know the difference and do things they think are okay when in fact they are not. If we model this behavior, I believe it will have a positive impact on our students.

What value does a good digital reputation have?
I think it has a huge value on a positive reputation. If we are confident in the way we use technology and use it in appropriate ways, we will have a positive reputation that will benefit us in the future. Technology is the basis for everything we do and will forever do. If we mess up our reputation it will have a negative impact on our professional lives in the future.
