 * Define Digital Citizenship:**

There are several components that constitute the model for defining digital citizenship. First and foremost, the knowledge and utilization of technology must be prioritized in the cognitive development of any digital citizen, but, in many documented cases, it is necessary to promote a positive and productive attitude toward technology. In order to do so, users must understand how to efficiently and effectively utilize online tools, but they must also learn to communicate appropriately and ethically in online situations. Teaching in the digital world requires patience and flexibility, as grappling with the ever-changing tide of technological advancements can be quite the task, and, in many cases, teaching in the digital world is also learning in the digital world.

The article “Digital Citizenship: Addressing Appropriate Technology Behavior” by Mike S. Ribble, Gerald D. Bailey, and Tweed W. Ross identifies the nine general components that make up the general concept of //digital citizenship//:


 * 1) Etiquette: //standards of online behavior//
 * 2) Communication: //exchange of information//
 * 3) Education: //teaching and learning about technology//
 * 4) Access: //full electronic participation//
 * 5) Commerce: //electronic buying and selling of goods//
 * 6) Responsibility: //electronic accountability for actions and deeds//
 * 7) Rights: //freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world//
 * 8) Safety: //physical well-being in a digital setting//
 * 9) Security: //electronic precautions that guarantee safety//


 * The Cultural Impact**

Are there universal, digital issues that affect or influence social behavior in online settings? The cultural impact can be gauged by how global communities behave and interact in cybernetic networks.

The article “Transformative Power of Digital Citizenship: Critical Perspectives on Culture, New Media and Pedagogy” indicates that access to online interactions gives users a “wide range of viewpoints by reverencing individual cultural differences and giving more attention to diversity issues.”

 * Brief Summary of "Digital citizenship: Developing an ethical and responsible online culture" by Cathy Oxley.**

This paper was presented by Cathy Oxley at a conference in Brisbane, Australia in September 2010. In this work, Oxley argues that teachers need to educate students about the dangers and benefits of living in a 21st century, globally connected world. She includes the definition of digital citizenship from Mike Ribble, who has named 9 elements of digital citizenship. (These elements are listed already in our class Wiki, so I will not post them here.) Oxley argues that developing a digital citizenship program is critical because students think they are anonymous online, they are not aware of their digital footprint, and they are also not well-educated on the ramifications of illegal and uncivil online behavior. Oxley includes many resources for teachers such as the Digital Dossier Youtube video and Ribble’s Digital Compass, where the points on the compass show allow students to explore the varying shades of gray found in online behavior. As Ribble reminds teachers students need to critical think about and talk about online behavior, instead of being handed another list of rules:"If teachers are going to teach students about the potential dangers of misusing and abusing technology, in the 21st century, a digital citizenship compass becomes a handy tool. Learning digital citizenship is rooted in discussion and dialogue and not in acceptable use policies (AUPs) that are simply lists of dos and don'ts” (as cited in Oxley, 2010, p. 5). This is a fine article with reasons for teaching digital citizenship and resources to help teachers get started.
