Digital Citizenship... In my opinion begins at home with parents. We are constantly letting our children know of the dangers around us as we go shopping, out to eat, parks, even letting them know the programs or movies that are inappropriate for them at their age. We raise our children to be aware of danger and detect it. The same can be done by teachers and parents by teaching our children good digital citizenship on a daily basis or as we use the technology in our classrooms. I would also make my students aware (to a certain extent) of the consequences of wrong choices while using the Internet, this is important because they will be growing up encountering technology through out the rest of their lives.
