It is the teacher's responsibility to teach students digital citizenship. We cannot assume that they already know it just because they are a part of the digital world. According to Cool Cat Teacher, there are four major quadrants of digital citizenship:
1. Literacy - students need to learn to verify sources and make sure they are accurate.
2. Safety - students need to safely maneuver the internet.
3. Learning Strategies - using multiple sources of information.
4. Etiquette - respond using appropriate/proper digital etiquette.
All of these need to be modelled and reinforced with our students in order to provide them with both a rich and safe learning environment. We cannot only rely on the district's filters and must be vigilant with our students to keep them safe and yet allow them to learn and grow.
