Digital Citizenship: a member of a worldwide community linked by the Internet. When we participate online—we become digital citizens. How do you think good digital citizens should behave? Let’s read a list of 11 rules that will help us make good choices in our online community. Think about each one carefully as we read it and decide if you are going to make a pledge to follow these rules.

1. Stay on task and only work on my assignment 2.Avoid playing online games without permission 3.Visit only websites that my teacher said are OK to go to 4.Keep my personal information private and not tell anyone my passwords 5. Report anything that I am not sure about to a teacher In order to provide a safe, effective digital learning environment, students promise to follow the following rules. Using the computer and electronic devices correctly and safely is very important. I promise to:

6. Ask for help when I don’t know what to do. 7. Take excellent care of all devices. 8. Avoid signing up for anything, and clicking on advertisements and “pop-ups”. 9. Respect and protect the work that others have done by citing sources and avoiding plagiarism. 10. Avoid downloading any programs or software onto devices without permission to do so. 11. Be a good digital citizen and communicate in safe, respectful, and kind ways and never be hurtful. If I break any of these promises, I know that I may not be able to use the computer or other electronic devices. I will sign my name to show that I will follow these promises.
