Digital Ethics and Etiquette Many safety advocates believe that inappropriate online behavior such as bullying, plagiarism, and piracy are the direct result of poor ethics and a lack of etiquette.

Don’t place anything online you wouldn’t want your grandmother seeing.

Digital etiquette:  Be polite towards your digital peers and treat them the way you want would want to be treated.  When citing or using others productions, always make sure you ask for permission and when granted credit them back as the sources of your information.  Participate actively against cyberbullying by reporting to admins instances of potential bullying you would come cross. Only post and share you think have a value if not then don't post.  Embrace difference and know that others might hold opposing views.  Respect them and debate with them civilly If you share personal staff online ( videos, images) make sure it's only with people close to you and can trust fully.

Digital Literacy Many online safety incidents are the result of a lack of digital literacy. Young people who are literate in the online world will have a better chance of avoiding risky situations, will make better decisions, and will better understand how to protect their privacy. But digital literacy involves more than just technical competency—it requires critical thinking skills in order to evaluate many different sources of information.
