2. “May you live in Interesting Times” When I first heard this quote in the 1994 Movie “Disclosure” it sounded more of a welcoming phrase than a curse. The origin appears to be a Chinese curse: “May you experience much upheaval and trouble in your life” or "It is better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period.“ Perhaps today it is both.

3. What is Digital Citizenship? We define as: The norms appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
