The most important things about being good digital citizens for me are: being safe, being responsible, and being honest.
Being safe in the digital world is a huge topic that needs to be constantly addressed by parents, teachers, authorities, medias, etc. The social networking is an area where our teens rush into without realizing the consequences of their openness.
Being responsible in the digital world includes being kind with your comments and thinking before sending your thoughts out for everyone to see. Unfortunately, the cyber bulling becomes more and more common among the middle school students.
Being honest in the digital world associates with giving credit to your sources of information. Although the battle against the plagiarism has been fought for a long time, the digital generation needs daily clarification on the copyright law issues.
