A good citizen is someone who
behaves well, looks after
themselves and others, and tries
to make their community a better
place. A good digital citizen acts
exactly the same way. However, the
online world is bigger than just
a local neighborhood, city, or
country. It spans the whole world
and crosses every kind of border.
It is therefore up to all digital
citizens everywhere to make this
digital community a safe, fun, and
exciting place for everyone.
Citizen vs Digital Citizen
When we log onto the internet, we become part
of a giant online world.
In this world we can use our smartphones, tablets, and
computers to explore, create, and communicate with
billions of different people. Together, these people make
up a global digital community. That is why they are known
as digital citizens. When you use the internet you are a
digital citizen too. So what does this mean?
