 The Grand Island Central School District is committed to preparing our students for life and work in the 21st century. To reach that goal, we offer this wiki filled with resources, ideas and guidelines for providing instruction in the area of Digital Citizenship. This wiki is intended to help teachers learn more about Digital Citizenship, related concepts and how to teach them.

Digital Citizenship can be described as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use. Ribble & Bailey (2007, p. 10) have identified [|nine elements] as a way of understanding the complexity of digital citizenship and the issues of technology use, abuse, and misuse.


 * 1) **Digital Access** - full electronic participation in society
 * 2) **Digital Commerce** - the buying and selling of goods online
 * 3) **Digital Communication** - the electronic exchange of information
 * 4) **Digital Literacy** - the capability to use digital technology and knowing when and how to use it
 * 5) **Digital Etiquette** - the standards of conduct expected by other digital technology users
 * 6) **Digital Law** - the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use
 * 7) **Digital Rights & Responsibilities** - the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them
 * 8) **Digital Health & Wellness** - the elements of physical and psychological well-being related to digital technology use
 * 9) **Digital Security** - the precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal safety and the security of their network
