Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship

The article about Digital Citizenship was really interesting. Not only does digital Citizenship prepare students how to use the technology appropriately, it also teaches our students and technology users how to be prepared for a society that is full of technological devices.  The benefits of Digital Citizenship when dealing with social media can help connect with friends and family, quick access of communication by sharing your ideas with others, brings people together who may have the same interest, advertise your company or a friends and can also share your information for other to learn from. The benefits of Digital Citizenship are endless.  The downfall of Digital Citizenship can increase Cyber-bullying and can also be a distraction for what is important. Rumors can spread rapidly using Digital Citizenship and people can pretend to be someone else. I don’t think people should trust all the information they read in social media because we have people who perform fraudulent acts on the computer. We have our ups and downs about Digital Citizenship, it is just the way we as people use it.
