Digital Citizen Lesson

This lesson helps students understand the responsibilities and rights of digital citizen. This power point slide show starts with agree or disagree statements to help establish what the students think and know about digital citizenship. Designed to be used for high school students, it is equally useful for middle school.
While researching for this lesson, I was struck by how vulnerable we are today, thanks to the internet. I have re-evaluated my personal use of social media. More importantly, I have reminded my teenaged children of the dangers, risks, and responsibilities of using social media, and being smart consumers of the internet in general.
