DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP VS. GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

1. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
VS.
GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

2. LESSON OUTCOMES
1. Recognized the five tenets of global digital citizenship and the
9 elements of digital citizenship.
2. Compared and contrasted one's role as a citizen of a
community and that of a digital world.
3. Shared ways on how one can observe social, ethical, and legal
responsibilities in the use of technology tools and resources.

3. Since we are considered citizens of the
community we live in, then as users of
the internet we can also call ourselves
as citizens of the digital world where
we live, learn, and work in an
interconnected manner. Digital
citizenship is an idea that all persons
using the internet have civic rights
and responsibilities. It centers around
safe, savvy and ethical use of
technology.
Digital vs. Global
Citizenship

4. Summing up, a global citizen sees
the world as a community in
which all people live and prosper
together. He/she understands that
his/her actions contribute to the
values of the entire planet and
he/she is concerned on how
he/she participates in and
contributes to the entire world. A
digital citizen, on the other hand,
adheres to guidelines that govern
the ethical and responsible use of
technology and acts responsibly in
all relationships and interactions in
the digital world.
When we mix these two together,
it's the perfect recipe for the Global
Digital Citizen. A global digital
citizen is a responsible, ethical
citizen leveraging technology to
foster community on a global scale
through connection and compassion.
The Global Digital Citizen
understands that we can govern
technology for the benefit of both
ourselves and others. It is a citizen
that views the world as an
interconnected community.
Additionally, the digital citizen
realizes that we simultaneously
share technological and human
experiences regardless of culture,
status, or political/ religious beliefs
(Watanabe-Crockett, 2017).

Five Tenets of
Citizenship

7. Personal
Responsibility
Personal responsibility includes
demonstrating how we manage
ourselves in matters such as;
• personal finance
• ethical and moral boundaries
• personal health and wellness
• relationships of every kind; and
• developing a sense of accountability
Encouraging this in the
classroom as early as
possible can help
students develop high-
level critical thinking
and problem solving
abilities to assist them
in every aspect of their
lives.

8. The Global Digital Citizen understands
that technology has dissolved
boundaries between all the world's
people. We now communicate,
collaborate, and celebrate across all
levels of society. We are now all
global citizens.
Global
Citizenship
Our students must realize,
among other things, that
we aren't isolated from
each other anymore. A
deep understanding of this
new global
interconnectedness can
encourage them to be
aware of the issues,
traditions, values, and
cultures of other citizens.
This leads to cultivating
understanding, acceptance,
compassion, and humility.

9. Digital citizenship covers appropriate and
exemplary behavior in our online
environments. It's about working towards
making our transparent digital world safe for
ourselves and others. Just like personal
responsibility, this involves moving
accountability for appropriate behavior to our
students. We teach them how to govern their
behavior, act in just and moral ways, and
lead by good example in all online
associations. In doing so, they foster
independence within themselves and hopefully
light the way for others to do the same.
Digital Citizenship

10. The Global Digital Citizens acknowledge
that they share this world with many
different people. These ideals apply to
the people we know, but also to those we
don't know. These include embracing the
opportunity to exercise charity and
goodwill for the benefit of others. The
practice of altruistic service provides
opportunities for our students to create
meaningful connections to the real world.
It gives them the chance to reach out to
others and do things that can make a
person's experiences better or easier in
everyday life. This produces a sense of
community and well-being for all.
Altruistic Service
What is Altruism?
Altruism is defined as "having a
selfless concern for the well-
being of others."

11. This practice is all about common-sense values
and an appreciation for the beauty and majesty
that surround us every day. This facet of
Global Digital Citizenship encourages exploring
how we can practice the conscientious use of
Earth's resources, Environmental stewardship
encourages every student to take a positive
stand on personal, local, regional, national
national, and international actions regarding
the preservation of what is essentially our
"environmental community" This facet of Global
Digital Citizenship reinforces the idea that we
have one world that we all live on. It's vital
that we respect it and take steps to ensure its
beauty and longevity for all future generations
(Watanabe-Crockett, 2017).

12. Elements of Digital Citizenship

14. Digital Access
Access
Equal digital rights and electronic access is the starting point of digital citizenship.
Digital access is supposed to be available to all in the same manner that education
is made sure by the Philippine government to be available to all citizens.
Currently, on this matter, the Republic Act 10929 was signed on July 25, 2016
requiring all public places in the country to have free internet access. Public
places in this act covers national and local government offices, public basic
education institutions, state universities and colleges and TESDA technology
institutions, public and barangay reading centers, public airports and seaports, and
public transport terminals. Despite this law, however, many are still deprived of
internet access and therefore deprived of some resources. To become productive
citizens, we need to provide and expand access to technology and we need to be
committed that no one is denied digital access.

15. Digital Commerce
Technology users need to understand that a large share of market is being
done electronically. Nowadays people shop through different websites and even
do online transactions for banking. Many other online transactions are occurring
including the illegal downloading, pornography, and others thus a safe and
secure online shopping and other commercial transactions have to be done.
With this, an e-commerce act or RA 8972 was signed in July 2000. This Act
aims to facilitate domestic and international dealings, transactions,
arrangements, agreements, contracts and exchanges and storage of information
through the utilization of electronic, optical and similar medium, mode,
instrumentality and technology to recognize the authenticity and reliability of
electronic documents related to such activities and to promote the universal
use of electronic transaction in the government and general public.

16. Digital
Communication
It is another element of Digital Citizenship that we seem to
be embracing wholeheartedly. Digital communication is the
electronic exchange of communication which includes
emailing, texting, instant messaging, utilizing cell phones,
etc. As digital communication continues to grow, it is
important that we do not forget how to communicate face to
face. We have to utilize digital channels of communication to
enhance our ability to communicate, but do not allow it to
replace our ability to communicate.

17. As digital citizens, it is our responsibility to develop and
continually enhance our technological knowledge. We should
support and encourage the acquisition of technological
knowledge by others. We should model the positive and
proactive use of technology for good causes, personal and
professional growth and education.
Digital Literacy

18. This refers to the electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
This is often seen as one of the most pressing problems when
dealing with Digital Citizenship. Imagine a teenager who spreads
hate speech about a classmate online. Or one who browses
Facebook while attending Mass. Browsing social media sites have
become so addictive that young people tend to lose distinction
between what is appropriate and what is not. It begins with
rules. It is not enough however to create rules and policies,
everyone must be taught to become responsible digital citizens.
Digital Etiquette

19. Digital law refers to the electronic responsibility for actions
and deeds. The digital world is so huge that there should be
order, discipline, and ethical use. Plagiarism, copyright
infringement, hacking of information, identity theft are crimes
that are commonly violated by online users. As digital citizens,
we must be aware of these illegal behaviors so that we can
avoid them and report those who illegally engage in them.
Digital Law

20. "For every right, there is a corresponding duty and for every
privilege, there is a corresponding responsibility." The
privileges of digital access come along with responsibility.
Just as the Philippine constitution protects us with rights of
being Filipino citizens such as the right to privacy, we also
have the responsibility to be cautious in our online activities
such as posting our photos and videos online.
Digital Rights
and
Responsibilities

21. Our physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology
world should be a priority. Many illnesses have become associated
with technology use such as carpal tunnel syndrome, eyestrain and
childhood obesity as an effect of children's prolonged sitting in
front of the computer screen. Technology has also posed an
inherent danger of addiction and threat from online predators.
Thus, children and adults alike must learn how to protect
themselves as digital citizens through education and training.
Digital Health and
Wellness

22. How to keep oneself secure in any community is a major
concern. If we keep our homes safe with gates and locks,
we also need to protect the information that we provide
online with privacy setting and strong passwords. We also
need to have virus protection and backups of our data. As
responsible digital citizens, we must know how to keep our
data, our money, and our identity from all hazards in the
digital world.
