2. Digital Etiquette
Technology users often see this area as one of the most
pressing problems when dealing with Digital Citizenship.
We recognize inappropriate behavior when we see it, but
before people use technology they do not learn digital
etiquette (i.e., appropriate conduct).
Many people feel uncomfortable talking to others about
their digital etiquette.
Often rules and regulations are created or the technology
is simply banned to stop inappropriate use.
It is not enough to create rules, we must teach everyone
(each other) to become responsible digital citizens in this
new society.

3. Digital Etiquette
Simply put, this is using your smart phone, email, text
messages is ways that just aren't cool ...or in ways that
may offend someone. This could be your friend, a
teacher, a parent, or even a complete stranger.

4. Technology users need to be aware of and support
electronic access for all to create a foundation for Digital
Citizenship.
Digital exclusion of any kind does not enhance the growth
of users in an electronic society.
All people should have fair access to technology no
matter who they are.
Places or organizations with limited connectivity need to
be addressed as well.
To become productive citizens, we need to be committed
to equal digital access.
