Digital citizenship refers to safely and appropriately using technology. It allows users to benefit from the internet while protecting themselves and others. Some key aspects of positive digital citizenship include not posting rude or private content online, being cautious of personal information sharing, avoiding piracy or interacting with strangers, and maintaining a balanced use of technology alongside other activities. Teaching children proper digital citizenship skills is important as technology becomes more integrated into their lives.
