2. • . Recognized the five tenets of
global digital citizenship and the 9
elements of digital citizenship.
• Compared and contrasted one's
role as a citizen of a community
and that of a digital world.
• 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.
4. • 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.
• 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.
5. 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.
6. • Personal Responsibility
• Global Citizenship
• Digital Citizenship
• Altruistic Service
• Environmental Stewardship
7. 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
8. The Global Digital Citizen understands that technology

people. We now communicate, collaborate, and
celebrate across all levels of society. We are now all
global citizens.
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.
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.
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. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. "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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
