Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone using computers, the internet, and digital devices. It is important for safety, respectful interactions, and managing personal information. Educators need to evaluate how students use technology and provide examples of appropriate use. Issues include a lack of digital etiquette training and the need to teach respectful and responsible behavior online. Digital citizenship involves the process of teaching and learning about technology use through developing skills like digital communication, literacy, rights, access, commerce, laws, and safety precautions.

Citizenship important?

5. What is Digital Citizenship?
Digital citizenship refers to the responsible
use of technology by anyone who uses
computers, the Internet, and digital devices to
engage with society on any level.
It is important for everyone using it
because it ensures their safety online,
promotes respect in digital interactions, and
teaches responsibility in managing personal
information and media consumption.

7. Digital Citizenship Today
Now is the time for educators, as well
as other adults, to begin to evaluate how
are children/learners using technology.
Within this presentation, there will be
examples of how we, as educators, can
begin the process of teaching students
how to use technology more appropriately.

10. The electronic standards of
conduct or procedure.

11. We can see it, but do they?
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.
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 and policy, we must teach
everyone to become responsible digital citizens in
this new society.

16. It’s a digital revolution
One of the significant changes within
the digital revolution is a person’s ability
to communicate with other people. We
cannot deny the fact that communication
is an essential core system of our lives. We
understand and percept the world
through communication. Life would feel
incomplete without interacting with
others.

Evolution of Communication

18. Evolution of Communication
Evolution of communication technology
has made progress over thousands of years.
This evolution will continue to grow so with
the changing world. The expanding digital
communication options have changed
everything because people are able to keep in
constant communication with anyone else.
Anyone is afforded the opportunity to access
information anywhere and anytime.
Unfortunately, many users have not been
taught how to make appropriate decisions
when faced with so many different digital
communication options.

19. The process of teaching and
learning about technology and the
use of technology.

20. Digital Rights and Responsibilities
 Everyone is entitled to the same basic set of
digital rights.
 These include the right to privacy, free speech,
etc. (Republic Act No. 10173)
 AUP(Acceptable Use Policies) are an example
of waiving rights for Digital Access.

21. Digital Literacy
 Each of you, please tell
one thing that you
excel at when it comes
to working in a digital
environment. You may
be an expert at a
computer program, or
you could be an
excellent in video
editing. You can say
anything that comes to
your mind.

22. Data from the 2019 National ICT
Household Survey suggest that
digital literacy skills are fairly
limited. Only 2 in 5 Filipinos have at
least 1 of the 6 basic information and
communications technology skills
monitored for the Sustainable
Development Goals.

25. Learning isn’t just for classrooms anymore!
 While schools have made great progress around technology infusion,
much remains to be done. A renewed focus must be made on what
technologies must be taught as well as how it should be used. New
technologies are finding their way into the workplace that is not being
used in schools. In addition, workers in many different occupations
need information when they need it (just-in-time information). This
process requires sophisticated searching and processing skills (i.e.,
information literacy). Students must be taught how to learn in a
digital society. In other words, they must be taught to learn anything,
anytime, anywhere. Business, military, and medicine are excellent
examples of how technology is being used differently in the 21st
century. As new technologies emerge, students need to learn how to
use that technology quickly and appropriately. Digital Citizenship
involves educating a new breed of person—information workers with
a high degree of information literacy skills.

26. Full electronic participation in a
digital society.

27. Digital Access
What kind of internet
access do you have at
home?
Are you satisfied with
the current
accessibility in the
school system?
What could be
improved?
Digital Access includes:
 Internet Connectivity
 Equipment availability
 Software availability
 The time to use the
available resources.

28. Digital Equal Rights
 Technology needs to be aware and support
electronic access for everyone to create a
foundation for Digital Citizenship. Digital
exclusion of any kind does not enhance the
growth of human beings in an electronic
society. Electronic access should not be
determined by race, physical or mental
challenges. Those in cities or towns with
limited connectivity need to be addressed as
well. To become productive citizens, we need
to be committed to equal digital access.

29. Digital Divide
 The digital divide is a term that refers to
the gap between demographics and
regions that have access to modern
information and communications
technology (ICT), and those that don't or
have restricted access. This technology
can include the telephone, television,
personal computers and internet
connectivity.

30. The electronic buying and selling of
goods.

32. Digital Commerce
 Technology users need to understand that a
large share of market economy is being done
electronically. Legitimate and legal exchanges
are occurring. The mainstream availability of
Internet purchases of toys, clothing, cars,
food, etc. has become commonplace. At the
same time, an equal amount of
illegal/immoral goods and services are
surfacing such as pornography and gambling.
Users need to learn about how to be effective
consumers in a new digital economy.

33. Electronic responsibility for actions
and deeds

34. The internet has laws?!
 Digital law deals with the ethics of technology.
Unethical use manifests itself in form of theft
and/or crime. Ethical use manifests itself in the
form of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to
understand that stealing or cause damage to other
people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.
There are certain rules of society that fall under
illegal acts. These laws apply to anyone who works or
plays online. Hacking into others information,
downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating
destructive worms, viruses or creating Trojan
Horses, sending spam, or stealing anyone’s identify
or property is unethical.

35. Digital Law
The Philippine Congress enacted
Republic Act No. 10175 or
“Cybercrime Prevention Act of
2012” which completely address
crimes committed against and by
means of computer system on 12
September 2012. It includes penal
substantive rules, procedural rules
and also rules on international
cooperation.

36. Digital Law
The Philippines acknowledges the
detrimental effects of cyberbullying
and has implemented laws to address
this issue. The Anti-Bullying Act of
2013 (Republic Act No. 10627)
recognizes the importance of
preventing and responding to
bullying, including cyberbullying, in
educational institutions. institutions.
Schools are mandated to adopt
policies and mechanisms to effectively
handle and address bullying incidents.

37. The freedoms extended to everyone
in a digital world.

38. Digital Rights & Responsibilities
 Digital rights and responsibilities set an expectation
that each user will follow the rules and procedures, as
identified in school and at home. In an ideal world,
when someone posts, shares, comments, emails and
so forth, others will enjoy the information without
abusing it, passing it off as their own work, or use it
to threaten or harass. Unfortunately, this is not
always the case and it is important to set some
boundaries and maybe advocate the mantra of do not
harm. Students need a clear understanding of how to
behave in an online world.

39. Physical and psychological
well-being in a digital
technology world

40. Wear goggles while typing..
 Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome, and sound
ergonomic practices are issues that need to be
addressed in a new technological world. Beyond the
physical issues are those of the psychological issues
that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet
addiction. Users need to be taught that their inherent
dangers of technology. Digital Citizenship includes a
culture where technology users are taught how to
protect themselves through education and training.
