6. Areas of awareness: Technological Awareness
Access to the tools and an awareness of how to use the tool is important for connecting and for
communicating.
@vanschaijik 6

7. Awareness of self A digital citizen must be
aware of one’s values
and goals and to have
the self-confidence to
advocate for oneself
online and speak out
when issues arise.
@vanschaijik 7

8. Area of awareness: Social Awareness
A third lens to view awareness through is Social awareness. Social awareness allows the
learner to interpret situations and retain interpersonal skills with face-to-face and online
friends and colleagues.

9. Area of awareness: Cultural Awareness
Understanding that the world is diverse and that other cultures have different religions, holidays,
school practices and that it is important to find commonalities rather than focus always on differences.
@vanschaijik 9

10. Areas of awareness: Global Awareness
Understanding geography, politics, and local bandwidth concerns and the fact that one should
understand these areas leads to a global awareness that makes one an effective digital citizen.

18. Service
Be the change
you wish to see.
We can change the world and
make it a better place. It is in
your hands to make a
difference.
What are you
doing for others?
Anyone can be
great because
anyone can serve.
You can never win
anything unless
you are there
doing something

19. He tangata, he tangata, he tangata
Citizenship asks how do we act with others in ways that enhance the common good online and
offline? Ultimately citizenship is about people. It is about building relationships for the common good
and we do this by making connections online and offline and in the between.
Silencing the voices that need to be heard.
Easier - is not necessarily better - any time, any place, must not neglect the anyone.
