A Career Skills Activity for Middle School Students

Digital citizenship refers to the responsible use of technology by anyone who uses computers, the Internet, and digital devices to connect with society on any level.

Good digital citizenship engages people to positively connect with one another, empathize with each other, and create lasting relationships through digital tools. A responsible digital citizen should be respectful and behave appropriately while handling the information in an online world.

Bad digital citizenship, on the other hand, includes cyberbullying, irresponsible social media usage, and a general lack of knowledge about how to safely use the Internet.
