The internet and internet-enabled technologies are continuing to develop at a very fast pace. This has many benefits, but it also changes the way in which students learn, communicate and interact. Learners are keen and avid users of the internet and mobile technologies. They are seen as ‘digital natives’, always surrounded by technologies. There are many social, educational and economic benefits for learners in using ICTs but learners do need to understand what is acceptable and appropriate behaviour in an online society.

On completion of this unit of study you will be able to:

  • Model and instill in students appropriate behavior when communicating online, i.e. netiquette
  • Identify digital citizenship knowledge, skills and values
  • Design a lesson that incorporates digital citizenship competencies.
