Digital Rights and Responsibilities
Being a digital citizen means that students need to understand their rights and responsiblities in the technology world. Students should understand the expectations and requirements of participating in the technological world. They must know the difference between right and wrong.
Digital rights and responsibilities are "the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them" (Ribble, M. & Bailey, G.D., 2007, p.35).
As a technology user, you must be aware of the digital rights and responsibilities that come along with the technology world. While at school, you must abide by the district's acceptable use policy. This policy is outlined on the pamphlet below and a signed copy from you and your parents is kept on file at school each year. The pamphlet explains what you can do and cannot do with school technology. For example, students are not permitted to download any software onto school computers or dismantle any pieces of technology. Additionally, students are able to utilize the school's technological resources as long as they are being respectful and responsible. One way to be a responsible digital citizen is to cite all resources that you use for any projects, assignments or papers. It is essential that you give people credit for their own work. Overall, it is your responsible to make wise choices when using school technology and technology at home.
