Digital Citizenship

My Journey as a Digital Citizen

The internet is amazing! It lets me connect with friends all over the world, learn new things, and play fun games. But just like riding a bike, there are some rules to follow online. This week, I learned about being a good digital citizen, which means using the internet in a smart and kind way.


Being a good digital citizen is like being a good friend online. It means:

  • Making sure everyone gets to play: Not everyone has a computer or internet access, and I want to help make sure everyone gets a chance to join the fun online!
  • Spotting tricks: Sometimes the internet can be tricky, like those games that try to steal your points. I got to learn how to spot these tricks so I don't get fooled.
  • Talking Nicely: When I chat with friends online, I got to be polite and respectful, just like when I'm talking to them in person.
  • Using the tool right: There are so many cool things you can do online, but you got to know how to use them properly. It's like learning how to use a new toy!
  • Playing by the rule: Just like games have rules, the internet does too! Knowing these rules helps keep me safe from trouble.
  • Sharing carefully: Sometimes we share things online, but it's important to be careful what we show and tell.
  • Taking breaks: Sometimes you got to take a break from playing outside, and the same goes for the internet! It's good to take breaks to rest and recharge.
  • Keeping things safe: Just like protecting my bike with a lock, I got to keep my online stuff safe with strong passwords.


By following these tips, I can be a good digital citizen and help make the internet a fun and safe place for everyone. In school, I'm gonna help my friends learn this too , we can make the internet a super cool place to be.

As a teacher, I also want to be a role model for my students and show them how to be good digital citizens. I can do this by:

  • Being a good example online myself by treating others with respect and thinking carefully before I share anything.
  • Teaching my students about digital citizenship directly in class, using real-life situations they can understand.
  • Working with parents and the community to make sure everyone has access to the internet and the skills they need to use it safely.
  • Helping my students learn how to think critically about the information they find online, so they can tell the difference between fact and opinion.

There's a lot to learn about being a good digital citizen, but I'm excited to keep learning and help make the internet a better place for everyone.
