Digital Citizenship Inside High Schools

Teaching digital citizenship inside high schools is very important. High school students at the point in their lives where what they do on the internet really starts to matter. Future job employers are going to look at their Facebook pages and possibly base their decision on what they see on the page. Students in high school are also beginning to enter serious relationships and make lifelong friends and they need to be aware of the benefits and dangers of developing relationships online. High school students also need to realize that taking information from an online source and not citing it is considered stealing. Finally, high schools often have bullies and students need to realize that online bullying is just as serious as bullying in the classroom. There are plenty of resources available to teachers to help students learn about digital citizenship. My following Prezi discusses all of these topics in detail and provides links to resources.
