Digital Citizenship Education - Anne Collier

Digital citizenship (or really just citizenship) - learning how to function effectively (civilly, ethically, and collaboratively) as an individual and in community (online and offline) - is key to a child's safety and well-being at school, online, or anywhere. I'm talking about psychological, social, and reputational safety as much as the physical kind. [...] The other essential half of online safety, I think, is *new* media literacy - media literacy that includes critical thinking about what one says, produces and uploads as much as what one reads, consumes, and downloads in all environments, online and offline, fixed and mobile.
