Digital+Citizenship

Digital Citizenship Webquest

 * Introduction:** We are all connected to our local and global communities politically and economically, whether you realize it or not. You are a citizen of the world, of the United States, of the State of Georgia, and of your town or city. Your role as a digital citizen is probably much more real to you because of your interaction with technology on a daily basis. It is important, as a digital citizen that you are making good, responsible choices, because believe it or not everything you do effects those around you.


 * Task:** Use the Glogster to answer the following questions. Each question coincides with one of the 9 elements of Digital Citizenship. After answering the questions create a poster for one of the elements of Digital Citizenship. Your teacher will divide the class into groups.
