We as teachers need to understand, teach our students about and participate in Digital Citizenship. So what is Digital Citizenship? I am going to cover the nine elements of Digital Citizenship over several posts, check out the posts on Digital Access, Commerce, Communication, Literacy, Etiquette, Law, and Rights & Responsibilities.

Digital Health and Wellness are “physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world”(Ribble, 2011).

We need to be aware of them and teach our students how to protect themselves.
