Digital Citizenship & You
This activity is designed for participants to discuss the concept of digital citizenship and how the internet can be used to create meaningful and positive contributions.
Netiquette (Gr. 8-12)
Topics: Online Etiquette, Cyberbullying, Digital Citizenship, Safe and Positive Online Spaces, Social Media
In this activity, participants will learn about good digital etiquette, or “netiquette”. Understanding these social norms will inform their online behaviour and how they interpret the behaviour of others. Participants will then be equipped with strategies they can use to create positive and inclusive virtual spaces by examining bad netiquette and responding with good netiquette, and will leave as more knowledgeable and confident digital citizens.
