What is Digital Citizenship?

What is a citizen? one definition is, "an inhabitant of a country, state, city or town, especially one entitled to its privileges, and owing allegiance to it."*
What is citizenship? one definition is, "the character of an individual viewed as a member of society; behavior in terms of the duties, obligations, and functions of a citizen"*

We might say that digital citizenship is knowing how to behave appropriately and responsibly with regard to technology use.
This is a big topic. We'll start by writing, reflecting, and searching for more information. Then we'll look at the three categories that get divided into 9 Elements of digital Citizenship.(See the 9 elements here)

Writing, reflecting, and searching for more information:

• Do your writing in your TYWLS Google account, title it "digital citizenship".
• first start with a free-write, get all your thoughts down in words
  
• next search the internet for more information
• when you find good information, copy the URL and add it to the bottom of your document as a reference
  
• finally add more information to your writing
