Defintion - “Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use” (Ribble,2013).
Digital Citizenship - California School Library Association

This is an online tutorial with six modules designed to teach the basics of digital citizenship. The modules cover a number of areas and are for teachers working with younger students in California. However there is a lot of really good information and each module contains resources for teachers to modify for their own teaching situation. A set of lessons as this is very valuable:
- to help with introducing the idea of digital citizenship to my adult student.
- to teach how learners can use the internet to become engaged civically.
- for creating awareness of the effects (positive and negative) of participation in the digital community.
Ethics
Definition - “Ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the behavior of a group or individual. Therefore, computer ethics is set of moral principles that regulate the use of computers” (TechTerms, 2013).

Digital Ethics
This is a great resource it contains a succinct list of sites for teachers to access to teach the concepts related to digital ethics. Any of these resources could be used to teach adults:
- how to use internet resources ethically.
- how to teach their children ethical use of the internet.
- to teach teaching ethical, courteous, and productive behavior while using the internet.
Netiquette
Definition - “Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet. Good netiquette involves respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people” (TechTerms, 2013).

Hello Janet,
These websites looked like they would be great for building a lesson plan for proper internet use. I think it is really important to look at how cultural differences affect how we view digital communication.
Hi Janet:
The information is splendid and I want to incorporate this as soon as possible. I will also share it with the librarian at my college and maybe she can, I will suggest gently, if this topic could be a part of the library tours she provides. It beeeenefits all of us.
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janet,
Great list of websites that could be easily integrated into virtually any learning environment. I have seen the web tutorial from the state of California before and find it to be well done and informative. Not only proper conduct but safety while in an online setting is important, regardless of age. So many people are quick to create and enforce protection for younger internet users, but older people, new to internet communications also require the same information.
