ICT as Platform for Change (Part 2)

The online environment should be a safe space in which everyone feels protected, as
technology influences the way people interact. There are nine elements of digital
citizenship, related to technology usage inside and outside the school environment:

1. Digital Access - is the equitable distribution of technology and not only


understanding who has access to technology, but the limitations and
consequences to those who have limited access to technology.
2. Digital Commerce - is the buying and selling of goods. This principle focuses
on making safe and informed decisions when purchasing or downloading
materials online.
3. Digital Communication - is understanding the different modes and mediums
of digital technology and when to appropriately use them. For example,
understanding when sending an email is appropriate versus sending a text
message.
4. Digital Etiquette – is understanding appropriate code of conduct and
procedures when using mobile devices. It extends beyond recognizing bad
behavior in that it actively encourages appropriate and responsible behavior
online.
5. Digital Literacy - is the process of understanding technology, how to use it in
its many forms, and how to adapt when new technologies are introduced. It
also extends to internet usage and how to effectively search and evaluate
information online.
6. Digital Health - is maintaining sound technological practices to promote
physical and psychological wellness. Practicing eye safety and ergonomics,
and balancing screen time and technology usage are all related to this
important principle.
7. Digital Law - is understanding and complying with online rules and policies,
and how to use technology ethically. Digital law is broad and covers topics
from spam to cyberbullying.
8. Digital Rights and Responsibilities - are the freedoms that extend to
everyone online. Examples of this include right to privacy and free speech.
9. Digital Security and Privacy - are electronic precautions to bolster online
safety. Secure passwords, not sharing passwords, backing up data, and
antivirus protection are all examples of this principle.
