9 Elements of Digital Citizenship
This is perhaps one of the most fundamental blocks to being a digital citizen.
However, due to socio economic status, location, and other disabilities some
individuals may not have digital access. Digital access is available in many
remote coutries via cyber cafes and small coffee shops.

This is the ability for users to recognize that much of the economy is regulated
online. It also deals with the understanding of the dangers and benefits of
online buying, using credit cards online, and so forth.

This element deals with understanding the variety of online communication


mediums such as email, instant messaging, FB messager, the variety of apps,
and so forth. There is a standard of etiquette associated with each medium.
This deals with the understanding of how to use various digital devices. It is
ability and knowledge needed to learn and teach using technology tools.

This is the expectation that various mediums require a variety of etiquette.


Certain mediums demand more appropriate behavior and language than
others.

This is where enforcement occurs for illegal downloads, plagiarizing, hacking,


creating viruses, sending spams, identity theft, cyberbullying, and so forth.
This is the set of rights that digital citizen have such as privacy, speech, and
so forth.

Digital citizens must be aware of the physical stress placed on their bodies by
internet usage. They must be aware to not become overly dependent on the
internet causing eye strain, headaches, stress problems, and so on.

This simply means that citizens must take measures to be safe by practicing
using difficult passwords, virus protection, backing up data, and so forth.
