Nowadays, internet has become a part of our daily lives. We use internet for many things: research, learning, connecting with family and friends, shopping, etc...
We have responsibility to educate young internet users on how to create a safe online spaces. some tips to teach how to be a good "digital citizen" are:
- Encourage critical thinking skills: teach students to think about what they do and how they interact with others online.
- Always be nice and encourage others to be nice too: students need to practice treating each other with the same respect online as they do in person. we should remind them to think twice before posting or saying anything online.
- Monitoring the net effect of your activity online.
- Protecting someone from cyberbullying or protecting accounts info with secure passwords.
- Citing the source of the original source of the information.
- Supporting others by offering useful feedback, encouraging them, or sharing work they're proud of, etc...
a very important idea is to encourage critical thinking that is one of the most effective techniques to develop students learning.
