1. I want my students to understand about online safety, online etiquette and digital rights and responsibilities as regards copyright and fair use laws. Also, once you put something on the internet, it is there forever.
2. I would explain about digital citizenship by using a true story about when I was harassed online anonymously by some students who thought they were clever enough to hide who they were. They used school resources during school time to send threatening emails. As a result of their actions, not only was I hurt but they lost school computer privileges for the rest of the school year. They also suffered the humiliation of their peers knowing what they had done.
This, I know, is an extreme example but I think it really illustrates what can happen when students think they can get away with bullying, threats and improper use of school resources.
