Well, my initial first impression of Digital Citizenship is that it is a form of online etiquette. I hope that is correct. I would want to teach my students the following:
1) Danger associated with online social networking sites - their identity can be traced - school computers are the property of the school and anything inappropriate they may be looking at can come back to them.
2) Online bullying or written threats of any kind can get a student into a lot of trouble, possibly even legal trouble.
3) Plagiarism is illegal and will earn them a zero on an assignment - anything that is copy and pasted must be documented.
4) Learn to distinguish reliable sources versus unreliable sources - don't always use the first site you find. Check the credibility of the site.
5) The internet is a vast resource - use it wisely.
