Abstract

Digital citizenship is more important than ever due to the rapidly shifting landscape of internet use, especially in regard students, parents and educators. The guidance students receive throughout their K-12 education shapes the way they interact with global communities as a digital citizen. To effectively guide students in digital citizenship education, parents and educators need to be digital citizens themselves. What is digital citizenship in today’s society? Why do we need a village mindset to accomplish it effectively? And how can we learn through authentic experiences and opportunities? This is a secondary research study that combines academic literature, research reports, and online curriculum and teaching resources as a framework to answer these questions and support educators in their work with digital citizenship.
