Digital Citizenbship begins the first time a student works with a computer. All students should be aware of the pros and cons of computer useage, because good and bad habits start at an early age. Teachers need to start talking about being a good digital citizen from the beginning school career, and each year the talking and citizenship dialog should continue and expand.
In the early years teachers really need to talk about manners. Students need to understand how to treat computers as well as how to use computers. Students need to know how to care for the computers and to respect all related equipment.
It is very important for teachers to discuss safety in using computers. Students must know about the dangers involved with communicating on the internet. They should also be informed about the proper way to write and send messages. E-mail is really a popular form of communication and a lack of proper etiquette in e-mailing is unforgivable. Teachers need to discuss this and make sure that students are not only aware of this but adhere to the proper way of writing. Today's youth use e mail for social, educational, and professional use, so developing good writing habits start at an early age.
