Digital citizenship examples
Posting on social media
Good
Reading a post once more before you share it, and asking whether you would be fine with a teacher or boss seeing it.
Not so good
Firing off an angry reply in the moment, then watching it get screenshotted and passed around.
Using someone else's work
Good
Crediting the artist, linking the source, or using music you are allowed to use.
Not so good
Copying a photo or a song into your own project and passing it off as yours.
Protecting your accounts
Good
Turning on two-factor login and using a different strong password for your email.
Not so good
Using the same simple password everywhere and ignoring the warning that it leaked.
Checking what is true
Good
Looking for a second source before you share a shocking headline.
Not so good
Resharing a claim because it is funny or it fits what you already believe.
Treating people online
Good
Reporting a cruel comment and checking in on the person it targeted.
Not so good
Piling on because everyone else is, or staying silent while it happens.
Looking after yourself
Good
Setting your phone down an hour before bed so it does not eat into sleep.
Not so good
Scrolling until 1 a.m. and comparing your day to everyone's highlight reel.
