Digital Citizenship is the start of everything that a 21st century teacher has to do. Teaching and modeling this concept year round to every class regardless of exposure is imperative. I believe that the beginning of the year is the time that should be set aside to introduce Digital Citizenship and then reinforce throughout the year. maybe setup a social contract with students.
Brainpop has a great video to show students. It explains what digital citizenship is, why it's important, and etiquette behaviors to follow. Digital citizenship goes beyond just following the golden rule. Teachers must also model how to find trusted sites when researching. Teachers will need to show students how to analyze several sites for key information and not just trusting one source. Plagiarizer is another area to address as well as siting sources appropriately. Just because it's on the internet does not mean it's yours to copy and use as your own. Atomic Learning can also be used as a source to aid in all aspects of digital citizenship
