                      Digital Citizenship

                      ──── ✧《✩》✧ ────


    In today’s tech-driven world, being a digital citizen means more than just using the internet. It means using technology responsibly, ethically, and effectively in ways that respect others and promote a positive online environment. A digital citizen knows their rights and responsibilities in the digital space, just like in the real world.

1. Responsible and Ethical Behavior

    A digital citizen understands the impact of their actions online. They avoid spreading fake news, cyberbullying, or violating someone’s privacy. They follow ethical standards and treat others with respect and empathy, even in digital spaces.

2. Awareness of Privacy and Security

    Protecting personal information is a must. A good digital citizen knows how to manage privacy settings, use strong passwords, and stay alert against scams or malware. They’re careful about what they share and where they share it.

3. Active and Positive Participation

    Digital citizens don’t just consume content, they also contribute in meaningful ways. They engage in online communities, share helpful content, and participate in social causes while respecting others' views. They use their voice to create a better and safer digital world.

    In short, being a digital citizen is about using the internet not just smartly—but wisely and respectfully, too!
