Responsible Internet Citizenship:
Integrity, Ethics and Resilience
What does it mean to have integrity online? We will talk about how important it is to be honest and truthful when communicating with others online. This discussion will focus on how to make ethical decisions when posting, sharing, and commenting on content online. We will also discuss the importance of respecting others’ privacy and personal information online. We will talk about demonstrating resilience in terms of how to deal with cyberbullying and online harassment, and how to develop healthy online habits. By the end of the workshop, students will have a better understanding of how to be responsible internet citizens, and teachers will have resources and tools to continue the conversation in their classrooms.
