Why is it important to be smart digital citizens?

Digital citizenship encourages respectful and responsible behavior in online communities. This includes understanding the impact of one's words and actions on others, respecting diverse perspectives, and engaging in constructive and respectful discourse.

There are many reasons digital citizenship and teaching digital citizenship to students are important, not least of which is to promote safe online behavior. Here are some more reasons digital citizenship is important:

Grooming

One tool common to those who sexually abuse kids is grooming: manipulative behaviors that the abuser uses to gain access to a potential victim, coerce them to agree to the abuse, and reduce the risk of being caught. While these tactics are used most often against younger kids, teens and vulnerable adults are also at risk.

Grooming can take place online or in-person. It’s usually employed by a family member or someone else in the victim’s circle of trust, such as a coach, teacher, youth group leader or others who naturally have some interaction with the victim.

FIREWALL

A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined rules. It helps block unauthorized access to or from a private network.

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA)

Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring two forms of identification before granting access—typically a password and a temporary code sent to a phone or email.
