Digital Citizenship using Technology Appropriately is a great article. I agree with the full electronic participation in society and I understand that we need this is order to be productive in today's world. The digital commerce can be seen every time you connect to the internet. Any person involved in buying and selling of goods should be aware of the process. Anything you can possible want can be purchased on the internet. Many people do their shopping at home and never have to leave the house. Here again we see some of the negative aspects of technology, some people downloading inappropriate sites as well as different sites with pornography. This is something that has always frightened me. Someone like me with little computer knowledge could possible hit the wrong button and something pop up on the screen that is not only bad but possibly illegal. It is a great idea to teach individuals how to become effective consumers in today's society. Digital communication has become part of everyone's every day life. I can remember when cell phones first came out. We thought it was amazing that you could get on a phone that was not plugged into a wall and carry on a conversation. Today's cell phones are incredible. There are no limits as to what you can do with the phones today. It has not been that long ago that I began using text message. I have internet on my phone but do not really understand much about it. Technology is only going to grow. It is very important that we grow with it. It it a wonderful source of communication. Digital Literacy is the step that is most important to me. I know that there are many people like me who are not very effective with a computer. Many older people tell me that they have no interest in even learning about the technology. I was one of those at one time. When I decided to go back to school so that I could do the thing I always dreamed of, I realized there was no way of getting around it.I have always wanted to work with children. For me to help my students be successful, I have to first learn about the technology and its use. Digital Etiquette is again a step everyone should be taught. Digital law is merely common sense. There are individuals who think they are smart enough to get away with illegal things over the internet. This digital law protects individuals and their property. Health and wellness are very important to an individual. I do not think many people think about this aspect when working with technology. I know many people who spend hours and hours a day on the computer. They later complain of headaches or simply that they are having trouble with their eyes. Although computers are important, people need to use common sense when working with them. I was not aware that there were elements of Digital Citizenship. This article was very informative. I enjoyed reading it.
