Definitions of Digital Citizenship

===**"Digital citizenship [is] about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and ... using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way..." [|digizen.org].** ===

**Be watchful, be wary, be wise: keep safe.** What do you share online? Do you know who's watching you? Do you care? What are you proud of? What are you ashamed of?

Remembering these key tips will help you keep control online, both now and into the future. ([])
 * Keep your personal details private. Don’t post information about yourself that strangers might read, and don’t share your password with anyone at all.
 * Think twice about what you say and post. Don’t post anything you don’t want others to see or know about.
 * Remember – it’s forever. Posts on the internet can remain there for a long time and might be read by future employers, partners and even your own children!
 * Respect your friends. Be a good friend, and treat them as you would like to be treated.
