As part of the course requirement for MEDT 7475 The Distance Educator, I
have enrolled in GVS TOOL MOOC. As a participant in the program, I
will be using this blog to reflect on what I learn. The first quest
deals with digital citizenship and what qualities one must possess to be
a good digital citizen.

Some qualities I feel that a digital citizen must possess are:
Navigation Skills- in order to be effective one must have the ability to navigate through digital media
Respect for others- respect for others, just like in a community, is essential in the digital world as well.
Ability
to determine credibility of sites- the ability to determine which sites
are creditable and which sites are not is very important. Finding
information that is not reliable is not very helpful.
Privacy
education (knowing what is safe to make public and what is not)-in the
digital world it is so important to guard ourselves somewhat to protect
us and our families. Google yourself and see what you find!
While
there are many traits that could be listed, I feel that respecting
others is crucial. As well as our young ones knowing about what they
should not post on public sites.
