What is Digital Citizenship?

Being a great global digital citizen isn’t just about using your head—it’s also about using your heart. Being responsible and ethical is essential to a healthy and peaceful life in the world we all share. A global digital citizen enjoys the benefits of being in our connected world, while practicing some significant responsibilities at the same time.
