CyberCrime.gov explains what it means to be a cybercitizen, and appropriate uses for the internet. It helps to foster a sense of personal responsibility in students. It provides lists of do’s and don’ts for student internet use, and a series of hypothetical situations for students to discuss and debate. This would be a great resource for the classroom because cyber citizenship isn’t something that students are familiar with, or tend to think about. I would view the cite with my class then discuss what it means to be a good cybercitizen, and then have a open debate the hypothetical situations posed on the website. As an assessment tool I would have students break into small groups and produce a video or power point presentation to illustrate their own example of cyber citizenship.
