Digital Citizenship

I was first introduced to the concept of "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants" (Marc Prensky, 2001) in EDU642, and I found the article of great interest to me as an educator.

I deal with "immigrants" from all over the world in my capacity of instructor of  English as an additional language (EAL). After reading Prensky's article, I felt I was the one who was the immigrant -- albeit in a digital world.

Yesterday, as I attended a series of workshops in a webinar marathon in the EdmodoCon 2012, I was introduced to a new term: "Digital Citizenship." I now feel that all of us, educators and parents alike, ought to read, understand and apply this information daily both personally and professionally.

Here is the link with information on "Digital Citizenship":
