EDUC 5131

Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate and responsible behaviour online. Within this course we will examine digital citizenship from two major perspectives: responsible use in the K-12 environment and the world beyond schools. Within each perspective we will review policy and practice, rights and responsibilities, safety and security, as well as health and wellness. Some specific themes include cyberbullying, digital etiquette, access, copyright, borderless classrooms, the digital divide and civic engagement.
