Responsibility - When working/learning as a digital citizen, it is imperative that responsibility be the first priority. With all of the advances in our technology, we have to always keep in mind who could be reading something we are posting and where it could end up. I feel like responsibility has many branches. And of those many branches, I think that respect and security are two of the most important branches.
Respect/Etiquette - As I was reading through some of the resources, I noticed a common element. Many people discussed how people may "act" differently online than they do in person. Many people post mean, rude or hurtful comments towards other people, and even use offensive language when they are online. But those same people may be quiet as a mouse in person. But I feel like you should respect people that you interact with in any way, weather it is in person, online, or over the phone! Respect is an extremely important part of being a digital citizen.
Security - We have the capability to do almost everything online these days. With all of these options we have to be extra careful about what we put out there. This could mean anything from your address and phone number to you social security number. Obviously, no one wants to be a victim of identity theft. But I feel like security also includes ensuring that the software and programs that you download and use are safe and secure. There are so many spam popups and virus emails that sometimes it is hard to know what is safe and trustworthy.
