Digital Citizenship

Why is it important to be a good digital citizen? What value does a good digital reputation have?

It is important to be a good digital citizen to understand etiquette, access, and laws related to technology. Digital citizenship helps you to respect yourself and others. An understanding of digital citizenship helps to protect a good digital reputation.

Your digital reputation is your behaviors in the online environment. It is the content that you post about yourself and others. This includes tagged photos, blog posts, and interactions on social networks. All of these will shape how you are defined by others not only online, but offline. This judgement is not only today, but in the future. 
A poor digital reputation can affect your friendships, relationships and even your job prospects - so protect your digital reputation.
