It’s important to be a good digital
citizen for many reasons. Being a good
digital citizen encompasses many things.
It means that you give credit where credit is due by not plagiarizing. You should also cite where you find information that you use in research papers, presentations, or other documentations. It also means that you practice good
netiquette on social media sites. The
younger generation, in particular, does not seem to realize that there is
someone on the other side of the computer. It’s important to think about who could get hurt
by what’s being said. As a rule of thumb,
if you wouldn’t say it to the person’s face, don’t say it at all. It’s imperative that you have a good digital
reputation because it’s not just friends and family looking at what you post -
future employers will often look at your profile on Facebook and/or Google you
on the Internet. An embarrassing picture
or thoughtless comment could cost you for many years to come.
