Be a Good Digital Citizen
Watch this Video: What is Digital Citizenship?
Digital Citizenship is all about
THINKing before you act online.
Interland is an adventure-packed online game that makes learning about digital safety and citizenship interactive and fun—just like the Internet itself. Here, kids will help their fellow Internauts combat badly behaved hackers, phishers, oversharers, and bullies by practicing the skills they need to be good digital citizens.
An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) states the rules for students using technology at school.
"It is a privilege, not a right, to use the CPSnet and the information resources found on the network and on the internet."
The Cranston Public School's AUP reminds students of Acceptable Use of Technology:
1. Personal Safety: Keep personal information private
2. Illegal Activities: Obey school rules and the law when online
3. Security: Keep passwords private and report computer viruses
4. Communication: Be polite, kind, and respectful to others online
5. Respect Privacy: Only access your own account and files
6. Respect Resource Limits: Use school computers for educational purposes only
7. Plagiarism and Copyright: Put it in your own words, cite your sources
8. Access to Material: Only use appropriate information and only for valid reasons
Use this interactive PowerPoint to agree to the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy.
