• A digital citizen is an individual who adheres to the guidelines related to the ethical and
responsible use of technology. That person also knows how to act responsibly in all
relationships and interactions in the digital world (Debroy, 2019).
Global Digital Citizenship
• When both the attributes of a global citizen and a digital citizen are mixed, the
identity of a global digital citizen is justified in totality. Hence, a global digital
citizen global digital citizen is an empowered individual who is dutifully aware
of his/her responsibility both for the power of the Internet and for the lasting
well-being of our global community (Watanabe-Crocket, 2017).

 The Five Tenets of Digital Citizenship
1. Personal Responsibility
• This has something to do with how one behaves in matters as ethical and moral
considerations, finance, interpersonal relationships and personal health and fitness – both
in virtual and physical communities.
2. Global Citizenship
• This is about recognizing and respecting diversity in terms of appreciation of many
concerns, cultures, religions, traditions, and values of their fellow global citizens.
3. Altruistic Service
• This means a concern for the well-being of the people with whom we share our world,
and a desire to serve others by acting out of compassion and recognizing that
interconnectedness to others is vital.
4. Environmental Stewardship
• This is all about the demonstration of commonsense values and of an appreciation for the
beauty and majesty that surrounds us every day, that after all, we only have one world to
live in, and it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations as global citizens.
5. Digital Citizenship
• It centers on safe and respectful behavior in any online environment by fixing a correct
program of digital ethics and best practices for all.

As his/her hallmark, global digital citizens must: (Watanabe-Crocket, 2017).

✓ Always be virtuous and act with integrity in all digital and non-digital
communications and interactions.
✓ Always communicate using the appropriate language.
✓ Choose and uphold their social responsibilities.
✓ Being responsible for any online activity and accountable for his/her digital
footprint. Being dutiful to judge what is appropriate and ethical behavior
within the laws of the land.

The Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) outlines nine elements of digital
citizenship to help students navigate online resources:
1. Digital Etiquette
• This is concerning considering every digital user with respect and avoiding inappropriate
conduct and demonstrating the essential virtual manner, which is being aware of the
outcome of cyberbullying.

5
2. Digital Commerce
• This refers to selling and buying in the digital market dutifully. This is also to facilitate
how students learn to be better consumers or consider career paths related to digital sales.
3. Digital Health and Wellness
• These are proper practices in the use of the Internet – sitting correctly and avoiding too
much screen time to make students protect their psychological and physical well-being.
4. Digital Access
• With the use of technology, you can facilitate helping other students from disadvantaged
communities and teach them how to find valuable and safe information on the Internet.
5. Digital Rights and Responsibilities
• It is just like freedom of speech that all students have as a privilege while using the
internet and making sure that these rights remain available for everyone by treating other
users fairly and respecting their privacy.
6. Digital Literacy
• This refers to teaching Internet skills in class to help bridge gaps in digital literacy, and
by doing so, students will display the ability to learn how to use technology and access
information online.
7. Digital Law
• This encompasses guidelines, policies, and rules set by an organization for using the
Internet, such as preventing plagiarism and putting phones away in class.
8. Digital Communication
• This has something to do with the importance of teaching students to communicate safely
and effectively online - text, email, social media, and online games.
9. Digital Security
• This is to ensure Internet safety lessons for children, which could include anything from
why privacy online is important to what to do if they encounter a cyberbully and the need
to know how to avoid viruses, scams, or strangers online.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Intellectual Property Rights - it refers to the exclusive rights of the creator over the use of their creation for
specific period.

World Trade Organization (WTO) - divided the intellectual property rights into two main areas:

1. Copyrights and rights related to copyright - for a minimum period of 50 years after the death of the
author, the rights literary and artistic works are protected by copyright.
2. Industrial property - protection of unique signs(1. Trademarks, 2. Geographical Indications)
- protected patents for fall inventions, industrial designs, trade secrets.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Copyright Infringement - it is a piracy or theft of someone's original work or creation.

The use of internet materials without proper citation is not exempted from copyright Infringement. It is a
fact that the internet has become the foremost medium to gather information for any purpose and plagiarism
has become common, with its increasing popularity.

PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism - it means using someone else's work without giving them proper credit.
In academic writing, plagiarizing involves using words, ideas, or information from a source without
citing it correctly.

BILBAO(2019) cited the following as PLAGIARISM

• Making someone else's work as your own
• Using ideas from someone else without giving credit

7
 • Failure to put a quotation in quotation marks
• Citing incorrect information about the source of a quotation
• Altering words but retaining the sentence structure of a source without giving credits
• Using so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether
you give credit or not ("fair use" rules).
For images, videos, and music, the following fall under plagiarism:

1. Using media (especially images) from other websites to paste them into your papers or websites.

2. Creating a video using footage from other's videos or using copyrighted music as part of the
soundtrack.

3. Playing another person's copyrighted music into a performance (i.e., playing a cover)

4. Creating a piece of music that borrows heavily from another composition.

NETIZENSHIP
Netizenship is the term netizen is a portmanteau of the words internet and citizen, as in
a “citizen of the net” or “net citizen". It describes person actively involved in online communities
or the internet in general

NETIQUETTE
Netiquette is a shorter term for “internet etiquette”. Netiquette thus describes the rules of
conduct for respectful and appropriate communication on the internet. These are not legally
binding rules, but recommended rules of etiquette. Below are the ten (10) rules of netiquette by
Arlene Rinaldi.

Presenter’s Viewpoint
In examining the concepts of Netizenship and Netiquette, we look into the dynamics of online
citizenship and the etiquettes governing internet interactions. Netizenship, born from the
combination of "internet" and "citizen," defines individuals actively engaged in online
communities or the broader internet. On the other hand, Netiquette is a condensed form of
"internet etiquette," outlines recommended rules of conduct for respectful and appropriate
online communication. These frameworks, complemented by the Ten Commandments of
Computer Ethics by Arlene Rinaldi, emphasize the importance of ethical, respectful, and
mindful engagement in the digital realm.

Let us Ponder
How can educators effectively instill Netizenship and Netiquette within the teaching-learning
process, and what benefits does this integration offer to both students and society at large?

Molina, Edlyn E.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
Cite different educational sites and portals that are useful in various
content areas; and
Connect with different online learning communities and resources.

Time frame : 2 days

Introduction
In this age of lightning-fast information transfer, teachers and students alike become
increasingly reliant to online learning sites, communities, and resources. Teaching and learning
are now taking place on digital platforms and e-learning ecologies, thereby bridging the gaps
that physically divide various educational institutions.

While there are many educational sites and portals available on the web, access to these
resources are, however, limited. Both teachers and students are constrained by their knowledge,
skills, and even financial capacity. Furthermore, finding the right site or portal that fits one’s
instructional needs is another challenging task. With these challenges at hand, it is essential for
teachers to be influenced by both research and practice in the utilization, development, and
evaluation of online learning platforms.

What are Educational Sites and Portals?

Educational sites and portals are websites that help different educational sectors
by providing access to relevant information and resources to each community served.
To improve their teaching, teachers can find useful instructional tools, and by using these
portals they enhance student-centered learning. Students will have access to other
resources and facilities, including learning materials, lesson plans, current event
news,instant messaging and e-mail, and the opportunity to perform guided searches.

Communities for Education

What is an Online Learning Community?

Many educators are turning to Facebook or Twitter for the latest strategies,
materials, ideas, and news in teaching. But did you know that just for educators, there

16
are hundreds of online communities? You will network with fellow teachers through
these social networks, extend your personal learning network (PLN), discover and share
tools, and build peer-to-peer relationships. We've assembled a list of our favorite online
teacher groups.

Online learning communities are essential to achieving a productive environment

for online learning. That is why they're so popular, especially in not only in higher
education but also in other grades primary and secondary. Community participants in
online learning create an interactive canvas of diverse reactions and feedback.

You find ways to explore, learn, evolve, build skills, and look for intellectual
understanding-something you wouldn't do themselves. Such learning interactions instill
a sense of belonging and camaraderie that inspires and motivates online learners to
persevere. Nonetheless, most teachers are unable to include learners in the discussion
board because the learners are pursuing the courses in their time room.

There are also ways you can use to slowly create involvement and, eventually, a
real sense of community. What you need is to make improvements in the design of your
course like group learning activities. Some examples of Online Communities:

Would you love to find out how much the module has taught you? Start this mission, and
complete it.

Create an account and register on the following educational sites and portals:
AWS educate
Coursera

Khan Academy
TED-Ed
Guidelines to consider:
1. Use one email address, preferably an institutional email address, in creating your accounts.
2. In each site or portal, you may opt to enroll or follow a course that matches your field of
interest or specialization.
3. Communicate with colleagues by sending them an email and co-sharing of educational
resources. You may ask for a copy of their learning modules, activity
sheets, lesson presentations, etc. Document this process.

Closure
Educational sites and portals are designed to aid and not replace teachers in the
teaching-learning process. It is through this premise that one must master the nitty-gritty and
technical know-how of accessing various educational sites and portals as well as in connecting
with online learning communities and resources.

As future teachers, you are now given the power of technology to optimize the
teaching-learning process. Make sure that you use this power to the fullest!

Congratulations, you may now proceed to the next part of the lesson.

Abstraction
What is Collaborative Projects? Collaborative Projects is the practice of segmenting
students into groups and having them work in specific roles according to their strengths.
The goal of collaborative class projects is to help students learn how to function in
these modem work environments. In many of these courses, students perform research or solve
problems as a team, allowing them to learn the skills necessary to work together in an efficient

23
and productive manner. Through these assignments, students learn project management skills,
how to share tasks, engage with each other, and benefit from listening to others viewpoints and
backgrounds

Collaborative projects pose challenges. Working together on a project, students will

get to know their peers, develop leadership and communication strategies, and learn how to
work on a team. They may experience issues that come from lack of organization and
leadership, and must learn to overcome these challenges as they complete the project. The
hands-on, real-life aspect of the work involved makes collaborative projects invaluable
experiences. Furthermore, by sharing the workload, students often can achieve far more
meaningful research results and gain more insights into the material than they could have
done alone

Some Technology Tools used in Teaching and Learning

• WIKISPACES – are free public Wikis that anyone can edit. They serves as great
classssroom learning resources.
• ZOOM – is a cloud – based video conferencing service you can use to virtually meet
with others – either by video or audio – only or both, all while conducting live chats –
and it lets you record those sessions to view later.
• PREZI – is one of the coolest tools available for giving presentations and a free version
is available for people who do not mind all of their presentations being made public.
• GOOGLE DOCS – is an online Word processing software that allows you to save all
documents and files on Google Drive for free.
• EDMODO – is the leading social media and learning site for teachers and students
alike, also known as “Facebook for education”.
• CANVAS – allow students to access class materials from anywhere they have an
Internet connection and give teachers creative freedom to develop lesson plans.
• SCHOOLOGY – is a cloud-based learning management system that provides
educators and academic institutions with one platform to develop engaging content,
lesson plans, and assess student comprehension.

24
IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

1. Provides teachers with more tools to support students.

In addition to resources like textbooks and worksheets, technology equips educators

with various tools to help students develop a better understanding of the material.

Because students learn in unique ways, incorporating more learning methods

increases the likelihood that all of your students will grasp the concepts you teach

2. Students become active participants in the learning process.

The traditional teaching method is for an educator to stand at the front of the
classroom and deliver information about a subject. In this classic lecture style, students are
passive participants. In other words, they only receive information.

Technology in the classroom helps students engage with the material they’re learning.
From online educational games to immersive virtual reality, Educational Technology enables
students to become active learners.

3. Can advance their careers

In addition to the standard knowledge and skills required, more institutions seek
educators who have experience using technology in the classroom.

Analysis:

In what ways do you believe collaborative projects benefit students, and which tools or
platforms do you find most effective in facilitating successful teamwork?
