Digital citizenship needs to be a priority in school districts promoting technology. Students working in the 21st Century need to feel safe in the virtual environment, being responsible for their decisions and actions and embrace the always changing technology world.

The same way teacher go over safety rules in procedures in the science lab, they need to talk to students about appropriate and inappropriate use of technology:

Etiquette: Appropriate ways to communicate in all different devices

Responsibility: Actions have consequences

Safety: Stop/avoid cyber bulling and electronic precautions.
