Who is a digital citizen?

You! 
Basically, a digital citizen is anyone who uses digital tools such as computers, cell phones, or the internet in their work, school or for recreation.  Just like citizens of a city have to adopt rules and standards of behavior in order to live together, those of us in the digital world should do the same.  

There are general guidelines we can all follow in order to stay safe, and work well in the digital world.  These guidelines are outlined in the elements of digital citizenship.
