The theme of week 4 is: Our critical eye and the Internet.  In this last week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month we’re going to tie together the previous weeks' activities with a look at Digital Literacy and Digital Citizenship.

Technology is all around us - it's an essential part of our daily lives.  Being good digital citizens and being digitally literate are now more important than ever.  So what is digital citizenship and digital literacy? 

• Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.  Read more at Digital Citizenship.net
• According to Media Smarts.ca, Digital Literacy is more than technological know-how; it includes a wide variety of ethical, social and reflective practices that are embedded in work, learning, leisure and daily life. 

We've posted a couple of items to kick off this topic:

• A "Digital Citizenship" infographic that summarises a few key points
• A graphic novel on social media use - perfect for 'tweens and teens.  Feel free to download and share this one! 

Check back through the week as we will be posting resources all week long.
