What is cybercitizenship?

Everyone who interacts online is a citizen of cyberspace. As young people learn to navigate cyberspace in increasingly complex ways, it is imperative to teach them the tools of good cybercitizenship.
 
Cybercitizenship is more than just having the technical capacity to use technology. It also includes having the skills to critically evaluate material found online, protect personal or identifying information, practice courteous and responsible behaviour towards other cybercitizens, and manage potentially risky or dangerous situations. In this way, young people are better equipped to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks of technology use.
