What is Digital Citizenship?
"Digital Citizenship can be described as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use. As a way of understanding the complexity of digital citizenship and the issues of technology use, abuse, and misuse, we have identified nine elements that together make up digital citizenship" (Ribble & Bailey, 2007, p. 10).

Digital Citizenship at Voorhees Middle School
In an educational setting with 1:1 iPads, Digital Citizenship plays a crucial role in our VMS community. I strongly believe our district and staff work diligently to educate and maintain each digital element to help our society of student-users use technology appropriately and efficiently (Ribble, 2015). Like Ribble states, it goes beyond simply expressing rules and policies; we are trying to make our students productive, wise, and respectful citizens of the world (2015). We try to cultivate a positive learning experience with our technological means. Our school motto emphasizes such as we strive to-
“Inspire, Engage, and Innovate.”
