Last week was Digital Citizenship Week.

An important part of my English class is to make you aware of what you post on-line and what it means to be a good digital citizen.  Being a good digital citizen includes:
- being aware of your digital footprints;
- demonstrating safe and respectful online etiquette;
- not cyberbullying, sexting, or posting inappropriate photos and/or videos,
- making important decisions about what to post to social media sites; and,
- not downloading or uploading inappropriate content

For this blog, I would like you to CREATE an important Digital Citizenship message using MEMES!

A meme in a generic message about a behaviour that is passed around on-line.

Using memegenerator.net or makeameme.org you will have to create a MEME about being a GOOD Digital Citizen.  You could share or e-mail me (gkatz@lbpearson.ca) the meme and then post your explanation about the meme on the blog site. 

Have Fun!

Many adults would probably feel that the youth of today are not very well disciplined.  They would state that they talk back, are more aggressive and, in general, lack maturity.
