Digital citizenship principles
Three core principles that responsible digital citizens should practise are:
Principle 1 - Engage positively
When you engage positively you are exercising your rights and responsibilities as a digital citizen, and respecting the rights of others.
Being aware of your own behaviour, respecting others and knowing how to take action to protect yourself means that you bring respect, integrity and ethical behaviour to your online interactions and discourage anti-social behaviours like trolling, bullying and harassment.
When you are online:
- respect the rights of others to participate and have an opinion
- ask before tagging other people or posting photos
- report offensive or illegal content
- stand up and speak out about cyberbullying — protect your friends.
- don't respond to hurtful or nasty comments — block and report cyberbullying
- speak to your parents or trusted adult about upsetting online experiences
- report threats of violence to the police (collect the evidence to show them).
When do you use computer devices or the internet for positive outcomes?
Principle 2 - Know your online world
Knowing your online world is about understanding how you can use technology and devices. It is about learning new skills and knowing how to protect your digital footprint.
When you know your online world you have the skills and knowledge to participate in the online world with confidence. You learn new things, understand the language of digital technologies and know how to take action if your privacy is breached.
When you are online:
- learn how new skills will help you explore the online world
- recognise online risks and how to manage them
- look out for suspicious emails and scams
- use secure websites for financial and retail services
- keep passwords secret, strong and unique
- know how to report bullying behaviour on social media sites.
How much do you know about the websites and software that you use online?
| I make sure that I know everything about every website I go to and software I use | | 35 |
|---|
| I know some details but not all of them | | 78 |
|---|
| I know little about most of the websites I visit | | 17 |

Principle 3 - Choose consciously
By engaging positively you can help create a more positive online world. Knowing your online world will help you be cybersmart. Choosing consciously will help you embrace the online world.
When you choose consciously you make well informed decisions about who you share information with and how you engage with others. You are in charge of how you interact online and you can use your digital literacy and know-how to protect yourself and your friends.
Choosing consciously means being aware that you are in control of the decisions you make online. It means thinking before sharing your personal information and understanding that your choices can last forever.
When you are online make a decision to:
- choose privacy and security settings carefully and check them regularly
- choose friends wisely online — not everybody online is who they claim to be, regularly review your connections and remove people
- if you have made a mistake apologise and take down offensive material as soon as possible
- ask for permission before uploading pictures of your friends.
