Digital Community, Digital Citizen

An all-inclusive roadmap to citizenship in the 21st Century

Best-selling author, educator, and futurist Jason Ohler challenges all readers to redefine our roles as citizens in today's globally connected infosphere. His text aligns the process of teaching digital citizenship with the ISTE standards definition, and uses an "ideal school board" device to address fears, opportunities, and the critical issues of character education. These issues include:

• Cyberbullying, "sexting," and other safety concerns

• Students' ability to creatively access and critically assess information
• Respect and ethics regarding copyrighted information
• Communicating appropriately in an expanded and public realm
