Digital citizenship helps establish safe, responsible, and respectful behavior when using online tools. In a digital classroom, students need guidance on communication, privacy, security, and appropriate participation. Google’s Be Internet Awesome resources connect online safety with responsible digital behavior. This supports a classroom culture where technology is used confidently and respectfully.
