Here are some ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Know the history\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital citizenship has undergone a significant evolution throughout its relatively short lifespan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Originally, issues of digital citizenship often revolved around privacy and security\u2014protecting account information from hackers, data from unscrupulous companies, etc. Passwords, firewalls, and antivirus software were emphasized as vital tools in the fight to maintain safety online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s still true, and those tools remain critical when using complex technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the meantime, notions of digital citizenship have expanded to encompass proactive actions that promote healthy, socially beneficial practices. This includes communicating constructively rather than sowing discord, promoting engagement with like-minded individuals, and collaborating with others via unified communications platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students use the Internet every day to tackle the social, economic, and cultural issues <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">du jour<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s vital that they have the knowledge and tools to do so in a way that\u2019s not only safe, but also uplifting and empowering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this important to note?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s vital to understand the issues of the past, especially when those issues persist today, to chart an effective plan for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Involve the community<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, it really does take a village to raise a child\u2014or in this case, to raise an adept and digitally literate student.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital citizenship is all about communication and interaction. The community is already there, so why not actively use the community to boost learning?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embedding digital citizenship into education brings with it the ability to involve exterior actors, including parents, to an extent previously impossible. Communications platforms encourage collaboration not only among students, but also among teachers, librarians, IT specialists, mental health professionals, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, it\u2019s also beneficial for educators themselves to receive instruction and training on how to meld their areas of competence with those of their peers to support students and form curricula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can extend far beyond the classroom, too. Just as federal aid has been allocated to strengthen Internet access and improve broadband connections,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecs.org\/media-literacy-and-digital-citizenship\/?utm_source=hootsuite&amp;utm_medium=twitter\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many U.S. states are also investing in digital infrastructure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But state leaders need guidance, suggestions, and feedback on how to help students. Where will they get it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great opportunity for students, educators, parents, and community leaders to create an ecosystem of stakeholders dedicated to supporting digital citizenship for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe\" id=\"new-rc-subscribe\"  style=\"background-image:url('\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/subscribe.png')\">\n\t\t<button class=\"close js-popup-close\"><svg class=\"icon_close_mobile\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon_close_mobile\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper_text\">\n<h3 class=\"rc-subscribe__title h2\">Stay informed with RingCentral<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__subtitle\">Subscribe to our emails for the latest blogs, events, and exclusive content on AI-powered communication solutions.

Think outside the box<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, supporting digital citizenship can involve rather unorthodox methods, but those methods can reap rewards inaccessible to those using only established, in-classroom techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, students who remain hard to reach using traditional tools of education can sometimes be actively engaged via digital methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esports and video games are a great example. Using communication tools for education expands the possibilities to include digital pastimes as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally, these pastimes have gone unacknowledged by educators, shunned in favor of athletics or more traditional hobbies (like art or music), but clubs dedicated to such activities are quickly growing around the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video games are particularly relevant to digital citizenship because in many ways they represent the Internet in microcosm, allowing players to speak and interact with one another. Many gaming spaces are also notorious for being toxic, and students who enjoy gaming outside the classroom may already have been exposed to cursing, racism, and demeaning insults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the positive side, knowledge of digital citizenship practices will help students build good habits they can use within and outside of the classroom, helping them interact with other gamers in a positive and encouraging manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, it\u2019s not about video games; it\u2019s about<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iste.org\/explore\/professional-development\/hottest-topics-edtech-2021\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learning and providing structure<\/span><\/a><span
