Thing #11: Digital Citizenship

I would include the following points in a library orientation lesson:
1. Learn how to use the school's library website and links to properly document all resources when used to create papers, presentations, pictures etc. Do not plagiarize! I cannot tell you how many direct copy/paste projects I have received.
2. Avoid inappropriate websites and be cautious on the Internet to avoid predators. Never post personal information such as address, phone number, etc.
3. Be courteous to all, especially in emails and on social networking sites.
4. Do not use technology in an inappropriate manner, for example, cheating.
5. Use technology wisely. Time management is important. Avoid spending countless hours playing games and chatting with friends.
6. When searching for information, use reliable sources and evaluate all sources carefully.
