Top Ten Digital Citizenship Rules Students Should Know & Actually Follow

​​Think Before You Type
If you wouldn’t say it to someone's face with your mother watching, don’t post it.

​

Protect Your Passwords
“Password123” is basically an open invitation. Use strong, unique passwords and keep them to yourself.

​

Don’t Overshare
No one needs your address, schedule, or weirdly specific life updates. Protect your personal info.

​

Recognize Red Flags
Weird messages, sudden friend requests, suspicious links — don’t touch ’em.

​

Stop Falling for Fake Accounts
Catfishing is real. Check usernames, spelling, mutual friends, and whether the profile looks sketchy.

​

Cite Your Sources
Google didn’t write it. If you didn’t create it, credit whoever did.

​

Think Long-Term
The internet never forgets. Screenshots happen. Act like every post is permanent.

​

Be a Good Digital Neighbor
Don’t act like anonymity is a personality upgrade. Respect people, property, and boundaries online.

​

Keep Your Device Clean
Don’t download random files or click on pop-ups. Your Chromebook is not invincible.

​

Report — Don’t React
If you see bullying, threats, harassment, or anything off, report it to a trusted adult. You’re not Batman — don’t try to fix it alone.
