Introduction

Technology has become an integral part of lives. It has created a great impact
that whether we like it or not, we have become prone to safety issues. Our privacy can
be intruded; our social relationships can be affected. But it is not just enough that we
keep ourselves safe, we should also possess the skills on how we can act responsibly
so as not to pose harm to others. Thus this module will walk you through this module.

Lesson 1: Digital Citizenship vs. Global Citizenship

Since we are considers citizens of the community we live in, the as users of the
internet we can also call ourselves as citizen of the digital world were we lived, learn and
work in an interconnected manner. Digital citizenship is an idea that all persons using the
internet have a civic right and responsibilities. It centers around safe, savvy and ethical
use of technology.

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 Page 3 of 17

 Summing up, global citizen sees the world as a community in which all the people
live and prosper together. He/she understand that his or her actions contribute to the
values of the entire planet and he/she is concerned on how he/she participates in and
contributes to the entire world. A digital citizen, on the other hand, adheres to guidelines
that govern the ethical and responsible use of technology and acts responsibly in all
relationships and interactions in the digital world.
When we mix this two together, it’s the perfect recipe for the Global Digital
Citizen. A global digital citizen is a responsible, ethical citizen leveraging technology to
foster community on a global scale through connection and compassion. The global
digital citizen understands that we can govern technology for the benefit of both ourselves
and others. It is a citizen that views the world as an interconnected community.
Additionally the digital citizen realizes that we simultaneously share technological and
human experience regardless of culture, status or political/religious beliefs (Watanabe-
Crockett, 2017).

 Lesson 2: Netizenship and Netiquette in Online
Communities

Netizenship is the term netizen is a portmanteau of the words internet and

citizen, as in a “citizen of the net” or “net citizen.” It describes person actively involved in
online communities or the internet in general.

Netiquette is a short for “internet etiquette.” Just like etiquette is a code of polite
behavior on the internet. This includes several aspects of the internet, such as email,
social media, online chat, web forums, website comments, multiplayer gaming, and other
types of online communication.

The Philippines, being considered as social media capital of the world, has a need
to stress social media education and etiquette among online users. Social media can
attain many things in terms of social good (Brutas, 2015). How can social media be used
to affect positive change? We have understood our roles and responsibilities as global
digital citizens. Our membership in the virtual community requires that we behave
appropriate and act responsibility.

Scrutinizing the term again, a netizen, according to the Merriam – Webster

Dictionary (26 April 2018) is an active participant in the online community of the internet.
The medical dictionary refers to it as an internet citizen who uses networked resources,
which connotes civic responsibility are participation. Thus Netizenship means citizenship
in the internet or in the virtual world.

As responsible netizens, we are all expected to support a healthy interaction on

the internet. A netiquette, or the rules of socially accepted behavior online have to be
observed in writing an email, in texting, and other communications on the web.
Below are some netiquette guidelines:

1. Protect your reputation. Whether in real or in virtual world, you are the same person.
Do only what is appropriate and share information that does not harm you as a person.

2. Respect others. Respect begets respect. Treat everyone with respect even if you have
not seen him/her in person. Be judicious about what you say on your own and other’s
pages.

3. Express yourself clearly and use emoticons. Communication online is difficult

because emotions are nor evident during communication. Miscommunication usually
takes place because your facial expression and your body language cannot be seen

Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 Page 10 of 17

and the tone of your voice cannot be heard. Thus, emoticons are readily available to
show your emotions.

4. Remember the intellectual property. Ideas online are products of intelligence of

others. If you need to cite them, acknowledge the authors.

5. Check spelling, grammar and punctuation. Since your face cannot be seen online,
you will be judged according to your post. Good writing means good manners. We do not
want to waste other people’s time reading our post which is incomprehensible.

6. Pause before you post. Take note that whatever you post become permanent
therefore think twice or thrice before you click send.

7. Do not share your personal information. Sharing your personal information online
is like going around the stress wearing a shirt printed with your name, birthday, address,
name of parents, etc. you definitely do not want to reveal all these to many people.
Besides, providing all these publicly will make you prone to identify theft.

8. Think about who or what you are representing. As a son\daughter, you represent
your family. As a student you represent your school. You do not want your family. As a
student, you represent your school. You do not want your family or school to be put to
shame by what you do.

 Intellectual Property Rights on the
Lesson 3: Development and Use of Digital
Materials

Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property protection is important in fostering innovation. Without
protection of ideas, individuals will not be able to enjoy the full benefit of their invention
without the fear that a competitor will steal the idea and /or take credit for it.
Intellectual property, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO), refers to creations of mind such as inventions; literary and artistic works; design;
and symbol, names and image use to commerce. An intellectual property right is a right
held by a person or by a company to have exclusive right over these. Internationally,
these intellectual properties are protected by WIPO to which the Philippines is one of the
191 member states. In our country, we have the Intellectual Property Office of the
Philippines (IPOPHIL) which administers and implements state policies in relation to
intellectual property. Which administers and implements states policies in relation to
intellectual property. This office was created through Republic Act 8293. This act defines
intellectual property to include copyrights and related rights; trademarks and service
marks; geographic indications; industrial designs; patents; layout designs of integrated
circuits; and protection of undisclosed information. In the education setting, copyright and
related rights are the ones applicable.

Copyright Infringement is copying one’s work without obtaining permission.

Plagiarism refers to copying the work of another and claiming it as one’s idea or

Copyright refers to the legal right given to the owner of the original work or
intellectual property. These “works” are original intellectual creations in the literary and
artistic domain protected from the moment of their creation which include the following.

3. Downloading an article from a newspaper website, making copies and distributing

them to your students prior to a class discussion on the topic is permissible
following the current photocopy guidelines which permits making multiple copies
for classroom use. The exception would be individually bylined, copyrighted

 We have understood our roles and responsibilities as global digital citizens. Our
membership in the virtual community requires that we behave appropriately and act
responsibly.

Intellectual property protection is important in fostering innovation. Without

protection of ideas, individuals will not be able to enjoy the full benefit of their invention
without the fear that a competitor will steal the idea and /or take credit for it.

While working online, we create a digital tattoo and we leave digital footprints. We
have to remember that our digital world is permanent, and with each post, we leave a
digital footprints. By doing self-reflecting before we reveal, we are able to consider how
and what we share online can impact ourselves and others.

Congratulations! You finished reading all the important information in this module.
I hope you fully understand and appreciate this lesson. Do the required learning activities
to test yourself on how much you have learned the lesson and if you are able to answer
all the learning tasks without any mistake, congrats you may now proceed to the next
