2. Cybersafety: what is it?
Cybersafety is the ability to act in a safe and responsible
manner while using technology.
The goal in teaching this is to help people to recognize
online risks, make informed decisions and take
appropriate actions to protect themselves.
This also includes helping people understand the
importance of following terms of use guidelines, having
also a disciplined and productive use of internet time,
safely exiting na inappropriate site and avoiding
cyberbullying.
3. 3 Cs of Digital Citizenzhip
Appropriate Contact: teach people how to have healthy
and appropriate relationship online and expect your
expectation for whom they communicate with online.
Appropriate Content: be very clear about your
expectation for acceptable content. Is it healthy,
responsible, ethical?
Appropriate Conduct: teach people appropriate online
behavior. Help them understand that everything they do
online contributes to thei online reputation.
4. For parents
You can help your child become a responsible
and ethical digital citizen with healthy online
relationships. Resilient digital citizens recognize
and seek out the 3 Cs in all digital settings.
Keep current with the technology your child uses.
Keep comunicating with your child about everything they
experience on internet.
Keep checking your child’s internet activity. Know where
they go online.
5. For educators
You can help your students become responsible,
ethical and resilitent digital citizens. Resilient
digital citizents recognize and seek out the 3 Cs in
all digital settings (e.g., iPods, instant messaging,
chat, computer, games, cell phones, webcams).
For communities
Community and faith-based organizations play a
critical role in empowering communities and youth to
become responsible, ethical and resilient digital
citizens.
6. Digital Citenship
“a holistic and positive approach to helping
children learn how to be safe and secure, as
well as smart and effective participants in a
digital world. That means helping them
understand their rights and responsibilities,
recognize the benefits and risks, and realize
the personal and ethical implications of their
actions.“
Community and faith-based organizations play a
critical role in empowering communities and youth
to become responsible, ethical and resilient digital
citizens.
7. Balacing Screen Time
Balancing our real life with screen time can be a trick
for adults and kids. Because digital media is useful
and engaging—and good at holding our attention—it
can be tempting to use it all the time. Users with a
“compulsive Internet habit, . . . exhibit a higher
incidence of moderate to severe depression than non-
addicted users.”
The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to
recommend that children and teens use no more
than two hours per day of screen time, and that
parents create an “electronic media-
free”environment in children’s bedrooms. Parents
can support each
other and empower other parents by following these
guidelines.
8. Ethical Use
Students and staff must learn to function as ethically
in their online world as they do in their offline world.
To apply ethics tothe digital world, we should:
Abide by terms of use.
Avoid piracy or stealing of any kind.
Respect other citizens.
Accurately represent authorship.
Acknowledge when we use ideas taken from another
source.
How we treat other citizens online affects how we feel
about ourselves and the world around us. Students
can't harass, abuse,
or otherwise mistreat people (harassment/bullying) or
property (hacking, piracy).
9. Personal Information
“Generally, the information that children shouldn't share
online doesn't deviate much as they get older. Personally
identifiable information such as home addresses, phone
numbers, and excessive pictures should always be
avoided. At an early age, establish with children the
difference between personal information and public
information.
"Digital media can put users at risk by exposing information
to anyone with the know-how to access it—resulting in
identity theft or boundary invasion.
However, digital media offers a means to share information
quickly and broadly. Teens can locate nearby resources
(e.g., by entering a ZIP code, address, or school name
into a search engine) and share relevant information with
friends and family
(e.g., social plans, pick-up times).
10. Relationships
Digital media are excellent tools for forging and
maintaining healthy and safe relationships. For
example, 82% of socialnetworking teens say they
use these sites to stay in touch with friends they
rarely see in person. Another study reports that
time spent on Facebook facilitates offline
interactions. As with all tools, how we use them
determines whether they provide positive
opportunities or expose us to risk. Media can either
enhance relationships, supporting positive growth,
or put users at risk.
This is an area where tweens and teens will need
mentoring from the adults in their lives. They may
need encouragement to take a break from digital
media or to report harassment (of themselves or
others) or inappropriate contact.
11. Reputation
Storing important information digitally (e.g. account
numbers, phone numbers, health information, etc.)
provides convenience but may also put users at risk
if confidential information is accessed at the wrong
time, by the wrong people, or if the device is
misplaced. Families can work together to achieve
digital security for everyone within the home.
Parents should: Secure and back up data, monitor
devices used by minors and also be careful with
Antivirus and spyware suppression, Filtering,
patching, and firewalls.

13. C3 Matrix
The iKeepSafe Digital Citizenship C3 Matrix is provided here
to assist educators in integrating the essentials of cyber-
safety, cyber-security, and cyber-ethics (C3 concepts) into
existing technology and literacy standards and curricula. It
takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to preparing
students for 21st century digital communication. The Matrix
outlines competency levels for C3 concepts divided into
three levels: basic, intermediate, and proficient. The three
competency levels outlined in the C3 Matrix are not
identified by grade level; rather, they represent progressive
levels of cognitive complexity at which youth should be
expected to understand and practice.

too much personal information away, which
make it easier for people to prey on them.
Avoid porn websites.
Access mostly websites you already know.
Never click on anything that makes wild
promises.
