  1. it means to me to utilise the web as a source to broadcast your thoughts and all you want that won't harm others. number2, i believe that those values are there but are much less than the real world. i believe they are there because people are still aware of the feelings of those listening to them or looking at what you type.

  3. 1. It means that we have to be responsible about what we post and think about how others would feel before we post something.
    2. No and yes. No because some people can be anonymous and hence others don't know who that person is and may hurt the viewer. Yes because some take responsibility for their commments, posts and what they download.

    1. It means being responsible and respectful users on the internet.
    2. Yes. We should respect everyone on the cyber space and not flame, spam or commit cyber bullying. If we do not dare to say it in their face, why say it online? Everyone is equal and deserve respect.

    2. Yes. We have to show respect to people as they may feel offended if we say something without realising we are hurting them. We have to show responsibility by protecting our personal information and not telling people we do not know our personal information.

  7. 1)A digital citizen is a person who frequents or uses the internet or any electronic device. It isa person who must be careful of what they are doing in the internet , be wary of what they post , upload etc and always observes values like respect.

    2) Values like respect and responsibility exists in cyber space. This is because you are interacting with other people and even though you are interacting with them through internet , it is no different than compared with interacting with them in real life and all the social ethos than applies to real life would also apply to the cyber space. If you dont respect have these values when using internet or in cyber space , people will not like you and they too will react to you without values too.

  8. 1. What does it mean to be a Digital Citizen of Netizen?
    Being a Digital Citizen or Netizen is to obey the rules on the internet, & to post or do the right thing,
    2. Do values like Respect & Responsibility exist in cyber space? Why?
    I believe they do. When we do something online, it is public. Everyone can see it, & if you post something that is directed to them or they think is directed towards them, it might hurt their feelings. Therefore, we must respect other people online to. We have the responsibility of reflecting & thinking twice before do something.

  9. 1) It means that we must respect others when using online platforms and do not post anything offensive to hurt others.

    2)Yes, values do exist in Cyberspace. If we do not have any values, people can just post anything on online platforms, even those that are offensive to others and may hurt their feelings and may affect their lives. With values, we can go online happily without fear of your feelings being hurt

  10. To be a digital citizen or a netizen means that we must respect everyone on the internet. We must not be rude to anyone online.
    Values like respect and responsibility do exist in Cyber space. If it does not exist, it would be haywire as there must be respect and responsibility when we are connecting with the cyber world.

  11. Activity 1B questions1:
    what does it mean to be a digital citizen or netzen?
    --
    Being a digital citizen or a netzen means that you are responsible for whatever you put onto the internet, including pictures, videos, texts etc. It also means that you respect each other's privacy, not posting people's secret onto the internet, or even uploading copyrighted materials online without permission.

    Do values like respect and responsibility exist in Cyber space?why?
    --
    Only some users of the internet have respect for others and responsible for whatever they post online. Many users of the internet made illegal sites or making accounts on social networks under the name of other people without permission. Many users also posts people's secrets onto the web, hurting people's feelings, and also threatening others. This is cyberbullying, and an action of lack of responsibility and respect.

  12. - It means to not intentionally spam or hurt others intentionally on the internet; and think before posting anything unwise.
    - Respect and responsibility do exist in Cyber space as there are still mature people who do not post hurting or criticising comments on posts, unlike a handful. They do respect some people and are responsible for what they themselves posted.

  13. It means to use the internet or social networking sites. Values like respect and responsibility exist in Cyber space because what you post can be seen by others and and if you post an offensive remark, other people may feel insulted.

  14. 1) It means to be citizens online, just like we are citizens offline.
    2) Yes. Without respect, people might offend others and it might eventually lead to quarrels offline. Without responsibility, it would make hacking into our accounts easier as we might have accidentally given out our passwords. Thus, it is extremely important to exercise values like respect and responsibility in Cyber space.

  17. 1. Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately.
    2. Thankfully, most of the times it does. But there is a small amount of people who do not have values like respect and responsibility and end up hurting other people's self-esteem, making them suicidal.

  18. 1.It means to be able to use the internet responsibly and not misuse the internet to be mean to people or to bully them.We should not post any inappropriate photos or comments.
    2.Yes,if we do not respect others,and post comments that hurt others it is considered cyber-bullying which is the same as bullying and we are not showing respect towards them. Also if 1 person does this others may think that this is "fun" and join in,and the person that is being bullied would feel hurt.Also we need to be responsible and set a time limit for ourself so that we will not go overboard and become addicted also this may affect our studies.

    I believe that such values exist because we need to respect others and be responsible in whatever we do in the digital world. When you do something online, it is public,so we have to be aware of what we do in the cyber world.
