Edutopia is one of my favourite educational web resources . Today while I was checking its Five Minute Film Festival page I came across a link that took me to their YouTube channel where I found a treasure trove of interesting videos on digital citizenship and because digital citizenship is one of the important themes in this blog, I decided to handpick some of the clips that grabbed my attention and share them with you below , you can also check the entire list here.
"Digital citizenship" is an umbrella term that covers a whole host of important issues. Broadly, it's the guidelines for responsible, appropriate behavior when one is using technology.

He offers suggestions for conscientiously navigating common situations that leave us confused about whether to embrace new practices or cling to old standards.
Considering how ubiquitous smartphones have become, especially in high school and middle school, questions about managing smartphones and educating students about digital etiquette are on a lot of parents' minds. This year, in conjunction with October's Connected Educator Month, Common Sense Media is sponsoring Digital Citizenship Week from October 19 through October 25.

In this session we will explore the ISTE Digital Equity Standards.
