Digital citizenship, cyberbullying, and source evaluation
Aligned to ISTE — CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards.
What this lesson teaches
Being a good digital citizen means acting responsibly online: protecting your privacy and reputation, giving credit instead of plagiarizing, and treating others with respect. It also means knowing how to recognize and respond to cyberbullying, and how to evaluate whether an online source is credible before you believe or share it.
Worked example
A post claims a celebrity said something shocking, but the only source is an unknown website with lots of ads and spelling errors. You check a couple of trusted news sites, find nothing, and decide not to share it because the source is not credible.
Practice questions
- Name one way to be a responsible digital citizen.
- What are two steps you could take if you witness cyberbullying?
- List two warning signs that an online source might not be trustworthy.

Ciudadanía digital, ciberacoso y evaluación de fuentes
Ser un buen ciudadano digital significa actuar de forma responsable en línea: proteger tu privacidad y reputación, dar crédito en lugar de plagiar y tratar a los demás con respeto. También significa saber cómo reconocer y responder al ciberacoso, y cómo evaluar si una fuente en línea es confiable antes de creerla o compartirla.
Ejemplo: Una publicación dice que una celebridad dijo algo impactante, pero la única fuente es un sitio desconocido con muchos anuncios y errores de ortografía. Revisas un par de sitios de noticias confiables, no encuentras nada y decides no compartirlo porque la fuente no es creíble.
