Which term covers education on responsible online behavior and ethics?

• A. Digital Citizenship
• B. Technology Integration
• C. Resource Selection
• D. Information Access

Answer: (A)

Digital citizenship is the term that captures education on responsible online behavior and ethics. It covers how to use technology safely and respectfully, protect privacy and personal data, respect others online, understand consent and copyright, avoid plagiarism, and evaluate information critically. In schools, teaching digital citizenship helps students navigate online spaces ethically and responsibly, which goes beyond simply knowing how to use devices. This differs from technology integration (using tech in lessons), resource selection (choosing reliable materials), and information access (finding information), which are about tools, sources, and retrieval rather than the ethical conduct online.
