In this changing global economy, users need to be prepared and trained how to interact and work with users from around the world. Technology is helping to define this new global society. Being part of a society provides opportunities to its citizens but also asks that its members behave in certain way. This new technological society is drawing users together to learn, share and interact with one another in the virtual world. But, for all users to be productive, there needs to be a defined level of acceptable activity by everyone; in other words, a digital citizenship. Digital Citizenship provides a structure for this digital society, by organizing major concepts of appropriate technology use. Digital Citizenship defines this new culture by organizing digital technology use. Anyone using these digital technologies needs to understand the parameters of appropriate use so that they can become more constructive digital citizens.
