During Information and Software Technology this term, we have been involved in the digiteen project, which taught us digital elements and how to be a digital citizen.

The wiki pages had to be edited by these students and answer a particular topic. E.g. my topic was collaboration and literacy. The subtopic wiki page consisted of two qu… Continue

When I first started this topic I had no idea what the term digital citizenship meant or how it applied to my everyday life. But as the term progressed and is still progressing my understanding of this topic has expanded through the use of collaborating with kids my age around the world and also the use of Wiki’s.

The world collaboration is a word that before I started this topic really didn’t fully unde… Continue
