Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of digital citizenship and ethical use of technology within the realm of education. In the contemporary digital age, the integration of technology into educational practices has become integral, offering numerous benefits. However, it also presents challenges, particularly regarding the ethical use of technology and the development of responsible digital citizens. The paper delves into the concept of digital citizenship, emphasizing its importance in fostering responsible, ethical, and informed technology use among students. It examines various aspects of ethical technology use, such as privacy, data security, and intellectual property rights. Additionally, the paper evaluates current educational strategies and frameworks for promoting digital citizenship and ethical technology use. By analyzing case studies and empirical evidence, the paper highlights the impact of these initiatives on student behavior and technological literacies. Ultimately, the paper argues that a comprehensive approach to integrating digital citizenship and ethical technology use into education is crucial for nurturing informed, responsible, and ethical digital citizens.
