                      As technology becomes a part of our daily lives, the line between the real world and the digital
                      world is becoming increasingly thin. Students today use smartphones, computers, and the Internet
                      for learning, communication, entertainment, and creativity. With so much time spent online, it is

                      important to understand how to behave in ways that keep us safe and supports a positive digital
                      environment. This chapter introduces the idea of digital citizenship, a concept that teaches us
                      how to use technology wisely and responsibly.

                      DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

                                                        “Read the story of Riya, a class 8 student.”

                      Riya begins her day by using WhatsApp to check in with her classmates. She considers forwarding
                      a humorous meme about a classmate that she found online. She then recalls the advice given by
                      her teacher: “Would this be said on the person’s face? If not, it should not be posted or forwarded
                      online.” Instead of sharing the meme, Riya deleted it.
