Digital Rights and Responsibilities
What is digital rights and responsibilities?
It is those requirements and freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world. When a person becomes a member of a group, they are expected to follow rules and regulations to participate. This is also true in a digital society where members are protected within their groups.
Essential Questions:
-What rights and responsibilities do students have in a digital society?
-How do we make students more aware of their rights and responsibilities when using digital technologies?

This following link is an example of the Trust and Monitor Policy that I created to my GLP Website-Ocean Animals Around the World. It features information that will protect an individual from participating in my project as well as providing a list of rights and responsibilities to follow. Included in the Trust and Monitor Policy is an agreement form stating that each individual participating will abide to the rules and regulations. http://glp-oceananimalsaroundtheworld.weebly.com/trust-and-monitor-policy.html
