No matter what platform they use, Web site they visit, or device they own, it’s important that teens follow certain rules of the road as they’re traveling through cyberspace. Good cybercitizens know both their rights and responsibilities when interacting online, and they stick to a code of conduct that makes a clear distinction between proper and improper behavior. In this narrative, aligned to reading standards for literacy in technical subjects, readers learn that this code of conduct is known as ethics and that it will help them make smart and safe decisions while online. The volume offers them tips about safeguarding online privacy and their identity, enhancing their digital footprints, understanding plagiarism and piracy, and using etiquette and courtesy in the online world.
