ABSTRACT
This chapter assembles the views of several eminent writers on the topic of digital citizenship, and also engages a community of practitioners in a debate about the topic. It provides a better service to society if they are able to understand and debate the benefits and dangers of computer literacy. The chapter tackles the topic of digital citizenship by first defining the term based on the literature, which gives the reader an outline of the different perspectives. It reports on a knowledge creation event that was attended by a number of expert educators who debated the value of digital citizenship in the classroom context. The chapter also suggests that the methods used for running the event, as well as the collaborative knowledge that was created, would provide a good basis for a teacher who wants to set up such a debate in the classroom.
