Digital+Citizenship+Website

For this assignment we were to develop a website focusing on the topic of Digital Citizenship and what it means. Our website had to include 3 separate topic pages including “Digital Access”, “Digital Etiquette” and “Rights and Responsibilities”. Each page focuses the different factors that cumulatively represent what it means to be a Digital Citizen.

Reflection: For my website on Digital Citizenship, I chose to create a format that incorporated brief explanation as to the topic and supporting media for elaboration. As I was planning on how I wanted to deliver the information required for my website, I tried to be a bit reflective and design a website that I would personally choose. I am not very attracted to websites that are full of information that I have to read and then mentally digest, I am just more of a visual learner. Keeping my own preference in mind, I set out to design a site that I would actually spend time on. In my own experiences on the internet, if I am researching a topic and the website is overloaded with text, I usually skip it and move on to the next site in the list. I decided that since I was putting so much time into my website, I wanted people to stop and browse a while, so I decided to format it the way I did.
