Week 5

I believe it is important to be a good digital citizen because if not, you are putting your reputation on the line. If you are trying to publish information on the web for others to use, you want that information to be creditable so people will be willing to use it and provide your information to others. The last thing you want is for people to determine that you have plagiarized or provided false information. If this happens, then people will always question information you put out there and your credibility will always be in question. You also need to be sure when using others information, that you cite their work. You do not want to take credit for someone else's work. This will not only get you into a lot of trouble but will also destroy your reputation. In order to be a good steward of digital citizenship, you must know and be willing to follow the rules.
