Essential Learning Definitions.

   

• Digital Citizenship is the behaviors of technology use. These behaviors are those such as etiquette, communication, education, responsibility, safety, and security. Digital citizenship is a priority of teachers to prepare us for our long life ahead. Teachers have to incorporate all of the Digital Citizenship behaviors in our education. Some creative ways to do this is by teaching us responsibility with using computers and many more. Digital citizenship should be taught in every school. 
• Communication is a external and internal use of understanding and processing information. To communicate you use many skills, such as observing, listening, questioning, evaluating, and analyzing. People use communication all through there lives. Through communication comes collaboration, and cooperation. Communication helps us solve every problem that comes. I believe that communication is one of the most life helping aspect you can learn, if you are a good communicator, then it will help you along the rough times in life.
• Problem solving is a very important skill to learn. Problem solving is a mental process. It is also a part of a bigger problem process, this is the problem finding, and problem shaping. In our future, we will have to solve many problems. So, if we learn this process now, then it will help us in the future drastically. This skill to me is probably the most important to learn before we leave high school and even middle school. Problem solving is a way to success, in our lives we have many problems. If we learn how to quickly and rightfully learn how to solve these problems, then we will be more successful adults and young adults. 
• Creativity is a mental and social way of coming up with new ideas and concepts. Kids have amazing creativity when they are younger. However, as we start to grow up we lose our creativity and imagination. I think if we can learn to keep our creativity and use it more then we will make amazing new inventions in the future. Ways we can do this, is receive a project prompt but get to make it however we want. I believe if we have more say and have to invent something ourselves we will do better in the future. Creativity to me is the process of making something up, you have amazing talent and you use it in your own creative way, instead of being like everyone else and doing what they do.
