User Rights that Should be Included as part of the norms of the digital world?

The user rights that I feel should be part of the norms of the digital world, for students, is explained below:

Students are not adults (unless they are 18). I believe that a user right for students is the "right to mess up." If we use the digital tools as teaching tools, then a norm should be established that gives us a teaching mindset that includes the fact that we are working with learners who will make mistakes. A user right is to have a fair policy to deal with students when they fail at being a digital citizen. Consequences should be created with a spirit of "teaching moments." The videos discussed analogies such as teaching digital citizenship is like driver's education. If a student can't parallel park and they end up in a fender bender, we don't take the car totally away from the child and say, "you will now go to jail and never drive again!" I have seen these extreme consequences given to children and it is unnecessary and punitive.

I think you have a good point there.  There has to be room for error (depending on the level of "mess up" haha) - I've seen that look on a student's face like, "Yep.  I shouldn't have done that."

I agree with your thinking that punitive consequences are not logical for students learning to navigate the digital world.  However, I believe that there are many natural consequences that can be enforced when students make mistakes or choose to do things online that put themselves or others in danger, or break the rules set forth by adults.  When we fail as the adults responsible for teaching digital citizenship to enforce those natural consequences, we are removing the opportunity for students to learn.
