Tool to use
I would use "Identifying High Quality Sites." This tool is very useful to help students evaluate what information is and isn't valuable. It's also helpful because it shows how there are no checks for accuracy or quality on the internet, meaning people can say whatever they want. Being a good digital citizen means knowing what is and isn't true.

I like this tool because it brings it back to "act online as you would act in person." It helps students to connect their online persona with their IRL persona. I also like that it provides tips with dealing with negative things about yourself online and trying to take control of what is said about you online. I think it comes back to the idea that once it's online it's there forever, so it's in your best interest to not put it there in the first place.
Health and Protection
Practice Online Security
Protect the Privacy of yourself and others
Once it's online, you can't control it

This is an excellent tool because it relates biology (and science) to technology. In everything below I tried to relate being a Global Digital Citizen to Science and Technology, since that's what I know and teach. I like that this source talks about technology addiction. I really think that this lesson could be interesting and relevant to students today.
Connecting Digital Citizenship to Global Citizenship
Students today don't have to be the next Greta Thunberg to contribute to globally. By simply acting in a positive way in the digital world, students can contribute positively globally. I would encourage students to find an area of science that interests them, then to join an online discussion board or a news group (for example, the Canadian Society for Chemistry) to learn more about what's going on in the field and how they can contribute.
Encouraging students to be active and engaged global citizens
