Buddy: A Digital Citizen

Buddy A Digital Citizen

Hi, my name is Buddy! I enjoy playing games with my friends on the Internet and looking up things as well. There are cool places to explore on the Internet, but it is a big space to navigate all on your own. This is why I am learning how to be a good digital citizen. What does that mean? Well, a citizen is a part of a larger community. It is good if you have people to encourage you to be safe while using the Internet. I share some of my advice in the videos below on how I’m learning to be safe and kind online.
