The Three Principles of Digital Citizenship
Digital Citizenship is a term used to define the appropriate and responsible use of technology among users. Three principles were developed by Mark Ribble to teach digital users how to responsibly use technology to become a digital citizen. The three principles include: respect, educate, and protect. Each principle contains three of the nine elements of digital citizenship.


 * 1) Respect: the elements of etiquette, access, and law are used to respect other digital users.
 * 2) Educate: the elements of literacy, communication, and commerce are used to learn about the appropriate use of the digital world.
 * 3) Protect: the elements of rights and responsibilities, security, and health and wellness are used to remain safe in the digital and non-digital world.

Article evaluation
Ryan Brasseaux

Content:

Relevance to topic/ anything distracting: The information was presented as factual and provided many sources. I liked that there was not a lot of detail about his personal life, such as wife and children, because those names and such information should remain private.

Anything out of date/ anything that could be added: picture of person could be added. This article could've included more of his hobbies, and more specifically of what he does in his current position.

Improvements: Make sure to use updated, current but trustworthy sources. Add information as this man advances in his career and participates in more events, talks, programs, etc.

Tone:

This article is given in a neutral position. There are no broad claims. The only claim is that he is a leading expert on the history of Cajun music, which is a neutral and plausible claim.

His education and work experience certainly contain the greatest amount of information. This article could include a brief sentence summary of what each of his 3 publications are about.

Sources:

There are an abundant amount of sources for this article. Many of the source links lead to a page that could no longer be found, so they need to be updated. Also, some sources are potentially biased due to being originated from websites/publications that are trying to "show off" this person's accomplishments in order to make their organization look better so to speak. Links need to be updated as many are no longer found.

It is a start-class article on the quality scale and is considered incomplete. There was no information on the talk page.
