Vicki Davis, a blogger for Edutopia, lays out the "9 Key Ps" of digital citizenship in her post for teachers, but the list applies to parents concerned about the issue as well. The “Ps” cover everything from protecting personal information to copyrighted property. She emphasizes the importance of letting students experience situations that allow them to apply their knowledge of digital citizenship, and provides some examples of experiential learning to help teach important skills.
