Billy is confused.

Yesterday I learned about being nice online, and being a good digital citizen. I was confused with that word at first. Then I learned what it meant.


Today in school, Mrs. Greene told us she was giving us homework. We were not happy! Then she said it would be a group project using computers. We all got excited. We love using the computers!

I typed in my ideas, like we learned. Everyone made fun of me. I ran to my mom, really upset. I was crying.

Billy is happy after talking with his mom.

My mom told me I was right and I needed to use my manners . I learned that manners are the same in person and on the computer. She told me to go back and try again. My mom makes everything better.


I went back onto the computer and was a good digital citizen .
