ISTE Standard 4.7 recognizes that digital spaces are extensions of human society and places where human interactions take place.  Consequently, there are ways to operate in digital environments that reflect ethical behavior and good citizenship.  This standard asks coaches to help educators model digital citizenship and a sensibility for digital ethics, both in their online presence and in their teaching practice. Each substandard provides evidence for having met standard 4.7 through written investigations and applied learning.
