2.The clan 

I joined a clan by the name of BIT1-Pretoria and in our clan we have the leader of the clan.Our clan will engage in clan wars with other countries and communication is used during the time of war.We protect our clan by building a security around ourselves so that if a war is broke we are protected even more.

3 .The communication

Our clan we have a leader and the way we communicate is that if I send a messages to the clan, the members of the clan will see the messages that I sent to them and we can communicate locally or globally. Everyone in the clan will have access to communicate with everyone anytime when we build our security, make strategies and during war clans whether locally or globally so the communication is effective.

4.How can the game be used to educate young generation about the digital citizenship

The game can educate younger generation to access the digital world, there will have "full electronic participation in society" It will give them basic skill to access technology and it will improve their communication skills because on the game communication is used so that the goals of the game are archived as planned.(digitalcitizenship.net)

The game can decrease the digital divide among society because if the younger generation grow up having the knowledge, skills and infrastructure to access the digital world a digital dive among society may be reduced.(IIE module manual)

The young stars will learn on how to be responsible when using the internet and we can avoid things such as cyber bullying and taking other people intellectual property without acknowledgement, it will promote a good responsibility on the generation itself so that they be accountable when exploring and surfing the internet.(globaldigitalcitizen.org)
