  • The Internet is embedded in and encompasses virtually all of human life, positive, negative and neutral.
  • All that happens online is much more symptomatic (sometimes an early warning system) than a cause of social problems that we’ve been working on addressing since long before we had the Internet.
  • Internet safety education teaches kids to hide negative or deviant behavior rather than correct it. Do you see a problem with that? I do.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • What needs to be taught is skills, not just information, and certainly not all the inaccurate information so much “Internet safety education” has disseminated over nearly two decades.
  • “properties” (“persistence,” “searchability,” “replicability,” and “scalability”) and “dynamics” (“invisible audiences,” “collapsed contexts,” and “the blurring of public and private”) – and now some of those, e.g., “persistence,” are changing with the arrival of “ephemeral,” or disappearing, digital media in services
  • media is both social and digital.
  • full, healthy participation in participatory media, culture and society.
  • what protects children online is what protects them offline.
  • life skills, literacies and safeguards that are both internal – respect for self and others, resilience, empathy, and a strong inner guidance system (sometimes called a moral compass) – and external, such as good modeling, parenting and teaching by caring adults, peer mentoring, instruction in digital and media literacy, social-emotional learning, protective technology used thoughtfully, family and school rules, well-designed digital environments, and well-established laws against discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, and crime.
  • teach the skills of today’s very social digital media: digital literacy, media literacy and social literacy, which together address both media-specific risk reduction and proficiency in participatory media use.
  • ACCESS
  • ANALYZE
  • CREATE
  • REFLECT
  • “ACT:
  • These are the competencies that students need to navigate participatory media and culture.
  • providing access and opportunities to analyze, create, reflect and act as much with digital media as with older media right in core academic classes, schools are affording them the skills, community, and self-actualization that increase safety (resilience) as well as efficacy in and out of media. This is the real “Internet safety [or competency]” that needs to be taught in schools.

    We need to get this and push back against the flawed Internet Safety/Danger narrative if we are truly going to prepare students as healthy and wise citizens. "what protects children online is what protects them offline."

    Seems more reactionary and controlling. Stronger vision, leadership, and willingness to model social media use and engage students in these spaces likely would help a gread deal here. Conversation leads to learning/understanding. Harsh discipline simply leads to compliance much of the time.

  • Even when we talk about “digital citizenship,” we talk more about behavior or “Netiquette” than agency, which is essential to the participation of any citizen in participatory democracy.
  • I think that, as a society, we’ve been entirely too focused on taking agency away from children, representing them more as potential victims and passive consumers than as stakeholders in their own wellbeing and that of their peers and communities and active participants in user-driven media
  • as we stop focusing on blocking media and monitoring and controlling children and start helping them develop the skills of effective navigation and participation – they will not only be safer now, while still children, they will also be safer, more effective participants in participatory media and culture all their lives, long after they’ve left home and high school.

  • Regarding classwork, text-speak was considered moderately appropriate for use in lecture notes, but strictly off limits for assignments or exams.

    "the current study provides real-world evidence to address past media concerns that textism use is somehow damaging English literacy." At least among university students, they found, it's just not happening. So NTW (not to worry).

  • Do I live for the approval of others? Is my ego so fragile that I crave the pavlovian response of warm fuzzy feelings that result from a like, comment, share, favorite or retweet?
  • What if Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus ceased to exist? Would the human race survive without the habitual behavior we have become accustomed and addicted to in just a few short years?
  • The online world has become a meaningful, yet flawed, method for interacting, dialoguing, engaging, debating, sharing and experiencing our world and our relationships with others in real time.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Citizen journalists are slowly transforming the way we receive and interpret current events. But who directs the conversation? Millions of people all striving to have their voice heard? Is this what freedom of speech has come to? Let’s face it. It’s a beautiful mess.

    Great ideas for augmented reality... assuming the desired audience knows how to access the content... in this case with the Aurasma app. A simpler way to do this without having folks download/install Aurasma would be to use QR codes to access related media. Of course, this would require that folks have or download a QR code app.
