When you are presenting social media and digital responsibility, don't lecture your students on why it is bad to post inappropriate pictures on Facebook, but have them search for examples.
Before students can, to use a basketball phrase, take a shot, they must understand the fundamentals.
Real life applications of the understanding of digital citizenship. It is important to learn the basics and use those building blocks to surpass mediocracy, throughout a technologically advanced society.

1. Digital Access: full electronic participation in society.
2. Digital Commerce: electronic buying and selling of goods.
3. Digital Communication: electronic exchange of information.
4. Digital Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology.
5. Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
6. Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds
7. Digital Rights & Responsibilities: those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world.
8. Digital Health & Wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world.
9. Digital Security (self-protection): electronic precautions to guarantee safety.
In the 19th century, forms of communication were limited. In the 21st century, communication options have exploded to offer a wide variety of choices (e.g., e-mail, cellular phones, instant messaging). The expanding digital communication options have changed everything because people are able to keep in constant communication with anyone else.
A renewed focus must be made on what technologies must be taught as well as how it should be used.
Learners must be taught how to learn in a digital society. In other words, learners must be taught to learn anything, anytime, anywhere.
Business, military, and medicine are excellent examples of how technology is being used differently in the 21st century. As new technologies emerge, learners need to learn how to use that technology quickly and appropriately. Digital Citizenship involves educating people in a new way— these individuals need a high degree of information literacy skills.
We recognize inappropriate behavior when we see it, but before people use technology they do not learn digital etiquette (i.e., appropriate conduct).
Many people feel uncomfortable talking to others about their digital etiquette. Often rules and regulations are created or the technology is simply banned to stop inappropriate use.
It is not enough to create rules and policy, we must teach everyone to become responsible digital citizens in this new society.
Digital law deals with the ethics of technology within a society.
Users need to understand that stealing or causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.
Hacking into others information, downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating destructive worms, viruses or creating Trojan Horses, sending spam, or stealing anyone’s identify or property is unethical.
Just as in the American Constitution where there is a Bill of Rights, there is a basic set of rights extended to every digital citizen. Digital citizens have the right to privacy, free speech, etc. Basic digital rights must be addressed, discussed, and understood in the digital world. With these rights also come responsibilities as well. Users must help define how the technology is to be used in an appropriate manner. In a digital society these two areas must work together for everyone to be productive.
Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome, and sound ergonomic practices are issues that need to be addressed in a new technological world. Beyond the physical issues are those of the psychological issues that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet addiction. Users need to be taught that there inherent dangers of technology. Digital Citizenship includes a culture where technology users are taught how to protect themselves through education and training.
In any society, there are individuals who steal, deface, or disrupt other people. The same is true for the digital community.
digital security teaches us that we need protection at all times. ex{ virus protectionvirus protection
We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and surge control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must protect our information from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.

I agree with Ryan Strong, but also add. That to be a "Digital Native" a person, must not only be raise in a digital era, but is comfortable with digital tools.
It says that college administrators are seeking ways to prevent misbehavior of students on the Internet by imposing policies on computer use. General counsel Steven McDonald from Rhode Island School of Design states that instead of creating elaborate policies and procedures, these officials should teach students the basic principles in using computer like telling them that cyberspace is not free from law.

WiTricity Corporation make devices that allows wireless charging.
WiTricity is also developing technology for wireless charging of electric vehicles and, later, for use in implanted medical devices like heart pumps, said Katie Hall, its chief technology officer.
The technology is based on magnetic induction -- the process used to recharge electric toothbrushes. In the toothbrush, the base has a magnetic coil that generates a magnetic field. A second coil in the toothbrush captures some of that field, inducing an electric current.But electric toothbrushes transfer power only from the primary coil to the secondary one at very close range. Move the brush a short distance from the base, and it won't charge.
WiTricity has signed a technology transfer and licensing agreement with MediaTek, a semiconductor company in Taiwan, to collaborate on systems for wireless charging of mobile handsets, tablet computers, game controllers and other devices, Mr. Giler said.

AFP - RELAXNEWS (English International Version)
Two film stars, Michael Douglas and Paul Rudd, are to share the title role in the next film from "The World's End" director Edgar Wright, due 2015.
After Robert Redford's stint in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," Marvel has recruited another legendary actor for an upcoming blockbuster in Michael Douglas.
The 69-year-old will become the face of Henry Pym and hand over the Ant-Man moniker to Scott Lang, the new hero played by Paul Rudd.
Ant-Man first appeared in print in 1962 and has become the alter ego for a number of Marvel characters; the film sees Lang succeed Pym as the electronics whizz in charge of wearing the Ant-Man mantle, able to shrink, grow, and communicate with insects.
Dated for July 31, 2015, "Ant-Man" should also result in the character's addition to the supporting cast of the next Avengers film, set for mid-2018.
