Netiquette - 0 views

  • Netiquette is a collection of social conventions which dictate the way in which people interact with each other on the Internet. The term is a portmanteau of “net,” short for “Internet,” and “etiquette.” Like social etiquette in real life, the rules of netiquette are commonly in flux, and they may vary significantly between different groups of Internet users and across different cultures. Some websites even post their own netiquette guidelines under headings such as “rules” or “comment policies” to provide directions to their users.

Why is Digital Literacy Important? - Purposeful Technology-Constructing Meaning in 21st... - 1 views

  • Digital literacy is one component of being a digital citizen - a person who is responsible for how they utilize technology to interact with the world around them.
  • Literacy skills have always been important.
  • Students today learn in ways that their teachers could not even imagine decades ago when they were in school.

  • The way students learn and their abilities to showcase their learning has surpassed the years of book reports, posters, and shoe box representations. "We will not be able to achieve a liberating, collective intelligence until we can achieve a collective digital literacy, and we have now, more than ever, perhaps, the opportunity and the technologies to assist  us in the human project of shaping, creating, authoring and developing ourselves as the formers of our own culture.

  • Digital technology allows people to interact and communicate with family and friends on a regular basis due to
  • the "busy constraints" of today's world.
  • Not only do white-collar jobs require digital literacy in the use of media to present, record and analyze data, but so do blue-collar jobs who are looking for way to increase productivity and analyze market trends, along with increase job safety.
  • higher order thinking skills taught to students in previous times.
  • Today's students are able to use the internet to research and find text sources, videos, pod casts and presentations related to anything they would like to learn about. The big catch is, can this "Google,  yahoo" part of the brain begin to differentiate what resources they consume online are valid or not. Can this "goggle, yahoo" part of the brain create new meaning from the authentic sources they read? Will this "goggle, yahoo" part of the brain lead to great innovations and discoveries that help humans understand their place in the world and make life easier for all our world's citizens?

New Media Literacy In Education: Learning Media Use While Developing Critical Thinking ... - 1 views

      very good search criteria here. explains how to narrow your search and validify information
  • What sources does the author cite, and what do others say about those sources?
  • Education, media-literacy-wise, is happening now after school and on weekends and when the teacher isn't looking, in the SMS messages, MySpace pages, blog posts, podcasts, videoblogs that technology-equipped digital natives exchange among themselves.

  • At that point, I saw education – the means by which young people learn the skills necessary to succeed in their place and time – as diverging from schooling.
  • chools will remain places for parents to put their kids while they go to work, and for society to train a fresh supply of citizen-worker-consumers to be employed by the industries of their time.
  • But the kind of questioning, collaborative, active, lateral rather than hierarchical pedagogy that participatory media both forces and enables is not the kind of change that takes place quickly or at all in public schools.
  • someone needs to educate children about the necessity for critical thinking and encourage them to exercise their own knowledge of how to make moral choices.
  • the basic moral values – is supposed to be what their parents and their religions are responsible for.
  • But the teachable skill of knowing how to make decisions based on those values has become particularly important now that a new medium suddenly connects young people to each other and to the world's knowledge in ways no previous generation experienced.

      anything can be learned by researching on the internet and proper wordings. as long as you know whats going to give you the truest results.
    • ino moreno
       
      the ability to differentiate between right and wrong is a huge deal when researching and trying to find good knowledge.. for example if you where to type "blow up" in google you would get all kinds of "JuNK" if you were to specify a noun in the search you could exponentially narrow your "junk" results. "Right vs. Wrong" isnt always pertaining to internet pornography. as said in this article. the principles behind it are what matters as well as your ability to use them.
  • e teach our kids how to cross the street and what to be careful about in the physical world. And now parents need to teach their kids how to exercise good sense online. It's really no more technical than reminding your children not to give out their personal information to strangers on the telephone or the street. When it comes to helping them learn how to be citizens in a democracy, media literacy education is central to 21st century civic education.
  • At the same time that emerging media challenge the ability of old institutions to change, I think we have an opportunity today to make use of the natural enthusiasm of today's young digital natives for cultural production as well as consumption, to help them learn to use the media production and distribution technologies now available to them to develop a public voice about issues they care about.
  • The media available to adolescents today, from videocameraphones to their own websites, to laptop computers, to participatory media communities like MySpace and Youtube, are orders of magnitude more powerful than those available in the age of the deskbound, text-only Internet and dial-up speeds.
  • Those young people who can afford an Internet-connected phone or laptop are taking to the multimedia web on their own accord by the millions– MySpace gets Google-scale traffic and Youtube serves one hundred million videos a day.
  • Although the price of entry is dropping, there is still an economic divide; nevertheless, the online population under the age of 20 is significant enough for Rupert Murdoch to spend a quarter billion dollars to buy MySpace.

      one page, lots of useful information!
  • 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.
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • 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.
