I really like this idea - a murder mystery solved by piecing together a person's life by the digital fragments they have left behind... hope it's as good as it sounds

I have added this resource as it is relevant to the identity of a learner. In some cases the mindset of a learner needs to be reset when talking about digital literacy.

This is a blog entry report of a webinar in which the presenters discussed using technology to transform learning. "It empowers students to use the tool to access information and engage in the creation of a new product. Fisher emphasized the need to shift to student-centered work; the student is the producer rather than consumer. To make this happen learners need ample opportunIties wIth authentic tasks in alternative instructional contexts." There are lots of suggestions for hardware and apps, wIth links to the ideas and resources discussed.

Another post about letting the students access their tools of communication. The website this is attached to is well worth a look as it links to the Australian Curriculum.

Exploring the concept and practice of digital citizenship. A really good resource and a perfect example of good curation too.

This site, designed by Fuel Industries, includes three main components that are meant to be explored together. Videos: Each location -- Home, School, Mall -- includes several video shorts about a modern family's experience online. You determine which path the family members take at the critical decision point. Do you text that to your boyfriend? Do you purchase that ukulele? These shorts are just snapshots of more complicated issues. But, they all attempt to address a fundamental message of taking a moment to think before acting. Interactive Objects: As you view each video, you can collect interactive objects! An object opens up a quick game about the subject of the video. Once you collect the object, you can access it at anytime during your session. Messages: When you scroll down the site, you will find complementary messages targeted for each audience -- Students, Parents, Educators. These messages intend to strike a quick educational point. If you want to find out more about the subject, just click the link below the message. This will open up a pop-up with tips, advice, and links to partner resources. Make sure to check out the resources as linked in the educators' and parents' sections of the site! These resources point to curriculum and advice provided by Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely, and National Consumers League.

ThinkB4U is a "choose your own adventure" style interactive learning site designed to get everyone -- from parents to students to teachers -- thinking about how to use the Internet safely and responsibly.

A policy brief regarding recommendations for family, student use of digital media.

Enter the digital citizen. Digital citizenship is, as Karen Mossberger puts it, "representing capacity, belonging, and the potential for political and economic engagement in society in the information age."

"If you've scratched your head over suggestions to manage your "digital footprint," you aren't the only one. A surprisingly large percentage of people have never even heard the phrase, let alone thought about how to manage theirs responsibly. Among students, the percentage is probably higher. We'll talk about ways you can help students understand and manage their digital footprints before they get themselves in trouble."

After reading this article, I asked my 10 year old if he knows what his 'digital footprint' is...I was surprised that he did. it is vital to teach people about their footprint at a younger age, so they have time to be thoughtful about their digital lives.

An interesting article that splits digital citizenship into two (citizenship and rights), not sure it is necessary but may be helpful for some. Possibly good for focusing/separating policy development into more manageable parts. Unsure.

These are various concepts explained on Digital Citizenship
