    "Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use. 1. Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure. Technology users often see this area as one of the most pressing problems when dealing with Digital Citizenship. 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. 2. Digital Communication: electronic exchange of information. One of the significant changes within the digital revolution is a person's ability to communicate with other people. 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. Now everyone has the opportunity to communicate and collaborate with anyone from anywhere and anytime. Unfortunately, many users have not been taught how to make appropriate decisions when faced with so many different digital communication options. 3. Digital Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology. While schools have made great progress in the area of technology infusion, much remains to be done.

  • 10 Ways To Stay Safe Online 1. Be a responsible cyber citizen. If you use the Internet, you're a citizen of a global community-a cyber citizen. Just like being a citizen of your local community, being a cyber citizen has responsibilities. Use the Internet to share knowledge that makes people's lives better. Keep safe, use good manners and respect the laws. 2. Use anti-virus software. A computer virus is a program that can invade your computer and damage or destroy information. Anti-virus software is designed to protect you and your computer against known viruses. But with new viruses emerging daily, anti-virus programs need to be updated regularly. Check with the web site of your anti-virus software company to see some sample descriptions of viruses and to get regular updates for your software. Stop viruses in their tracks! 3. Do not open email from unknown sources. Delete email from unknown sources. Watch out for files attached to e-mails, particularly those with an "exe" extension-even if people you know sent them to you. Some files transport and distribute viruses and other programs that can permanently destroy files and damage computers and Web sites. Do not forward e-mail if you are not completely sure that any attached files are safe. 4. Use hard-to-guess passwords and keep them private. Do not write passwords down on small pieces of paper taped to your computer. You would be surprised how many people are sloppy about keeping their passwords private. Passwords that are easy to-guess are a bad choice. In other words, if your name is "Dan" do not make your password "Dan." Change your passwords regularly and don't give your passwords to anyone! Tell your family that combinations of letters, numbers and symbols are harder to crack than just words. 5. Protect computers with firewalls. Install firewalls for your family-it is not difficult. A firewall helps prevent hackers from breaking into your computer or the computers that belong to your family. Firewalls help prevent thieves from stealing and using private information including your phone number and credit card numbers, which may be stored on a family computer. 6. Do not share access to your computers with strangers. Learn about file sharing risks. Your computer operating system may allow other computers on a network, including the Internet, to access the hard-drive of your computer in order to "share files". This ability to share files can be used to infect your computer with a virus or look at the files on your computer if you do not pay close attention. Check your operating system and other program help files to learn how to disable file sharing. Do not share access to your computer with strangers! 7. Disconnect from the Internet when not in use. The Internet is a two-way road. You get information and also send information. Turning off the Internet makes sure that someone else on the Internet can't enter your computer and cause harm. Disconnecting your computer from the Internet when you are not online lessens the chance that someone will be able to access your computer. 8. Back-up your computer regularly. Help your family back up all household computers onto external media such as CD's or diskettes. 9. Regularly download security protection update "patches". Security flaws are regularly found in operating systems and application software. Companies that make software release quick fixes called "patches" that you should install to correct the latest software flaw. It is a good idea to check for security updates on the publisher's Web site for all the software you own. 10. Help your family to check computer security on a regular basis. Evaluate computer security at least twice a year. To help remember, do it when you change the clocks for daylight-savings time! Check for all of the items listed previously.

    Many parents are strict on their kids about the internet, not because they don't trust their kids, but because they are not well versed with the aspects of the internet! We need to get our parents informed about the internet so they will be a better example for online citizenship for their children! Tips shared to help parents with online parenting: Give kids a code of conduct. Remind them not to post/IM/text anything they wouldn't say to that person's face; Discuss cyber-bullying with kids and ask if they know anyone who has been bullied; Talk about the importance of privacy and how to protect it discuss their online identity and possible risky behavior. "Raise good digital citizens!" Kids' online activity can affect their safety, reputation, college and career options, among other things in the "real world," so it's important they're smart about their online activity.[Kids are] leaving digital prints everywhere they go," Boss said, they need to be careful where those prints are left and what they're left on. School District Holds Cyber Smart Presentation Parents learned what their kids are doing out in cyberspace on Wednesday night during the school district's Cyber Smart presentation. The district-wide event is meant to provide parents with information and resources about online safety precautions, age appropriate websites, cyber trends, how to spot, prevent and deal with internet issues, and how to protect their kids' computers and cell phones. "The whole evening is about educating parents about the technology that's out there," said Laura Boss The presentation encouraged parents to embrace their kids' digital world, support balanced use, monitor their kids' digital media use, and discuss what sites they are allowed to visit and what they can and can't download.

  • Google Promotes Online Safety With 'Good to Know' Campaign
  • Google is about to launch its first online safety campaign. Teaming with the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), Google will promote “safe computer usage” for users: by logging out of computers when they're finished using them, specialized child protection, use of cookies in web browsers, and 'two-factor authorization' which sees the user entering a password and then a unique verification code sent to their mobile device
  • Gillan Guy, the CAB's chief executive, said that “Information is a powerful tool for preventing problems from arising in the first and safety, personal data and identity theft are among the top concerns of people of using internet”.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Google & the Citizens Advice Bureau created a few tips to stay safe online: Always make sure to have a strong password. Try to always have a unique password to you that no one else will know. Using a long password will keep it safe. Try to always have a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols. Some people remember their password with a song or lyrics or a mixture of the two. When you get a suspicious email with personal information on it, go directly to the site: don't click on the link in the email. Unless you're expecting the email, it's probably not from them and is known as a "Phishing attack" that's trying to get your personal info and steal from you. Always look for 'https' in the URL. A website is running through a secure connection when it's through https. This will safeguard your emails, credit card numbers, and all other info from watching eyes. Just as you make sure not to leave your front door open, you need to make sure you're always signing out of your computer. Make sure to always sign out of social media accounts and all other accounts that you may have signed into. Try and only use safe networks that are secure. Internet cafes are nice but not always the safest place for you to be browsing the Internet. With all the apps out there, make sure that you always have the latest app. Make sure you trust all your apps and the sources your apps come from. Always lock and passcode lock your phone. Never store personal details on your phone because anyone could take it and have all your info. Two-step verification is a must if accounts offer it. This will make you or anyone else go through two different steps of verification to access your account – much like Facebook when you login. You have to login and then tell which computer you're logging in from, then it texts you. By doing this it will keep your account safe.

    I don't think that is fair. The employer has no right to be a part of their personal life. Although, they need to know about what they say on the internet. I would not want someone i don't know looking at my profile page.
  • mikaylaw on 19 Mar 12
     
    This is a good and a bad thing. It is a good thing because if someone is bad than you know not to hire them. it is a bad thing because people should not be judged on what their friends post. Just because their friends might post bad things does not mean that they are bad.
  • Austin R HDS on 19 Mar 12
     
    Well, for me the act of "shoulder surfing" is good as well bad. It is good because as an employer if I don't know the maybe future employee this would be good to base my opinion on whether or not to hire them. This also can be bad, as the future employee may have private conversation with his or her wife that they do not want anyone to see (this is just to give an example).
  • John H HDS on 19 Mar 12
     
    I guess i could understand why they have this. I personally like this idea in most ways, but not all. For example, its good for finding if the person your employing is a criminal, or someone bad. But its kind of bad because what if someone is not accepted because they were talking with a 'special someone' and the employers saw. That doesn't really seem fair to me, because that is your personal PERSONAL info, and no one else needs to see it besides you and who you are talking to. Unless of course its about something bad like planning something illegal. The main downside i see in this is maybe that person created a fake Facebook that looks all great and seems like they are a good person. Then a not-so-good person might have gotten a job that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I can't really decide if this is good or bad, but for now, I'm going to say it's bad.
  • Abby Boras on 19 Mar 12
     
    Well i think it is 50/50, because you have to be careful of what you put out there. And i don't think they should go on your friends facebook account to look at there posts and not yours! I also don't think they should judge you by your friends!
  • Brenna Edwards on 19 Mar 12
     
    I dont know exactly if this is fair or not. I can see where employers are coming from by wanting to see their possible employees facebook account, but i also think that a lot of the stuff that we may post may be completely personal while being completely innocent. everyone needs privacy and if they decide to do that through facebook then they have the right.
