  • Not surprisingly, the study found that children are communicating with friends, peers, and others online in ways that show a lack of knowledge in what is ethical, safe behavior.

      This is NOT suprising to those of us who work with children. WE MUST have digital citizenship education in schools!!! MUST!
  • Only 50% of these young children said that their parents watched them as they used a computer, revealing that the other half were exposed to unchecked Web browsing and interaction with others online. About 48% of these young children saw online content that made them feel uncomfortable, and one in four of them said they did not report the uncomfortable experience to a trusted adult.

      Do parents know to watch their children? We need to educate parents as well!
  • it is more common for children to run into problems with people they know online than with strangers. These troublemakers are more likely to be other students rather than adults.

  • CHILDREN in Bahrain are to get 'driving lessons' - in cyber-space. They are to be taught how to navigate their way around the electronic world of computers and the Internet under a GCC-wide scheme. Children aged up to 12 in schools across the country are to be included in the free International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) digital literacy certification scheme. The scheme's governing body, the ICDL GCC Foundation, is offfering free ICDL certification to thousands of children across the region. The initiative, which started in September this year, aims to develop computer literacy at an early age, to prepare Arab youngsters to use information technology as a tool for education.

  • "Among younger people, so much has the habit grown up of downloading copyright material from the internet that a claim of entitlement seems to have arisen to have what is not theirs for free."
  • UK's Digital Economy Act - that internet access is a 'fundamental human right', and that copyright enforcement infringes privacy.

    For many users of Facebook, the world's largest social network, it was just the latest in a string of frustrations. Related On Wednesday, users discovered a Facebook glitch that gave them access to supposedly private information in the accounts of their friends, like chat conversations.

    Is private data in Facebook actually safe? Perhaps not. Making use of the privacy settings properly would be part of digital literacy as well as safety.

  • 1. Communication with your daughter or son is key. Build a trusting relationship through dialogue.
  • 2. Create an account to understand how the site works, but not to stalk your kids. They need room to explore, but if you are familiar with the media and technology that they consume, you can provide valuable guidance and suggestions. Surveillance, while possible, damages a trusting parent/child relationship.
  • 3. Ask your kids how they choose to represent themselves and why. Use MySpace as a resource to start a conversation about contemporary fashion, ideals, and media images.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • 4. Talk about private/ public issues with your kids. Help them to understand the consequences of making certain information publicly accessible. Get them to think through all of the possible audiences who might come into contact with their online information
  • 5. Talk through what kids should do if they receive unwanted attention online or if they find themselves the victims of cyberbullying. A growing number of sites provide useful information about how to confront such problems, including Net Family News , NetSmartz and SafeTeens.

    "Because being connected is such an integral part of teens’ lives, some youth may hesitate telling their parents about the harassment they encounter for fear that their online privileges will be taken away. The best way to combat cyber bullying or other forms of harassment is not to reign in or limit a teen’s use of technology, but to make sure adults keep the lines of communication open. In addition to keeping the computer in a public space, parents should also become more aware of what their children are doing online. They should consider the Internet as an opportunity to engage in conversation with their children about their interests, talents, and network of friends. It is important to emphasize with youth that there is a distinct connection between what happens online and in the "real world." Adults should communicate to youth that their actions have implications in a real world setting. Regarding cyber bullying in particular, adults must also relay traditional techniques of combating bullying, among them being to report incidents, keep records, and not to engage the bully. “It’s not new bullying, it’s just a vehicle,” says Nancy Mullin-Rindler, director of the Project on Teasing and Bullying at Wellesley College (Paulson, 2003). In addition, because research has shown that the majority of cyber bullies have been victims of traditional bullying, this approach—-combating the behavior versus limiting the technology—-would ultimately help in preventing both cyber and conventional bullying. Cyber bullying poses a stickier problem for schools that are finding themselves in the middle of First Amendment debates. Despite the fact that whatever happens online (no matter where the location) typically spreads to the school environment, inevitably impacting students’ learning, does a school principal have the right to punish someone for what they say outside of school parameters? Because of this legal quagmire, schools’

  • Managing these virtual classrooms can be quite difficult
  • Baab advises teachers of virtual classes to be very consistent. “Set up a structure and stick with it,” she says. “Maybe it’s creative and colorful to change things every day, but then a student has to learn their ‘classroom’ all over again.”

  • Human beings live more and more in the virtual world, through digital accounts, for playing games, e-mailing, building community, social networking, and even for commerce. As commerce grows, and the billions of potential 3rd world users start entering this commercial marketplace, an entirely new economy will develop in the Virtual World. This new era, is called the Information Age.

  • For some, the amplification is intense. Allison Miller, 14, sends and receives 27,000 texts in a month, her fingers clicking at a blistering pace as she carries on as many as seven text conversations at a time. She texts between classes, at the moment soccer practice ends, while being driven to and from school and, often, while studying. Most of the exchanges are little more than quick greetings, but they can get more in-depth, like “if someone tells you about a drama going on with someone,” Allison said. “I can text one person while talking on the phone to someone else.” But this proficiency comes at a cost: she blames multitasking for the three B’s on her recent progress report.
  • “I’ll be reading a book for homework and I’ll get a text message and pause my reading and put down the book, pick up the phone to reply to the text message, and then 20 minutes later realize, ‘Oh, I forgot to do my homework.’ ”

    People don't realize how texting so much can affect your life.
