Respect others and their opinions. Your colleagues come from various backgrounds as they come together. It is important to respect their feelings and opinions though they may differ from your own. Consider others’ privacy. Be wary of your discussion topics and how private or open they may be. Keep in mind that all private messaging of any form is considered copyrighted by the original author. Pick the right tone. Since we depend on written communication in ESCnet, it is especially important to choose the right words to get your meaning across. For example, sarcasm is harder to detect when you read the words rather than hearing them. Be forgiving. If someone states something that you find offensive, mention this directly to that person and notify our system administrators. Remember that the person contributing to the discussion might be new to this form of communication. Think before you hit the send button. Think carefully about the content of your messages and posts before contributing them. Once sent to the group or the recipient, there is no taking it back. Grammar and spelling errors reflect on you, and your audience might not be able to decode misspelled words or poorly constructed sentences. Brevity is best. Be as concise as possible when contributing anywhere in ESCnet. Your points might me missed if hidden in a flood of text. Stick to the point. Contributions to a discussion should stick to the subject deemed important by the group admin or discussion creator. Don’t waste others' time by going off on irrelevant tangents. Do not type in all caps. Typing in caps is considered shouting or screaming online. Various studies on the topic reflect that it is more difficult and takes longer to read text that is typed in all caps. Avoid frivolous email. Don’t forward jokes, "chain letters" or unimportant posts to colleagues in ESCnet without their permission. Not only does it fill up their screens, but it may offend people who do not share the same sense of humor.

Internet Safety Ask Questions The best form of Online Safety begins at home with you, the parent. We offer you the following tips to keep your child safe on the Internet. The best way to know what your child is doing online is to ask. Whether you ask other parents, an Internet-savvy friend, or your child about how they use the Internet asking the right questions will help you understand what your child is doing online so you can make sure they are making safe online choices. Questions to ask your child: What sites do you visit? What do you do on those sites? Why do you go to that site? How much time do you spend on the site? Did you have to register? What information did they ask for? What information did you give? Spend time surfing the Web with your child. This is a great way to learn about what types of interactions your child is having online, and with whom.
-
Communicate Once you have an idea of how your child uses the Internet and what is available to them, you can establish online guidelines and rules. Whether it's setting guidelines about which sites to visit or what's okay to do online, it is essential to clearly communicate the rules to your child. Speak often to your child about potential risks and what to do in various situations. Encourage your child to ask questions about situations they run into. Being aware of the risks your child faces, and communicating frequently with your child about these risks, will help develop their judgment and responsibility about Internet usage.
-
Safety Rules While the Internet offers amazing opportunities for entertainment, education, connectivity, and more, anyone who goes online should understand basic Online Safety. Teaching these basics to your children is essential. When asked by friends or strangers, online or offline, never share Account IDs and Passwords. Don't reveal any personal identity information in your Screen Names, such as your birthday, hobbies, hometown or school. In any information exchange, like e-mail or chat, never give any personal information about yourself or someone else. Don't share photos of yourself, your family, or your home with people you meet online. Never open e-mails that come from unknown sources DELETE them. If you receive mean or threatening comments online, don't respond. Log off and report the activity to your parents. Nothing you write on the Web is completely private. Be careful what you write and to whom. Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person. WHEN IN DOUBT: Always ask your parents for help. If you're not sure, log off.

Internet privacy is the desire or mandate of personal privacy concerning transactions or transmission of data via the Internet. It involves the exercise of control over the type and amount of information a person reveals about themself on the Internet and who may access such information. The term is often understood to mean universal Internet privacy, i.e. every user of the Internet possessing Internet privacy.

Privacy measures are provided on several social networking sites to try to provide their users with protection for their personal information. On Facebook for example privacy settings are available for all registered users. The settings available on Facebook include the ability to block certain individuals from seeing your profile, the ability to choose your "friends," and the ability to limit who has access to your pictures and videos. Privacy settings are also available on other social networking sites such as E-harmony and MySpace. It is the user's prerogative to apply such settings when providing personal information on the internet.

Impact of Media on Learning - 1 views

All forms of media- the newspaper, radio, television and the internet are equally important in imparting education
-
Media literacy or education does not only mean to be entertained by media but to learn something from it.

Media Literacy: "the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and communicate information in a variety of formats." —David Considine

Moreover, we have seen that a large number of people depend on the internet to collect information, read news, listen to music and download movies, play games and also for work. Newspaper, Radio, Television and the internet- all form part of the media and are important in imparting education. Media offers culture, sports, information, entertainment, current affairs and education.
-
Computer-based education has transformed the traditional offerings of distance learning.
-
The students can get a vast exposure to the pop-cultural references. They can get statistics and data from the news, which can be the basis for math and science learning. The teachers can also incorporate media analysis whenever the Internet, television or video are used in the classroom.
-
The first and foremost effect of media is definitely the accumulation of General knowledge, different dialects and cultures. Television boosts the social awareness of a child to a great extent. Sports channels develop the logical mindset of a child. Cartoon channels keep the children happy. News channels increase the vocabulary of the children and inform them about the positive and negative impacts on the society. It increases the concentration and retention power of a child, which benefits their studies to a great extent.
-
Children often learn certain things, which change their perspective towards life. For example, if they watch violent scenes on TV, their nature tends to be the same. There are many incidents where children try to imitate the super heroes and it results in death. Studies often get hampered and lapse of concentration occurs due to excessive watching of television. The advertisements shown in the media often captures the mood of the individuals. Generally, girls are very vulnerable and sensitive about their physical image. When an adolescent girl watches the ads that show unless we buy a product or carry the style statement or wash our hair with a specific shampoo and look smart like a slim model, we don’t get respect in the society or get a job.
-
This is really interesting: the negative effects of free and easy access to entertainment are presented alongside with the positive.

Digital Access is the topic that talks about how many people in the world have access to technology and internet.
-
Technology needs to be aware and support electronic access for everyone to create a foundation for Digital Citizenship. Digital exclusion of any kind does not enhance the growth of human beings in an electronic society. One gender should not have preferential treatment over another.
-
about how steps should be taken to let the electronic society grow, because of the many benefits that come with internet such as education. Education is better/worse in separate parts of the world, but if every single person in the world was granted access to the internet, there would be a much higher level of educated people, which will lead to a better future. There are less economically developed countries who don't have access to technology like we do. We need to work towards a future where anyone and everyone has access to the internet.

Safety and Security on the Internet - 0 views

Why Should I Worry About Security? The Internet is a global collection of Interconnected Networks that facilitate information exchange and computer connectivity. The Internet is comprised of many different computers, all of which fall into two categories: servers (also known as "hosts") and clients (also known as "guests") -- technically, everything on the Internet can be considered a "host," but for this discussion, we'll use "hosts" and "guests." Guest machines send bursts of computer data called "packets" which are analyzed by the server belonging to the guest's Internet service provider. If the data is located locally (on the ISP's machine), the ISP's server will return the packets. If the information sought is not local (on another machine), the ISP's server hands off the packets to a router, which then sends the packets to the server containing the information. Once the information is located, it is sent back to the guest machine. There are many different types of computers that fill these two categories: mainframes, minicomputers, PCs, Macintosh, Unix and others. Despite the many varieties of computers that combine to form the Internet, every computer connected to the Internet needs to be able to communicate with every other computer -- without this ability, there is no Internet. All of these computers are able to communicate because in a sense they can all speak the same language -- TCP/IP. TCP/IP actually isn't a language; it is in computer terms what is known as a "protocol." A protocol is simply a standard for transmitting and receiving bits of information. As long as all of the interconnected computers follow the same protocol, they can exchange information. Unfortunately, when data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet, every other computer in between has an opportunity to see what's being sent. This poses an obvious security problem.

Say you decide to purchase concert tickets on the Web. To do so, you need to fill out an electronic form with your name, address and credit card number. When you submit the form, your information passes from computer to computer on its way to the concert ticket web server. It is possible that someone could be watching the data passing through one of the computers that is in between your computer and the concert ticket server. No one knows how often this happens, but everyone concedes it is technically possible. And its also possible off the web, too -- E-mail can be captured (and read, if not encrypted), as can file transfers via unsecure FTP. If someone wanted to, it wouldn't be too difficult to connect a capture device to someone's phone line (assuming they use a modem to connect to the Internet) and steal an electronic copy of the data exchanged on the Internet. Even if you make your purchase on a secure web site supporting the latest security features, it has been recently shown that secure sites can cause Internet Explorer (and other browsers) to send sensitive information to a non-secure server in plain text format.
-
The point is, there are a lot of security issues related to a network such as the Internet. No FAQ could possibly cover them all. That is why this FAQ concentrates on Internet Explorer. Because there are millions of people who use Microsoft Windows family products, and because those millions have the ability to blend Internet Explorer with these products, the seriousness about security should be of paramount importance to everyone. Remember, software products are only as secure as the environment in which they operate.

What Security Features does Internet Explorer Have? Internet Explorer is a safe browser in many ways. The latest version of IE supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 2.0/3.0, Private Communication Technology (PCT) 1.0, CryptoAPI, and VeriSign certificates, and one version employs 128-bit encryption, one of the strongest forms of encryption that's commercially available for use over the Internet. To see if you have the 128-bit version of Internet Explorer, go to the Wells Fargo Bank site and take their browser test. "Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a Netscape-developed protocol submitted to the W3C working group on security for consideration as a standard security approach for World Wide Web browsers and servers on the Internet. SSL provides a security "handshake" that is used to initiate the TCP/IP connection. This handshake results in the client and server agreeing on the level of security they will use and fulfills any authentication requirements for the connection. Thereafter, SSL's only role is to encrypt and decrypt the byte stream of the application protocol being used (for example, HTTP). This means that all the information in both the HTTP request and the HTTP response are fully encrypted, including the URL the client is requesting, any submitted form contents (such as credit card numbers), any HTTP access authorization information (usernames and passwords), and all the data returned from the server to the client." -- Microsoft's IIS 1.0 Features Tour. It has been reported, however, that SSL has been cracked. Private Communication Technology (PCT) is a Microsoft-developed security protocol available in IE only. According to their Internet draft, "The Private Communication Technology (PCT) protocol is designed to provide privacy between two communicating applications (a client and a server), and to authenticate the server and (optionally) the client. PCT assumes a reliable transport protocol (e.g., TCP) for data transmission and reception. The PCT protocol is application protocol-independent. A "higher level" application protocol (e.g., HTTP, FTP, TELNET, etc.) can layer on top of the PCT protocol transparently. The PCT protocol begins with a handshake phase that negotiates an encryption algorithm and (symmetric) session key as well as authenticating a server to the client (and, optionally, vice versa), based on certified asymmetric public keys. Once transmission of application protocol data begins, all data is encrypted using the session key negotiated during the handshake." IE also supports server and client authentication by using digital certificates to identify users to web servers. In addition, IE supports code signing with Authenticode, which verifies that downloaded code has not been modified. For more information on Authenticode, visit Microsoft's Authenticode page or the excellent Authenticode FAQ page. CryptoAPI 1.0 provides the underlying security services for the Microsoft Internet Security Framework. CryptoAPI allows developers to integrate cryptography into their applications. Microsoft has given a great deal of thought to the issue of security and it products, and Internet Explorer 4.0 is no exception. From "Security Zones" to continued support and refinement of Authenticode, IE4 promises to be one of the safest browsers of all time. You can read all about the security available in IE 4 at http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie40/?/ie/ie40/features/ie-security.htm. Also, check out what Microsoft is doing to keep transactions private with IE 4.

What are "Cookies?" Cookies are small text files that are sent to web browsers by web servers. The main purpose of cookie files are to identify users and to present customized information based on personal preferences. Cookie files typically contain information such as your name (or username), password information, or ad-tracking information. There is a good body of literature on the Internet about cookies. Despite what you may have read or heard, most people, including myself, do not view cookies as any kind of a security threat. However, because of the way cookies work (e.g., a web server storing a text file on someone's hard drive), Microsoft (and other browser manufacturers) have built options into their browsers that notify users when cookies are being passed to them, and give the user an option to prevent the cookie from being accepted. I don't think this is a good idea. By rejecting cookies, your browser may not display the entire page or the site may not function as intended. The reality is that cookies are text files -- they cannot contain viruses or execute applications, they cannot search your hard drive for information or send it to web servers, and most of the information they contain is simple tracking information designed to effect better customer service.

WDIG'S Internet Safety Tips Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! Your online service will never ask for them, so neither should anyone else. Use only your log-in name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like your name, address, or phone number. Don't share photos of yourself, your family, or your home with people you meet online. Always delete unknown e-mail attachments without opening them. They can contain destructive viruses. If a person writes something that is mean or makes you feel uncomfortable, don't respond. Just log off and tell your parents, who can report it to your online service provider. Remember that nothing you write on the Web is completely private -- including e-mail. So be careful and think about what you type and who you tell. Not everyone is as nice, cute, and funny as they may sound online. Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person. WHEN IN DOUBT -- always ask your parents for help -- and just LOG OFF if you're not sure! You can always go back online later.

The topic that we choose to do is rights and responsibilities in digital citizenship. Rights and responsibilities are the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them. Digital rights and responsibilities are things like the right of copyright, and plagiarism. Also things like downloading music, movies and television shows being downloaded for free. Other issues include the use of the internet, especially at schools. Another issue is cell phones. Plagiarism means copying or using sites that are not properly cited, or giving credit to the author. This includes books, websites, magazines etc. It is a big problem in schools, and it is good to get away from it, and get used to it at younger ages. You must site the sites etc that you use to avoid plagiarism and trouble. Especially in higher grades like grade 11 and 12 and universities where it get very serious, such as getting kicked out of the school or university. Another big problem is the copyright of music, movies, and television shows. A lot of people download music for free on the internet and various programs, which is illegal and practically stealing. But some people do not understand how serious it is. What happens is that the artists that produce the song and etc do not get money for the songs that people are downloading straight off the internet for free. The issue of the use of computers in school is a problem, and people take advantage of the computers at school sometimes. For example people going on games etc, and other things that are not school related, or used for educational purposes. Even outside of school the internet is used inappropriately, and it is your responsibility to know what is appropriate and what is not. All these issues that we found affect the student in his/her everyday school life so we need to help them understand their responsibility towards these issues.
