e-safety

This wikipedia def. is very limited: "Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology." Why do I say that? Because it deals only with consumption of information. The only thing new, here, is the means of distribution (digital or via the Internet). It disregards the other new aspects of media: both the source and the nature of the "information." In new media, content is not just consumed or downloaded but also shared and produced. As such, it has social or behavioral and multidirectional properties. So "consumers" are at least users and very often producers and need to "understand, evaluate, and analyze" or think critically about their own behavior - what is shared, produced, and uploaded as WELL as what's read, consumed, and downloaded. This is why I don't feel this definition works. This mainly refers to traditional media literacy.. So the final sentence of this paragraph - "A person using these skills to interact with society may be called a digital citizen" - is inaccurate. A digital citizen necessarily (for his/her own protection in many forms - phishers, false advertising, "predators," identity thieves, IP, etc. - also masters social literacy, now that media are social. Does that make sense?

Reputation is covered in this guide we wrote late last year as well as privacy and safety.
