Dr. Jason Ohler http://www.jasonohler.com/index.cfm “what it means to be a citizen in the Digital Age” Cable in the Classroom Digital Citizenship is a holistic and positive approach to helping children learn how to be safe and secure, as well as smart and effective participants in a digital world. That means helping them understand their rights and responsibilities, recognize the benefits and risks, and realize the personal and ethical implications of their actions.
My Definition: The norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.
Three Broad Areas R Respect Yourself and Others E Educate Yourself and Others P Protect Yourself and Others
Respect Yourself and Others Digital Etiquette: the standards of conduct expected by other digital technology users. Digital Access: full electronic participation in society. Digital Law: the legal rights and restrictions governing technology use.
Protect Yourself and Others Digital Rights and Responsibilities: the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them Digital Security (self-protection): the precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal safety and the security of their network. Digital Health and Welfare: the elements of physical and psychological well-being related to digital technology use.
Educate Yourself and Others Digital Communication: electronic exchange of information. Digital Literacy: the capability to use digital technology and knowing when and how to use it. Digital Commerce: the buying and selling of goods online.

New Research – One Year in the Making http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/Teens-and-social-media.aspx
Results from Pew Report -More teens report positive interactions on social networking sites – 78% good vs 41% negative -Those with negative do report specific issues that result: 25% Had a face-to-face argument or confrontation as a result, 22% ended a friendship, 13% were nervous about going to school the next day. -90% witnessed online cruelty have ignored the behavior, while 80% defended the victim. -86% online and cell phone using teens have received general advice from parents, 70% received advice about Internet safety from teachers or adult at school, 45% received advice from friends or classmates. Another 18% said that “no-one” has influenced them.
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/ From Anne Collier’s Notes from the Sixth Annual IGF Meeting was held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30 September 2011 at the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON). “Asked how they’d rank ‘digital citizenship’ on a scale of 1 to 10 – with 10 representing ‘very relevant and meaningful’ – a youth panel from Egypt, the US, and UK ranging in age from 15 to 22 gave it a 1, two 3’s, a 5, a 6, and an 8.” “The British teen who gave it a 1 said it ‘sounds distant and abstract,’ and people shouldn’t distinguish between citizenship and digital citizenship anyway. Another UK teen said, ‘Maybe ‘participant’ is a better word than ‘citizen’.’ An American university graduate newly living in Nairobi gave it a 6 saying she hopes it’ll catch on but ‘it’s not relevant to our generation yet.’
To me, digital citizenship means…. -Being a good, thoughtful person online. -To me I think it means to use your technology responsibly. -I think digital citizenship is how you use your computer overall. If you mostly go on Skype or Facebook to chat, or if you go on youtube to watch videos, or even if you download stuff illegally. Digital citizenship is how you spend your day with the computer, do you do the right things or the wrong things? -I think digital citizenship basically means being good and responsible online, which includes tons of different things. They can be from not revealing personal information, to being nice to people instead of cyber bullying. It means being a part of a community where you get to know people that live in a different place/country than the one you live in. -To be a good citizen online and offline and to balance your time on an electronic device with your time you spend with family and friends. -To me, digital citizenship means to behave properly on the internet. Digital citizenship is basically general citizenship, although the only difference is that it’s online. It’s saying something over the internet that you would say face to face. Digital citizenship is being responsible for your actions online. -Being responsible, caring, sympathetic, and open minded for you actions online and what you write and considerate of other peoples feelings. As well as the amount of time you spend online. -Taking care of each other -Your reputation online and how you act online. -Being in a community and respecting each other on internet. -To be responsible and respectful online to other people, what they have created and what belongs to them. --Also to be aware of the consequences and dangers on the internet. to me, digital citizenship means to be a responsible and balanced user on online. …being an online member of the internet community and using the powers of the web responsibly. From Yokohama International School, Japan (Digital Citizenship Week Activities-May 2012)
Parents’ Pledge – From Raising a Digital Child 1. I will get to know the services and Web sites my child uses. If I don’t know how to use them, I will take the time to learn how. 2. I will teach my children to understand that other people do not have the same access to technology. I will demonstrate to my child that all technology users should be treated the same. 3. I will work with my child to understand the issues around online purchases. I will show my child which sites are safe and secure for buying goods online. I will also help to explain how to search and find the best deals online. 4. I promise to teach my child when and how to use digital communication methods. I understand that technology may not always be the best way to interact with others. 5. I will help everyone in our family to understand that our technology usage affects others. I will help my child to understand they need to act the way they want to be treated. 6. I will try to get to know my child’s “online friends” just as I try get to know his or her other friends. I will explain that to have rights online there are certain responsibilities as well. 7. I will teach my children that there are some material that is available online that is protected and cannot be taken without permission. Children need to understand that this material is owned by others and they have rights to be protected. 8. I will explain to my children when using technology they need to be at proper heights for their size to keep from causing physical harm. I will also make sure that my children have limits on the time they can use technology as not to become addicted to the technology. 9. I will spend time to teach my child to protect their technology and data by having adequate virus, spyware and adware software. I will also show that that having protection is important for all technology.
Digital Citizenship Mission As a technological society it is our responsibility to provide all users the opportunity to work, interact, and use technology without the interference, destruction, or obstruction by the actions of inappropriate users. As digital citizens we pledge to help create a society of users that strive to use technology appropriately. We will work with others to identify the needs of technology users and provide opportunities to make them effective.
Marshall McLuhan – The Medium is the Message Technology as Extensions of the Human Body: …various ways human beings extend themselves, and how these extensions affect our relationships with one another. An extension occurs when an individual or society makes or uses something in a way that extends the range of the human body and mind in a fashion that is new. Every extension of mankind, especially technological extensions, have the effect of amputating or modifying some other extension. The telephone extends the voice, but also amputates the art of penmanship gained through regular correspondence. http://www.leaderu.com/orgs/probe/docs/mcluhan.html
“Frankenstein Syndrome – One creates a machine for a particular and limited purpose. But once the machine is built, we discover – sometimes to our horror, … that it has ideas of its own.” According to Postman technology created childhood (the creation of the printing press) and technology is taking away childhood through the sharing of information with everyone and the lack of secrets to our children. His example was television about this eroding between childhood and adulthood but the same could be said about any digital technology today: First, it requires no instruction to understand its form Second, it does not make complex demands on either mind or behavior Third, it does not segregate its audience
http://www.lolomgbook.com/ 1st Question – “Why are you online?, What is the reason to have a Twitter or Facebook account?” 2nd Question – “Is now the right time?” 3rd Question – “Where is your line between public and private?” Why are actions like cyberbullying happening even after grade 12? 1.) Abstraction – it doesn’t feel “real” 2.) Invisible Impact – not aware of visual cues 3.) Shaming – very little recourse in the virtual world 4.) Anonymity – do not need to come face-to-face with other person 5.) It’s the Norm – “Everyone’s doing it”
My Belief… “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything!”
