  1. The Five Principles of Humanity and Digital Citizenship

  2. Jean Vanier • Son of a former Governor General of Canada • Invited adults with intellectual disabilities into his home which began the first L’Arch (the arch) community • Hundreds of these communities have been established around the world

  3. Jean Vanier • “Jean Vanier is internationally recognized for his compelling vision of what it means to live a fully human life and for his social and spiritual leadership in building a compassionate society.

  4. Vanier’s 5 Principles of Humanity Principle #1 All humans are sacred, whatever their culture, race or religion, whatever their capacities or in-capacities, and whatever their weaknesses or strengths may be. Each of us needs help to become all that we might be.

  5. PRINCIPLE #2Our world and our individual lives are in the process of evolving. It is a question of loving all the essential values of the past and reflecting on how they are to be lived in the new. These values include openness, love, wholeness, unity, peace, the human potential for healing andredemption, and, most important, the necessity of forgiveness.

  6. PRINCIPLE #3 Maturity comes through working with others, through dialogue, and through a sense of belonging and a searching together.

  7. PRINCIPLE #4 Human beings need to be encouraged to make choices, and to become responsible for their own lives and for the lives of others.

  8. PRINCIPLE #5 In order to make such choices, we need to reflect and to seek truth and meaning. To be human means to remain connected to our humanness and to reality, to choose to move toward connectedness. To be human is to accept ourselves just as we are, with our own history, and to accept others as they are.

  9. Digital Citizenship • “the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use” (Ribble, Bailey, & Ross, 2004, p. 7) • Sets the stage for how people work with each other in a global, digital society (Ribble, 2011)

  10. Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship Respect and Protect Yourself: Digital Well-being Digital Security: The precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal safety and the security of their networks. Do users take the time to protect their information while creating precautions to protect others’ data as well?

  11. Digital Rights and Responsibilities: The privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users and the behavioral expectations that come with them. Are users ready to protect the rights of others to defend their own digital rights?

  12. Digital Health and Wellness: The elements of physical and psychological well-being related to digital technology use. Do users consider the risks (both physical and psychological) when using digital technologies? How many hours do you spend online? How do you balance your lifestyle?

  13. Respect and Protect Others: Digital Interactions Digital Communication: Electronic exchange of information. Is there an understanding of the digital communication methods and when they are appropriate?

  14. Digital Etiquette: The standards of conduct expected by other digital technology users. Do users consider others when using digital technologies? Who sets these norms?

  15. Digital Access: Full electronic participation in society. Can all users participate in a digital society at acceptable levels if they choose? Can everyone afford to participate in a digital society?

  16. Respect and Protect Intellectual Property and other Property: Digital Preparedness Digital Law: The legal rights and restrictions governing technology use. Are users aware of laws (rules, policies) that govern the use of digital technologies? What are some digital laws?

  17. Digital Literacy: The capability to use digital technology and to know when and how to use it. Have users taken the time to learn about digital technologies? Do they share that knowledge with others?

  18. Digital Commerce: Electronic buying and selling of goods. Do users have the knowledge and protection to buy and sell in a digital world? How will I know if it’s a scam? Why should I avoid illegal or immoral goods and services?
