promoting citizenship in the digital age

“Everyone has an internal compass, but adults need to teach children how to find and use it.” Ribble.

Just like in the offline world, no amount of effort to reduce potential risks to children will eliminate those risks completely. We cannot make the internet completely safe. Because of this, we must also build children’s resilience to the material to which they may be exposed so that they have the confidence and skills to navigate these new media waters more safely.
Executive Summary . Byron Review Children and New Technology. UK 2008

Digital Citizenship offers a way of navigating the digital worlds and provides a compass to deal with them responsibly.

living and learning in a digital world

'To teach our children this new citizenship, we need to fold their digital tools into the general flow of school. We need to not only help students learn to use these tools in smart, productive ways, but also help them place these tools in the larger context of building community, behaving responsibly, and imagining a healthy and productive future, both locally and globally."

Digital Literacy for Information

A problem-solving process for

exploring and questioning
defining an information need
creating a plan to locate relevant information
reading the medium
synthesizing information to create knowledge
applying insight to personal, social or global contexts to create wisdom
self-evaluating the process and the product

21st Century Literacies Literacies include: basic language, visual, spatial, historical, cultural, historical,information, political, news media, scientific, mathematical.	Today's readers become literate by learning to read the words and symbols in today's world and its antecedents. They analyze, compare, evaluate and interpret multiple representations from a variety of disciplines and subjects, including texts, photographs, artwork, and data.
Curriculum Collaboration Toolkit Effective teaching with technology matches the teacher's goals and the learner's characteristics and needs, with tools that enhance understanding.	Choose Best Search for Your Information Need The Internet is a great place to find information about your research topic, but with hundreds of search engines available, its often difficult to know which one to use.

Blooms Taxonomy of Digital Literacy. Author, Andrew Churches
This is an update to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy which attempts to account for the new behaviours and actions emerging as technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy accounts for many of the traditional classroom practices, behaviours and actions but does not account for the new processes and actions associated with Web 2.0 technologies and increasing ubiquitous personal and cloud computing.
Bloom's Digital Taxonomy isn't about the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. Outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and most importantly the quality of the process or product. For example. Bookmarking a resource is of no value if the resource is inappropriate or worthless.
