- 11. Protective measures? “I rememberthe first time a student sent me a Facebook friend request. In considering how to answer, I was not concerned about what he might learn about me. I am very conservative about what I share on Facebook and even personal comments are not very personal. Instead, I was concerned about what I might learn about him. Although I have not had a problem with students whose friend requests I have accepted, I am sure that most of my student friends are not aware that I am legally required to report certain incidents if they share them in an on-line post—even if they consider the post to be private or for “friends only.” “ Steven Berghttp://www.hastac.org/blogs/steven-l-berg/2013/08/04/high-cost-digital-illiteracy

Participants were clear that protecting children from accessing inappropriate or unsuitable content online is particularly important. While many saw this as the primary responsibility of parents, participants thought there was also a responsibility for both content service providers and government. In earlier research with parents, the majority preferred to receive cybersafety information from a government agency, or source it themselves through an internet search. Around one third of parents reported that a government agency or an internet search were their preferred first line source of cybersafety information.

- 16. What is yourdefinition of digital citizenship?
- 17. Digital citizenshipcan be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behaviour with regard to technology use. Or “The quality of habits, actions, and consumption patterns that impact the ecology of digital content and communities.” Or Digital Citizenship is the concept of educating students (and all technology users) about how to use technology appropriately. This involves using technology effectively and not misusing it to disadvantage others. Digital Citizenship consists of numerous themes including appropriate online etiquette, literacy in how digital technology works and how to use it, an understanding of ethics and the law as it relates to technology, knowing how to stay safe online, and advice on health issues relating to the use of technology. Or “Digital citizenship isn’t just about recognising and dealing with online hazards. It’s about building safe spaces and communities, understanding how to manage personal information, and about being internet savvy - using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same.” digizen.org

Purpose of DCfor learning Authentic learning needs a safe environment and trusting relationships Authentic learning is experiential learning located in settings that reflect complex real world problems. It is characterized by: Situated learning contexts within which the application of knowledge and skills may be demonstrated Tasks with ill defined real world problems Sustained investigation (i.e., time and effort) to arrive at solutions Scenarios with multiple roles and perspectives and where expert performances and processes are modeled (i.e., making tacit knowledge explicit) Collaborative activities to produce real world 'products' or 'performances' Reflective practice (as a basis for professional learning) Scaffolding and coaching at critical times. Assessment of authentic learning should be seamlessly integrated with a learning activity that is practical, realistic and challenging.http://otl.curtin.edu.au/teaching_learning_practice/student_centred/authentic.cf m

Editor's Notes
- #10 With rapidly evolving technologies and services, it is difficult to keep up with the implications, as well as the potential threats. Scams and online fraud are becoming more sophisticated – and target businesses as well as individuals. There is no ‘set and forget’ in developing consumer education. For example, recently the ACMA commissioned community research to explore Australians concerns and understanding of the risks associated with the use of location services – there is a vast array of commercial applications and tools which use people’s location to add value and provide tailored information or services to users. These services are growing in popularity, especially among smartphone users and there are currently few guidelines or consumer safeguards in place. Our research with location services users found that greater use of location services (either more often or accessing a wider range of services) does not equate to a greater understanding of these services, as shown in the slide. Interest in and understanding of personal information security was relatively low and appeared to remain static, despite increased time exposed to Location Services. At the same time, our quantitative research found there was considerable concern amongst users about data security and the security of personal information when accessing services. Ultimately, despite their concerns, the desire to obtain the Location Service outweighed the risks and any conditions attached to downloading the service.
- #20 The program is based on six domains and two cross-domain themes. It covers safety, security and the law, as well as positive online roles and relationships. These have been developed by the Department of Education and Training as part of the Digital Education Revolution – NSW.
