Editor's Notes
- #9 Hands up if you’ve ever searched your own name online?We interviewed students on UBC’s campus and asked what we’d find out about them online. This video is on the home page of our website tutorial and it offersa good reflection of the typical responses we get in our UBC student workshops. I think it’s interesting to note that in general the older students either have no idea what’s out there about them or have given up trying to manage their online identity while most of the younger ones are aware and actively managing what they do online.
- #10 Here’s what you might find out if you searched my name…Mostly to do with my work for DT.2nd one is classic racy Facebook photo of someone else with the same name. Does it matter? Can I defend this? As a future graduate in search of work, should I be concerned about this? Would someone mistake this for me?Last one is my academic work from an online course I took. If we ask students to publish their academic work online does this have long-term consequences (good or bad)? Is this work recognized/judged as part of a learning process?Managing an online identity is beginning to sound like something pretty complex for kids don’t you think?
- #12 In the past, the goal of education was to provide young people with the knowledge and skills to make sense of their world. That world now includes a digital realm. You’ve likely all heard of Bloom’s Taxonomy as a model for moving students toward higher thinking skills.Take a minute and try to imagine how digital literacy skills might fit into this hierarchy. Analyzing and EvaluatingI’d like to focus on the top three higher learning skills in particular. If we think about using the internet for learning, for example, research indicates that students are increasingly turning to Google before books. That said, according to research from “Young Canadians in a Wired World” the majority of youth admit that the information they find online and the marks they get are not necessarily better than when they use print materials.1Interestingly, “when students are asked what Internet-related subjects they would like to learn about in school, the top choice?“How to tell if information you find on the Net is true or not.” 2[If I can give a plug the library for a minute, this would be a great time to remind yourselves that this is the ideal place to getauthenticated online information and access the best authoritative content.1Young Canadians in a Wired World - Phase II | Key Findings. (2005). ERIN Research. Media Awareness Network . Retrieved August 17, 2011, from http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/research/YCWW/phaseII/key_findings.cfm2 Ibid.
- #13 That leaves creating, at the top of Bloom’s pyramid toward higher level skills.Well here’s a few terms for new literacies in an increasingly participatory and digital culture. Note that many of these involve:-social skills-collaboration-networkingDo these sound like skills you have? You might like to have?
- #26 Social networking is great, just think about your level of desired privacy now and for the future. Take measures to safeguard it.
- #27 With freedom of expression comes responsibility. We need to take responsibility for the content we contribute online.Earlier this year Trend Micro held a competition to create a video educating people about staying safe and secure online and using the Internet responsibly. The Grand Prize Winner was “Where Are You?” by Mark C. Eshleman and featuring Tyler JosephAbout this video: The internet has such a big impact on young people and if we were going to make a powerful video, we wanted to tackle what seemed to be the biggest issue: being a good online citizen. We wanted to reach out with a positive message and do it in a creative way. We can only hope that "Where Are You?" will make someone rethink their online life.
