'FaceWash' app finds all the filth on your Facebook Timeline

What if a tagged photo comes back to haunt us? What if someone says something terrible in a comment? What if that new Graph Search feature unearths details we tried to forget? Well, there's a little Facebook app that searches through your Facebook Timeline, returning a list of posts with the naughty bits highlighted. The app that'll help you is called FaceWash — even though it doesn't appear to automate any clean-up — and it just takes a few clicks to use it.

While the list of terms FaceWash flags doesn't appear to be available, I've noticed that it seems to focus on foul language and words which could be considered sexual in nature. If you feel that the app missed something, there's also a search bar which you can use to check for whatever words you think might offend someone's sensibilities.

Understanding Digital Citizenship

I recently spent most of the day with Dean Shareski in Moose Jaw co-facilitating a couple of digital citizenship sessions. Here’s the wiki for the media literacy portion, in case you are interested. Since then, I’ve been thinking a lot about digital citizenship. I even dreamt I twitted about it last night (when Twitter is in my dreams, I know I need a break). Here is mostly what I have been thinking. To me, the current approaches to digital citizenship seem to leave out important meanings of the term citizenship. Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers and technology leaders understand what students should know to use technology appropriately.

This is as close to a definition that I can find on the site. So I explore the site a bit more, and there are “Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship“. So under “digital rights and responsibilities” it reads: Turning Students into Good Digital Citizens. 21st Century Literacy | In Print Turning Students into Good Digital Citizens Schools have always been charged with the task of producing good citizens.

Turning Students into Good Digital Citizens

But how has our definition of a "good citizen" changed over the ages? By John K. Waters04/09/12 Video Exclusive: Cultural anthropologist Michael Wesch at Kansas State University discusses the tools today's students need to be good digital citizens. In today's world of near-ubiquitous connectivity, in which ordinary people have almost instantaneous access to unlimited stores of information and the ability to interact with anyone, anywhere, anytime, what does it mean to be an effective citizen? Ask a K-12 educator these questions and chances are the answers will have something to do with teaching proper behavior and setting appropriate prohibitions. 'A Day-to-Day Skill Set' In his work, Kahne focuses on the connection between students' participation with digital media and their levels of civic engagement.
