One of the neat things about web annotation and Hypothesis in particular is the ability of the annotator to include links, images, and videos in their annotations. We'd argue annotations simply look better when they are more media rich in this way. But it's also true that links and images/videos can help your arguments be more persuasive. Links Inserting links (always good to support your claims or provide further information in an annotation) is pretty straightforward using hypothes.is.
Copy a URL that you want to link to: Back in hypothes.is, select the text you want to link elsewhere and click on the link button. Hypothes.is drops some markdown (a very basic computer language) into your annotation, but you can ignore that. Now paste the link in and save and your annotation will contain a hyperlink in red underlined text: Images This is what the button looks like for adding and image: You'll need a URL or web address for the image to insert it into an annotation. Works for .GIF too! Videos. What is a Global Digital Citizen and Why Does the World Need Them? One of the questions we’re asked most often is “what is a Global Digital Citizen?” Being a Global Digital Citizen is about more than just being a citizen of Earth. These are leaders, learners, and creators. It’s a way of living well in a world that’s changing fast, and showing others how to do the same.

My Advanced Teaching with Technology students, who are teachers, are starting their own blog. As I guide them through becoming bloggers, I have been reminded of how distinct blogging is from academic writing. I’m writing this post to support my students, as well as other educators venturing into blogging. The fact is, making a blog is simple but, in the era of knowledge abundance, enticing people to read your posts is not so easy. Our mobile era places each of us in an endless stream of digital resources. Be meaningful. What tips would you add to this list? The Educator’s Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons.

With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online. This post was originally written by Ronnie Burt, on the Edublogger, on Feb, 2012. It’s been re-written with content and comments from the original post combined with updated content by Sue Waters.

Anyone using the internet should understand how good citizenship values apply online and NetSafe works with educators and families alike to help develop skills and knowledge around this concept. We have defined a successful digital citizen as someone who: It would be easy to think of Digital literacy as just another set of skills or knowledge that we need to learn, but it is significantly more than that. “Being digitally literate is not just learning about or even with digital technologies, but is being able to participate fully in a digitally-enabled [society]” Practical skills associated with digital literacy could include knowing: People can and do post things online which are untrue or extremely biased.
