8 digital life skills all children need – and a plan for teaching them A generation ago, IT and digital media were niche skills. Today, they are a core competency necessary to succeed in most careers. That’s why digital skills are an essential part of a comprehensive education framework. What’s your DQ? The challenge for educators is to move beyond thinking of IT as a tool, or “IT-enabled education platforms”. Like IQ or EQ – which we use to measure someone’s general and emotional intelligence – an individual’s facility and command of digital media is a competence that can be measured. DQ can broadly be broken down into three levels: Level 1: Digital citizenship The ability to use digital technology and media in safe, responsible and effective ways Level 2: Digital creativity The ability to become a part of the digital ecosystem by co-creating new content and turning ideas into reality by using digital tools Level 3: Digital entrepreneurship The ability to use digital media and technologies to solve global challenges or to create new opportunities Share Written by
The Power of Educational Innovation: A Design Thinking approach to Digital Citizenship Design Thinking is a problem solving methodology used by people all over the world to come up with new ideas. Recently there has been a lot of discussion about how to integrate this approach into education. This summer I took two Online courses to learn more about the process. I am very interested in ways to use this approach in my own teaching. This fall I decided to apply this approach to my 7th grade Digital Citizenship unit which focuses on cyberbullying. It worked really well. Here is my lesson plan. Cyberbullying Design Thinking Activity (for 7th graders) Empathize Present the idea “How might we end Cyberbullying?” Define: Students share with the class what they learned about cyberbullying from their research. Ideate: Each group on chart paper brainstorms 100 ideas for solutions in 15 minutes.Post chart paper and all students look at all solutions.Each student has 5 post it notes and votes on the top 5 ideas they see (different color for each group).Groups pick one idea to work on.
Safer Internet Centre - Italia - Generazioni Connesse Come educare cittadini digitali: necessario un framework nazionale Che l’implementazione del digitale nei contesti educativi viaggi ad una diversa velocità rispetto alle capacità e agli strumenti che la scuola ha a disposizione per farsi istituzionalmente carico di una seria e sistematica educazione alle competenze digitali, è questione non di poco conto. La scuola sa bene che, al di là delle categorie in cui sono stati variamente ascritti i propri utenti – nativi digitali, net generation, generazione app, ecc. – bambini e adolescenti si muovono con sufficiente destrezza tecnica tra i numerosi dispositivi, ma non certo con competenza. Ne sono testimonianza i molti episodi con cui la scuola si scontra sempre più spesso, atti di piccola o grande pirateria informatica, uso scorretto dei canali di comunicazione, flaming e cyberbulling nei social. Sappiamo che il tema delle competenze di cittadinanza digitale è previsto tra le azioni imminenti del PNSD e si prova in questa sede a formulare alcune proposte operative:
Foia: ecco cosa devono sapere cittadini e giornalisti Roma - Da oggi, 23 dicembre 2016, chiunque può esercitare il nuovo diritto di accesso generalizzato ai dati e ai documenti delle pubbliche amministrazioni. Infatti, diviene finalmente applicabile una delle norme più importanti ed attese tra quelle introdotte nell’ambito della riforma della pubblica amministrazione del Governo Renzi: quella sul c.d. “FOIA”, acronimo inglese che sta per Freedom of information act. Il FOIA è, da tempo, legge in numerosi Paesi del mondo: ad esempio, il primo FOIA, quello svedese, risale al 1766, mentre la legge USA fu approvata nel 1966. Per consentire alle amministrazioni di adeguare i propri archivi e le proprie procedure, il legislatore ha previsto un termine di sei mesi per rendere davvero esercitabile questo diritto. E il termine scade proprio oggi, 23 di dicembre. Ma cittadini, imprese e giornalisti sono pronti per sfruttare le potenzialità di questo nuovo strumento di trasparenza? Ecco una breve guida per orientarsi. Il c.d. Quali sono le eccezioni?

Studies have found that the problem of cyberbullying in schools is on the increase (DFE, 2015).

L’educazione alla cittadinanza in Europa – Eurydice Italia Nel 2013, Anno europeo dei cittadini, non poteva mancare una pubblicazione dedicata alla cittadinanza; la rete Eurydice ha infatti predisposto già nel 2012 un rapporto dedicato a tale tematica. L’Unità italiana di Eurydice ha ‘ospitato’ la traduzione italiana di tale rapporto nell’ultimo numero della serie I Quaderni di Eurydice per contribuire alla diffusione delle politiche e delle pratiche educative europee nell’area dell’educazione alla cittadinanza. In particolare, i cinque capitoli della pubblicazione sono dedicati ad aspetti quali, ad esempio, la presenza dell’educazione alla cittadinanza nei curricoli europei, la partecipazione alla governance della scuola da parte di studenti e genitori, il coinvolgimento degli studenti nella vita civica, la valutazione dell’offerta di educazione alla cittadinanza e dei risultati degli studenti, la preparazione e il supporto offerto a insegnanti e capi di istituto in tale disciplina.
