Digital Citizenship 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. Without a national digital education programme, command of and access to technology will be distributed unevenly, exacerbating inequality and hindering socio-economic mobility. 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 Level 3: Digital entrepreneurship Why are we neglecting digital citizenship? There is no need to wait. Share

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. Here is my lesson plan.

Digital Citizenship 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. Si tratta della norma che prevede un nuovo diritto: il diritto di chiunque di avere accesso ai dati e ai documenti detenuti dalla pubblica amministrazione. 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. Si tratta di un importante strumento di trasparenza che serve sia a stimolare il controllo diffuso sull’operato degli uffici pubblici sia a consentire la partecipazione dei cittadini. E il termine scade proprio oggi, 23 di dicembre. Ecco una breve guida per orientarsi.
