A new study finds there is a significant disconnect between what kids do online and what their parents think they do. Is this just a new flavor of an old problem? Or is something else going on?

"This article, building on an extensive summary of the European-scale Experts’ Study on film literacy in Europe 2012, draws attention to two different conceptions of film education: as an (a) entitlement for all, a social good (akin to the entitlement to universal literacy) and as (b) an instrumental means of developing film consumers, or audiences. Based upon a large survey of film education across 32 European countries, the authors give the context of film literacy in Europe three perspectives: (1) The established practice of film educators across all sectors in the member states; (2) the wider arguments about film culture and its importance; and (3) the relation between film literacy and media literacy, especially in the context of the EC’s media literacy initiative. We also reflect at the end on the relation between film education and the affordances, limitations and misconceptions surrounding digital technologies."

Why is visual literacy more important now than ever before? "Considering the impact of imagery on the world (every two minutes the same number of photographs are said to be made as in the entire 19th century) everyone needs to be media literate—otherwise one is overwhelmed. As the common “front page” reporting on global events disappears that used to filter a hierarchy of issues and stories, we need help to weed through and understand what we are seeing."

"Baratunde Thurston, tackles this subject head-on in "I Have Left the Internet," his personal tale of a 25-day digital detox he took last winter. As he writes: "I love my devices and [digital] services, [and] I love being connected to the global hive mind. . . . but I am more aware of the price we pay: lack of depth, reduced accuracy, lower quality, impatience, selfishness, and mental exhaustion, to name but a few. In choosing to digitally enhance [our] lives, we risk not living them."
"En “Educar, entre la evasión y la utopía“, dice Ruiz Tarrago: “si bien la problemática de la “sociedad del conocimiento/de la ignorancia” por su naturaleza parece trascender el ámbito del sistema educativo, no se puede obviar el hecho que los conceptos y los mecanismos de la educación formal están en el epicentro de muchos desfases sociales. La incertidumbre de los tiempos actuales afecta de lleno a la función y al porvenir de unos sistemas educativos que fueron estructurados y universalizados en base a unos principios simples que los nuevos tiempos están erosionando profundamente: el control del espacio y de los flujos de información, la concepción gestionaria de la pedagogía (institucionalmente reducida a poco más que la gestión de la matriz profesor-materia-grupo-horario-aula) y la aplicación de mecanismos de acreditación del rendimiento académico que ritualizan y justifican todo el proceso, al tiempo que lo momifican”.
Wikipedia defines digital literacy as "the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used" (1-19-2011, 20:13). Along side this definition, digital literacy depends greatly on an individual's ability to adapt to the advancements in the technological world, with little to no instruction. As technology continues to advance, and more and more cultures become digitally literate, an ability to not only understand the medium, but also interact with it, becomes crucial.

"One of the «black holes» of academic research in Communication is the shallowness of reflections on the classic origins of Communication, its aims and points of entry. In this respect, the study of communicative processes on the Internet becomes particularly relevant (specifically the social networks processes) when observed from the classic rhetorical perspective. We focus on the use of persuasion strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) as well as the abundant use of rhetorical figures. Such parameters, along with the resources that emergent technologies offer, unleash creativity and afford humanist aspects to network communication. These give online platforms an extremely persuasive strength. Thus, we may speak of the network user of the 21st century as the new «Rhetorician». Our research on Facebook addresses the presence of rhetoric in online social network communication: the user of these platforms applies communicative strategies described by the Rhetoricians dating back to GrecoRoman antiquity. The methodology in this work (the study of three typified cases and the content analysis of conversations generated on Facebook walls) allows us to intertwine rhetoric and communication today, mediated by the emergence of online networks. We propose the retrieval of certain parameters of deep, critical thought to the benefit of a more human communication."

"We express strong concern over recent revelations of surveillance of internet and telephone communications of US and non-US nationals by the government of the United States of America and the fact that US authorities makes the results of that surveillance available to other governments such as the United Kingdom. Of equal concern is the indication of apparent complicity of some US-based Internet companies with global reach.1 These revelations suggest a blatant and systematic disregard for human rights as articulated in Articles 17 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), as well as Articles 12 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights".
Well I'll start by saying, actually no I don't think it is, but in my opinion it may well be better, because for me it has all the positives of Twitter and far fewer of the negatives.
