Digital Citizenship: Metadata Made Simple

Digital Citizenship: Metadata Made Simple | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Talking to our learners about digital citizenship requires us continually to revise and update our messages. We tell our students constantly that we are not cops here at school to block their access online, but rather we are here to educate them about using it."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Teaching digital citizenship is not as simple as we think. This year with information being released about the NSA and their actions a new layer was added.

Several weeks ago The Guardian released a short video, The NSA and Surveillance Made Simple, that helps to explain what it means when metadata is collected (and explains what the metadata is) and how this may impact privacy.
