63 Things Every Student Should Know In A Digital World by Terry Heick

ed note: this has been updated from a previous post


But in an increasingly connected and digital world, the things a student needs to know are indeed changing—fundamental human needs sometimes drastically redressed for an alien modern world. Just as salt allowed for the keeping of meats, the advent of antibiotics made deadly viruses and diseases simply inconvenient, and electricity completely altered when and where we slept and work and played, technology is again changing the kind of “stuff” a student needs to know.

You've Been Hacked! Explaining Cybersecurity to Students in an Interconnected Era

You've Been Hacked! Explaining Cybersecurity to Students in an Interconnected Era | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Computer hackers, also known as cybercriminals, are infiltrating our world with ever-increasing sophistication. It is critical that students understand both the benefits and risks of their devices — especially their smartphones. Educators have an important role to play in helping students understand and safely navigate an internet-connected world.

Students need to be aware of the online risks in today's age; need large elements of parent supervision with most online activities.

Children’s Rights in the Digital Age: A Download from Children Around the World | UNICEF Publications | UNICEF | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

How do children see their rights affected by digital media and tools? In July and August 2014, 148 children in 16 countries took part in workshops to discuss the opportunities and risks associated with digital media; these discussions – and the voices of the child participants of the workshops – are reflected in this report

Well worth reading for an insight into the minds and opions of kids/ teens growing up in a digitally connected world.

Be Internet Awesome - Google's New Internet Safety Curriculum | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Be Internet Awesome is Google's new Internet safety curriculum. I learned about it from Larry Ferlazzo and then spent some time exploring it myself. The Be Internet Awesome site features a game called Interland. The game is set in a virtual world that students navigate by correctly answering questions about Internet safety.

Growing up digital Taskforce | Children's Commissioner for England

Growing up digital Taskforce | Children's Commissioner for England | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Published on 4 January was: Children's Commisioner for England. (2017). Growing up Digital: A report from the Children's Commissioner's Growing Up Digital Taskforce. London: Children's Commisioner for England. http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/publications/growing-digital
This short (23 page) report proposes 3 innovations: "creation of a digital citizenship programme, to be compulsory in every school [age] 4-14"; simplifying the Terms and Conditions that service providers present to children (there is an example of such a simplification of the Instagram T&C - 17 pages is boiled down to 1 dense page); and the introduction of a Children's Digital Ombudsman.

When kids are skilled navigators of our networked world | NetFamilyNews.org

When kids are skilled navigators of our networked world | NetFamilyNews.org | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I predict that, when the discourse about youth & new media is less about fear and control and more about literacy, a learning renaissance will be unleashed.

 

 

We all – young people and everybody who works with them – are learning what that looks like: skilled navigation of a networked world. We’re also working out what the skills are, how to teach them and what kind of environment (home, school and media environment) support that learning.

As a society, we’ve only just begun working the problem. The first 15 or so years of the public discussion about youth Internet safety has been much more about protecting children from new media than about helping them learn to navigate it successfully (including safely).
