Digital Citizenship &
  Media Literacy
     Dr. Alec Couros
“Digital citizenship isn’t just about recognizing
    and dealing with online hazards. It’s about
       building safe spaces & communities,
     understanding how to manage personal
 information, and about being Internet savvy -
  using your online presence to grow & shape
      your world in a safe, creative way, and
   inspiring others to do the same.” (Digizen)
What are the big changes in media?

Youtube TOS or Rap Video Tutorial?
Is it ever possible to filter ‘offensive content’?

 Do our attempts at control do more harm
               than good?

  What is the role of schools in preparing
             (digital) citizens?
Misinformation,
Scams, Hoaxes.
Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
Swiss Spaghetti Harvest
The evaluation of web sources often employ
 the following criteria: authority, currency,
       accuracy, objectivity, coverage.

What are the limitations of these criteria with
regards to the emerging flow of information?
Viral Videos/Memes
http://mediagirl.org/node/1535
A meme is “a cultural unit (an idea or value or
pattern of behavior) passed on from one person to
 another by non-genetic means (as by imitation).”

  Is the understanding of memes and how
knowledge spreads in our society important?
And, how may it apply to the development and
     understanding of digital citizenship?
Safety & Cyberbullying
http://www.famouspictures.org/mag/index.php?title=Star_Wars_Kid
•Sexual predation on minors is a concern, is a
phenomenon that existed before the Internet,
but is overhyped by the media.
•Bullying/harrassment most frequent threats
faced by minors both online & offline.
•Internet increases availability of problematic
content but does not always increase minors’
exposure.
•Risk profile & factors for minors made up of
many psychosocial factors including family
dynamics.
Hate, Racism,Violence
2008
“Some of the comments on
           Youtube make you weep for the
            future of humanity, just for the
             spelling alone, never mind the
             obscenity and naked hatred.”
@leverus
                     (Lev Grossman)
How should educators ‘deal with’ hate &
racism on Internet & social media sites?
Social Network Services
Social Network Services are not going away
anytime soon. How should school districts and
classrooms approach better understanding and
     utilizing these services with students?

     What are the vital components of
   understanding when ‘dealing with’ social
     networking services in education?
Civic/Political/Cultural
     Engagement
We are entering a period of ubiquitous access
  to technology & many available social tools.
   How do we proceed into the knowledge
economy without better understanding media?

   How do we continue the conversation?

  1. This cover has been called the most controversial of all time. The related article concerned the “death of god movement” that had sprung up in the 1960’s. The cover and article enraged readers. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/09/the-most-controversial-magazine-covers-of-all-time/

  10. On April 1, 1957 the British news show Panorama broadcast a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. The success of the crop was attributed both to an unusually mild winter and to the "virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil." The audience heard Richard Dimbleby, the show's highly respected anchor, discussing the details of the spaghetti crop as they watched video footage of a Swiss family pulling pasta off spaghetti trees and placing it into baskets. The segment concluded with the assurance that, "For those who love this dish, there's nothing like real, home-grown spaghetti." The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, "Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." To this day the Panorama broadcast remains one of the most famous and popular April Fool's Day hoaxes of all time. It is also believed to be the first time the medium of television was used to stage an April Fool's Day hoax.
  11. The Surgeon’s Photo, taken in 1933, finally found to be a hoax in 1984 (British Journal of Photography), finally a confession in 1994 that it was nothing more than a toy submarine fitted with the head of a sea monster.

  16. How many people have watched this video “David After the Dentist”, a seven year old boy coming home from the Dentist after some anesthetic. Something like 21 milllion people have now viewed this clip, and there have various remixes. And there are certainly some issues of what we share online, how it quickly goes out of our control. This is something all of us must understand.
