2. Digital Access
• Full electronic participation in society
• Many people believe that everyone should
have equal access to education, health care,
libraries, etc. This carries over to the idea of
everyone being able to access the digital
world.
3. • Digital access includes having access to
technology – computers, cell phones, tablets, e-
readers, etc; high speed internet; wireless internet;
availability to access in homes, schools,
communities, and rural areas; access to new
technology; as well as access to education to learn
how to use technology.
• We all realize that there are many reasons
why
people may not have digital access, but we should
never give up on working to try to make digital
access possible for everyone.
4. Let’s take a few minutes to view a couple of
films:
“What is the Digital Divide”
and
“America Offline”
5. Digital Law
• As citizens of our city, state and country we are
expected to follow the law, the same idea applies
in the digital world
• We are responsible for our behavior and actions
online
• Stealing or damaging other people’s work,
identity, or property online is a crime
• We should avoid doing anything that would be
considered unethical when we are online
6. • Things that are unethical:
* Hacking into the information of others
* Stealing or using someone’s passwords
* Downloading music illegally
* Plagiarizing
* Creating worms, viruses or trojan horses
* Sending SPAM
* Stealing someone’s identity or property
7. Let’s look at 3 films pertaining to Digital
Law:
“Identity Theft: Phishing”
“Pests on Your PC – Viruses, Trojans and
Worms”
“Digital Law”
8. Digital Etiquette
• Sometimes called “Netiquette”
• We are all aware of appropriate behavior
and we recognize behavior when it is
inappropriate
• Many times we let people use digital
devices and we never talk to them or teach
them digital etiquette or the proper behavior
for navigating the digital world
9. What happens when people are
not taught the proper behavior for
using technology?
10. • When technology is not used appropriately,
in the proper place or at the proper time
-- create rules and regulations regarding
its use
-- it gets banned
How would this improve if Digital Etiquette is
taught to everyone and everyone follows it?
11. Watch this group of films:
