2012 Horizon Report - http://nmc.org
“Once banned from the classroom, mobile devices & apps have become
such compelling tools that schools are beginning to rethink standing policies,
and some are even beginning to implement ‘bring your own device’(BYOD) programs.”
digital identity
Dad
in the pastthe way in which we
mediated our identities wasselective, closed, & controlled
“The average digital birth of children happens at about 6 months.”

of digital profile or footprint.”

“the song intentionally lacked a copyright so that people would be encouraged to create their
own online parodies, in essence their own "XYZ Style"”
What’s your background in video
editing?
I just do it for fun. I’m self-taught.
How long did it take to film and edit?
I started in November, but then I had to start from scratch a couple months
afterwards, so I spent months and months on it.
“...for all the money, tax revenue and intelligence that Western governments have at their disposal (they) seemingly cannot get their heads around a simple enough concept that wherever one
is, someone is watching and recording.”

remix culture + identity
“In July 2003, the student’s family filed a $250,000 lawsuit against the family of four of his schoolmates.
The lawsuit stated in part that he “had to endure, and still endures today, harassment and derision from his
high-school mates and from the public at large.”
how information flows
“Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility
of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute and hating
the work.”
“parents spotted Facebook comments she wrote describing
students as ‘germ bags’ and parents as ‘snobby’ and arrogant.”
offline conduct too ...

The three main reasons why people were not hired after their profile was checked were:
• Candidate posted provocative or inappropriate photographs or information – 53 percent
• Candidate posted content about them drinking or using drugs – 44 percent
• Candidate bad-mouthed their previous employer, co-workers or clients – 35 percent
But Social network profiles have helped candidates as well...

Human Connections
My best attempt, I only removed the tubing, left colors and levels alone. I am sorry for your loss.
I color corrected the skintones a bit as well.
minor lighting, a 6 x 4 crop for printing in standard size &
removed some of the background.

Fixed the
chair
Sorry for the late help. I went for simplicity. Enjoy - and I hope you remember her well.
“Martha shows every facet of great learning: real world change, making the environment around her better,
sharing her thinking with the world, having a conscious for the world beyond her immediate horizons, and
robustness in the face of incredible media and social media pressure.” (McIntosh, 2012)

learning in the open
“Chris Avenir is fighting charges of academic misconduct for helping
run an online chemistry study group via Facebook ... where 146
classmates swapped tips on homework questions that counted
for 10 percent of their mark.”
http://www.thestar.com/parentcentral/education/post-secondary/article/309855--student-faces-facebook-consequences
“Our academic misconduct code says that if work is to be done individually
and students collaborate, that’s cheating, whether it’s by Facebook, fax or mimeograph.” (James Norrie)
http://www.thestar.com/parentcentral/education/post-secondary/article/309855--student-faces-facebook-consequences
“But if this kind of help is cheating, then so is tutoring and all the
mentoring programs the university runs and the discussions we do in
tutorials” (Chris Avenir)

Social Learning
“To answer your question, I did use Youtube to learn how to dance. I
consider it my ‘main’ teacher.”
“10 years ago, street dance was very exclusive, especially rare dances like popping
(the one I teach and do). You either had to learn it from a friend that knew it or get VHS
tapes which were hard to get. Now with Youtube, anyone, anywhere in the world can
learn previously ‘exclusive’ dance styles.”

conclusion
“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)
1. What role should schools/districts play in the development of student digital identities and
networked literacies?
2. To help prevent tragic stories like Amanda Todd’s, what could schools/districts do differently in
educating students & parents about digital identity, social media, & information literacy?
3. How can schools/districts in Alberta, along with national/international partnerships, address the
challenges of digital citizenship in innovative ways?
