• awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital tools and facilities to identify, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, analyze and synthesize digital resources, construct new knowledge, create media expressions, and communicate with others, in the context of specific life situations, in order to enable constructive social action; and to reflect upon this process.[Martin, 2006]

• Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, utilize, share, and create content using information technologies and the Internet

• Digital literacy includes learning how to find, sort, evaluate, manage, and create information in digital forms. It is a crucial part of digital citizenship and an important extension of established concepts of media literacy. Digital literacy is essential for successful participation within a society connected by the World Wide Web.

• .Navigating the digital world safely,responsibly,and ethically
• .A safe, responsible,and ethical approach to functioning in the digital world

• The digital society is here, so what is digital citizenship? Just as we are citizens of a physical country, so are we citizens of the digital world. Just as we need to obey the laws, and not harm anyone, that same spirit exists in the digital world – and it impacts the physical world as well. The mean words and pictures that are posted online, can hurt people in their daily lives at school and in their community.
• But citizenship means more than behaving responsibly, it also means that we should be civically engaged: voting, keeping current and having our voice in political matters, and contributing to society. To this end, we need to get accurate information, and decide the verity of political messages that surround us. This same pro-active attitude and behavior also applies to the digital environment. Technology enables us to research significant social issues and to voice our opinions to a global audience

• Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.

  Definition - What does Digital Ident
•  

• Digital identity refers to the aspect of digital technology that is concerned with the mediation of people's experience of their own identity and the identity of other people and things. Digital identity also has another common usage as the digital representation of a set of claims made by one digital subject about itself or another digital subject.

• Digital Law is defined as the electronic responsibility for actions, deeds which is either ethical or unethical. Digital responsibility deals with the ethics of technology. Unethical use manifests itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society." It is basically about what you are and are not allowed to do while surfing and using the Internet

• The Legal rights and restrictions governing technology use

• Digital Law deals with society’s behaviour with using technology. On the internet, people get in trouble by the law or by their schools by doing the wrong thing online. Some examples of what digital law deals with are plagiarism, illegal downloading of music, hacking and creating worms or viruses. Plagiarism is the most common thing that teenagers usually do.

• The first concept Prensky describes is that of the Digital Native. The current generation of college students is the first to grow up immersed in technology. They have always had the Internet, laptops, cell phones with text messaging,AIM, Facebook™ or MySpace™, PlayStations™, digital cameras,DVDplayers, blogs, and any other number of digital technologies that allow them to instantly capture or communicate with their world. They use these tools as extensions of their bodies and minds, fluidly incorporating them into their daily routines (Prensky, 2005). They have learned the language of technology as they communicate instantly with their peers. These students, like all Natives, adapt quickly to changes in their environment and look for new ways to incorporate the latest technology into their fast-paced lives.

• orefront of technological progress, and want to be connected - wh
• enever they like, wherever they are. Digital natives are the generation born around the arrival of digital technology. They have used digital technologies since early childhood, naturally developing the skills to integrate them in their lives.

• The Digital Natives project focuses on the key legal, social, and political implications of a generation “born digital” – those who grow up immersed in digital technologies, for whom a life fully integrated with digital devices is the norm.

• In contrast, those not born in the digital world reveal   their non-native status through a "Digital Immigrant accent" that   manifests itself in a number of ways—printing out a digital document to   edit it rather than editing it online, for example (Prensky, 2001a, p. 4   [print]; ¶ 8 [online])

• Digital immigrants (like me) just never feel that comfortable with these technologies. Sure we may learn to adapt by using email, mobile phones (smart ones or dumb ones), Facebook, and so forth but it just doesn’t (and perhaps will never) be very natural for us. It is like learning a second language ... you can communicate but with some struggle.

• Ward Cunningham, the man behind the very first wiki, described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." But, while this sounds good rolling off the tongue, it is not very descriptive, and to be honest, not entirely accurate.
• A better description would be a wiki is the simplest collaborative content management system that could possibly work. Sounds complicated, huh?
