Digital Literacy
the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate and create information using a range of digital technologies.

-
Dr. Waverman summed up the findings on digital literacy...and I quote from the Globe and Mail...
"Digital literacy is not simply using a smartphone or typing on a computer. It really is a mindset. Are businesses of all sizes using technology to its fullest extent? Are they restructuring to take account of the digital way of doing things? Are their products web-en

abled in the proper way," he stated..."Canada's gap in digital literacy is tied to its poor productivity performance.

In this frame, I would suggest that "literacy" is a concept that responds to the problems print technologies pose as mechanisms of communication. Here we remediate, I suppose, the concept of literacy as "digital media literacy" in response to the problem of understanding how assemblages of/including di

Computers have provided an entirely new medium for literacy (reading and writing). Digital literacy has led to great increases in information that can be conveniently and quickly accessed and facilitates the collaboration and sharing of knowledge.

-
Digital citizenship is usually defined as the "norms of behavior with regard to technology use." It encompasses digital literacy, ethics, etiquette, online safety, norms, rights, culture and more. Microsoft recognizes that good digital citizenship, when you use computers, gaming consoles, or mobile devices, promotes a safer online environment for all.

Wake up and smell the silicon: From smartphones and apps to computers and social networks, technology has permanently invaded kids’ lives, much to the benefit of parents and educators.
-
As transformative a force for good as technology and social media can be, fixating on sensationalized danger isn’t the way forward, nor is attempting to halt the spread of these highly beneficial innovations. But we must take measures to keep pace with progress’ steady — and suddenly bewilderingly fast — advancement. We owe it to ourselves to better prepare parents and kids to greet the many positives and challenges the connected life brings, even if it means our kids have to scold us someday for committing the (hopefully by-then archaic) faux pas of posting embarrassing baby photos of them to our Facebook profiles.

Good digital citizens don't engage in cyberbullying, they might tell you. They don't give out too much personal information, and they don't post crazy videos on YouTube that will come back to haunt them in future job interviews.
-
"so that we're talking about young people as producers and managers of information and perspectives, and not simply as people we need to keep safe and civil."

-
You can not teach appropriate digital citizenship if you can not model it. Period. Many schools do discourage it and of course, rightfully, discourage “friending” students. But the bottom line is this ~ we can’t teach them if we can’t reach them.

Digital Identity
a set of data that uniquely describes a person or a thing (sometimes referred to as subject or entity) and contains information about the subject's relationships to other entities.

Definition - What does Digital Identity mean?
A digital identity is an online or networked identity adopted or claimed in cyberspace by an individual, organization or electronic device. These users may also project more than one digital identity through multiple communities. In terms of digital identity management, key areas of concern are security and privacy.
-
A digital identity is linked to one or more digital identifiers, like an email address, URL or domain name. Because identity theft is rampant on the Web, digital identity authentication and validation measures are critical to ensuring Web and network infrastructure security in the public and private sectors.Posted by: Cory Janssen

-
Digital Identity has been described as “the sum of all digitally available information about an individual.”
-
With an ever-increasing number of choices for connecting, consuming and sharing information your Digital Identity is arguably your most important asset and it creates new problems and exciting new opportunities.
-

-
For organizations, the opportunities digital identity presents are enormous. Applications that leverage personal data can boost efficiency, help focus research and marketing efforts, and spur the creation of personalized products and services that, in turn, spur revenues.

-
The digital expression of identity grows increasingly complex every day. Not long ago, an employee’s entire digital presence belonged almost exclusively to the employer, a practice that culminated in the mainframe ID.

Leaders today, both in government and industry, have a growing recognition that managing security is about managing risk. Every month, their digital-age organizations face billions of attacks from infiltrators seeking to manipulate, steal, deface or shut-down networks. The threats are increasing exponentially, as are the vulnerabilities. Every organization should assume that its network has or will be compromised.

Digital Security
protection of a computer's internet account and files from intrusion by an outside user.
-
-
Human rights defenders are increasingly using computers and the Internet in their work. Although access to technology is still a huge issue around the world, electronic means of storing and communicating information are getting more and more common in human rights organisations. However, governments are also developing the capacity to manipulate, monitor and subvert electronic information.

Digital Safety and Security (self-protection): this issue relates to a person's well-being and safety online, technically meaning on the computer and on the internet. Also what precautions could be taken to prevent one from any possible dangers on the internet.
-
-
-
Information security poses unique challenges. It’s hard, for one, to detect an attack on your data. If someone steals your wallet, you’ll know it. If someone successfully copies your hard drive (say by scanning it while you wait in another room at a customs checkpoint) you may never know.
-
What does this mean? Your emphasis should be on simplicity. There’s no point in surrounding yourself with computer security that you don’t use, or that fails to address a weaker link elsewhere. Take advantage of what you know well: the people who are most likely to take offense or otherwise target your work, and what they may be seeking to obtain or disrupt.

It is clear that our nation’s focus on performance (Race to the Top), on achievement and on testing does not necessarily mean that children are engaged in learning. This lack of engagement in learning is a huge problem for young people themselves, for their future employers and for our society as a whole.

Critical thinking is a has many benefits and specific characteristics, and it directly impacts decision making. Critical thinking is important when making decisions and training yourself to think critically will increase your success and happiness in life.
-
Critical thinkers are humble enough to know their limitations. Critical thinkers are also empathetic enough to understand the impact of their decisions on others and courageous enough to trust their own reasoning skills.

Though most teachers aspire to make critical thinking a primary objective of their instruction, most also do not realize that, to develop as thinkers, students must pass through stages of development in critical thinking. That is, most teachers are unaware of the levels of intellectual development that people go through as they improve as thinkers. We believe that significant gains in the intellectual quality of student work will not be achieved except to the degree that teachers recognize that skilled critical thinking develops, only when properly cultivated, and only through predictable stages.
