   The ability to understand and use information in multiple formats from a wide range of sources when it is presented via computers. 2
   A person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment… Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media, to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. 3

   

  Digital Literacy includes learning how to use technology’s tools. The list of digital tools is never ending. New releases make something that was new yesterday old today. Educators as well as students must thoughtfully determine which tools are essential to their digital literacy tool kit. Tool kit’s vary from one educator to another as they do from one student to another. Once you have mastered a particular tool, move on to another so you can increase your digital power.

   

  Students are wired to learn digitally.They come to us with handhelds practically attached to their limbs. Our obligation is to teach them to become responsible digital citizens as well as discerning users of everything the internet has to offer in our globally collaborative world. Pamela Ann Kirst states in a November 2013 Zanesville Times Recorder article “Accessing information takes a nanosecond; the assimilation of that information, the interpretation and application of it, are the skills we need today. Anyone with Internet skills can find the data; it’s the finder who can tell us why it’s important that gets recognized.”

• Digital literacy represents a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment, with “digital” meaning information represented in numeric form and primarily for use by a computer. Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media (text, sound, images), to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. According to Gilster,⁵ the most critical of these is the ability to make educated judgments about what we find online.

• 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.

• 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.
• In short, digital citizenship means the ability to use technology safely, responsibly, critically, and pro-actively to contribute to society.

• Well, first citizenship, which is formally defined as “the quality of an individual’s response to membership in a community.” This makes citizenship far more complex than a simple legal matter, but rather one that consists of self-knowledge, interaction, and intimate knowledge of a place, its people, and its cultural history.

   
• would be a good first crack at the definition.
• So digital citizenship is nearly the same thing–
• ”the quality of a response to membership in a digital community”
• “Self-monitored participation that reflects conscious interdependence with all (visible and less visible) community members”
•  “The quality of habits, actions, and consumption patterns that impact the ecology of digital content and communities.”

  A digital citizen is one who knows what is right and wrong, exhibits intelligent technology behavior, and makes good choices when using technology. To understand the complexity of digital citizenship and the issues of technology use, abuse, and misuse. Mark Ribble had identified nine elements that together make up digital citizenship, which can be grouped into three categories.

• Digital Citizenship is a concept which helps teachers, technology leaders and parents to understand what students/children/technology users should know to use technology appropriately.
• Digital Citizenship is more than just a teaching tool; it is a way to prepare students/technology users for a society full of technology. Digital citizenship is the norms of appropriate, responsible technology use.

• “a psychological identity that prevails in the domains of cyberspace, and is defined as a set of data that uniquely describes a person or a thing”
• “an electronic footprint of who a user is and what they have access to”

• A digital identity is a collection of information that relates to an individual, that is created and managed as a single unit in a network, and that is stored in electronic form.

• A digital identity system must serve several functions. First, authentication-ensuring that when a message purports to be from Alice, Alice sent it, not someone pretending to be Alice. Second, message integrity-providing certainty that when a message arrives from Alice, it is the same message that Alice sent, not modified en route in any way. Third, non-repudiation-ensuring the inability of Alice later to deny that she sent the message, and the inability of the recipient of Alice's message to deny that the message was received. Finally, establishing a digital identity architecture may have the beneficial side effect of facilitating confidentiality through encryption-the knowledge that no one besides Alice can read a message intended for her. For our analysis in this paper, a digital identity system must serve the first three functions, and may serve the fourth.
• E-mail addresses are currently the most widespread form of digital identity
• In many cyberspace contexts, passwords are used to verify a person's identity.

• Privacy may be defined as  the claim of individuals, groups or institutions to determine when, how and to  what extent information about them is communicated to others (Westin AF, Privacy and Freedom New York: Atheneum, 1967, page 7).

   

   
• Privacy issues relating to identity include the possible  appropriation of a person’s email identity and address.

• Many commentators have lamented that the meaning of “privacy” is vague and elusive. According to Professor Solove, we should understand privacy is an umbrella term for a group of related yet distinct things. Privacy is about respecting the desires of individuals where compatible with the aims of the larger community. Privacy is not just about what people expect but about what they desire. Privacy is not merely an individual right – it is an important component of any flourishing community.
