-
Digital Native
Digital Natives are people who are born in the digital world that we are in now, where we can access the internet which has unlimited amounts of information; connecting, informing, and entertaining people. They are completely comfortable with this digital environment because they grew up in it.
-
-

Multimodal Society
A mutimodal society means that the nature of that society has different modes of communicating with each other. The modalities can be perceived by many of the senses including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, etc. There are so many different ways to communicate now in the 21st century now that the internet is a big part of society.
-
-
IRA’s definition of multimodality emphasizes the increasingly digital nature of society’s modes of communicating. Combining a changing and expanding number of technological modes to communicate and comprehend is intrinsic to multimodality in the 21st century. Literacy today requires competence in engaging with, evaluating, and creating these texts online as well as through more traditional methods. This especially honors our tech-savvy students, while also asking that educators guide learning in digital spaces.

Memes
These are ideas that spread around in cultures and generations. Now that the internet has come along, people share memes globally through the internet community.
-
-
"an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3]
-
-
-
A meme is an idea that is passed on from one human generation to another. It's the cultural equivalent of a gene, the basic element of biological inheritance. The term was coined in 1976 by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins speculated that human beings have an adaptive mechanism that other species don't have. In addition to genetic inheritance with its possibilities and limitations, humans, said Dawkins, can pass their ideas from one generation to the next, allowing them to surmount challenges more flexibly and more quickly than through the longer process of genetic adaptation and selection.

-
-
A meme is a concept or behavior that spreads from person to person. Examples of memes include beliefs, fashions, stories, and phrases. In previous generations, memes typically spread within local cultures or social groups. However, now that the Internet has created a global community, memes can span countries and cultures across the world. Memes that are propogated online are called "Internet memes."

Wikis
Wikis are websites that supply large amounts of information that are connected to many hyperlinks that bring users to different pages with more information. Users of these wikis can change and create information on on them, and anybody can contribute to them.
-
-
A wiki is a website that can be easily created and can have a number of additional pages connected. Wikis are typically used to create a collaborative community or a webpage in which several users can access and change information within that site. Wikis are also used in a corporate setting, in a knowledge management system and even note taking.
-
-
-
A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. A great example of a large wiki is the Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia in many languages that anyone can edit. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super fast." I guess if you have thousands of users adding content to a Web site on a regular basis, the site could grow "super fast."

Social Networking
This is the expansion of one's social circle or contacts through connecting to individuals. People have done this for thousands of years and now it has expanded onto the internet where it is much easier to connect with people from long distances.
-
-
Social networking is the practice of expanding the number of one's business and/or social contacts by making connections through individuals. While social networking has gone on almost as long as societies themselves have existed, the unparalleled potential of the Internet to promote such connections is only now being fully recognized and exploited, through Web-based groups established for that purpose.

Ethics
Ethics mean ways of thinking about how to determine what is just and what is unjust. Societies may have different views and different kinds of ethics so ethics really depend on what they believe to be ethical or or not.
-
-
Ethics is two things. First, ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues. Ethics, for example, refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder, assault, slander, and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that enjoin virtues of honesty, compassion, and loyalty. And, ethical standards include standards relating to rights, such as the right to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to privacy. Such standards are adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-founded reasons.
Secondly, ethics refers to the study and development of one's ethical standards. As mentioned above, feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from what is ethical. So it is necessary to constantly examine one's standards to ensure that they are reasonable and well-founded. Ethics also means, then, the continuous effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly-based.

Independent Learning
This term means to me that it is a method that directly benefits the learner, taking matters into his/her own hands and thinking for themselves. The independent learner takes the responsibility of learning and acquiring knowledge on their own. This way of learning strengthens self-reliance.
-
-
Independent learning is a method or learning process where learners have ownership and control of their learning - they learn by their own actions and direct, regulate, and assess their own learning. The independent learner is able to set goals, make choices, and decisions about how to meet his learning needs, take responsibility for constructing and carrying out his own learning, monitor his progress toward achieving his learning goals, and self-assess the learning outcomes.
-
-
Disinformation
To me, disinformation means to falsely inform people in order to deceive them.
-
-
false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth
-
-
-
Disinformation isperhaps most usefully viewed as information that ismisleading, despite possibly being true, accurate, current,and/or complete.
-
-
-
Deliberately misleading information announced publicly or leaked by a government or especially by an intelligence agency in order to influence public opinion or the government in another nation: "He would be the unconscious channel for a piece of disinformation aimed at another country's intelligence service” ( Ken Follett).

Moral/Social Literacy
This term refers to the skills of recognizing one's audience and acknowledging all of the multiple perspective in one's work. Also it means to effectively communicate in an appropriate way to others with cultural norms in mind.
-
-
The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the fundamental elements of moral literacy. Moral literacy involves three basic components: ethics sensitivity; ethical reasoning skills; and moral imagination. It is the contention of the author that though math and reading literacy is highly valued by the American educational system, moral literacy is extremely undervalued and under-developed.
-
-
-
- The ability to make “socially productive decisions” (Arthur, et al)
- Successful interpersonal cooperation
- Collaboration and appropriate interactions
- Familiarity with cultural norms
-
-
-
Traditionally we have focused on teaching students and individuals to improve their ‘social skills’ ‘communication skills’ ‘organization skills’. But in today’s fast changing society we must move from a rigid definition of social skills as conversation skills to a broader understanding of Social Literacy: an individual’s ability to successfully and deliberately mediate their world as family members, workers, citizens and lifelong learners.
-
-
Privacy
Privacy means that an individual, group, or institution would like a limited amount of information or none at all revealed to people around them.
-
-
“Privacy is an individual’s right to determine what information they would like others to know about themselves; which people are permitted know that information; and the ability to determine when those people can access that information”.
-
-
-
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).
-
-
Collaborative Media
Collaborative Media is a term the refers to a group effort to create media that is outside of the traditional type of media. Like Digital Media.
-
-
Definition: “Collaborative media” is the term we use to refer to digital media that enables broad-range participation where the distinctions between production, consumption and design are dissolving. Read the open-access article Designing Collaborative Media: A Challenge for CHI? as an introduction to the concept.
-
-
Digital Rights and Responsibilities
This term means that digital citizens have certain rules to follow with this privilege they have of using the world wide web. They also have certain rights that protect them against fraud, identity theft, or copyright, etc.
