• digital literacy = digital tool knowledge + critical thinking + social engagement. Then it's worth knowing its main characteristics:

  • It supports and helps develop traditional literacies
  • It's a life-long practice
  • It's about skills, competencies and critical reflection on how these skills and competencies are applied
  • It's about social engagement

• Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use
• 7.   Digital Rights & Responsibilities:   those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world.
   Just as in the American Constitution where there is a Bill of Rights, there is a basic set of rights extended to every digital citizen. Digital citizens have the right to privacy, free speech, etc. Basic digital rights must be addressed, discussed, and understood in the digital world.  With these rights also come responsibilities as well.  Users must help define how the technology is to be used in an appropriate manner.  In a digital society these two areas must work together for everyone to be productive.

• Digital identity refers to any digital representation (whole or partial)
  of an entity,
  in tangible or abstract form,
  either self-created,
  externally assigned
  or consequentially generate

• Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action

• In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.

• an individual in public has no protection against a variety of surveillance measures or against the government looking at a person's digital records with third-party companies like ISPs, online merchants or credit card vendors
• Privacy expert and George Washington University Professor of Law Daniel Solove, who has provided insight to the statewide UC initiative, told the ACLU's Blog of Rights that "Courts and legislators often are too deferential to whatever measures security officials propose … when privacy is balanced against security, security often wins because the well-being of the many outweighs the interests of one person. This is a faulty way to see privacy."
• Some believe data mining casts too broad a net to ensure privacy, for the same reasons that make activists, lawmakers and others uneasy about the propagation of surveillance cameras everywhere.

• Blogging, above all else, is conversational. It is social. It is networked. There are two key features to the blog: links, and comments. Fail to include either, and you’re talking to yourself.
• Blogging is also incomplete, open, and ongoing. It is about process, not product. It is about a shared space.
• a more useful approach is to blog about an idea for an article, then blog a draft version, asking for readers’ input – and responding to it – at both stages
• The published or broadcast version can also be posted on the blog later, as the latest stage in its production, but again with an invitation for updates and corrections. You might publish the ‘uncut’ version, too.
• In short, the story is never finished

• Personal Ethics: Decisions made on the basis of an individual’s moral character and held values and the influences thereon.  Ethical decision-making encompasses moral imagination, moral deliberation and moral courage
• Business Ethics: a form of applied ethics that examines ethical rules and principles within a commercial context; the various moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business setting; and any special duties or obligations that apply to persons who are engaged in commerce.
• Corporate Social Responsibility:the voluntary actions taken by a company to address economic, social, and environmental impacts of its business operations and the concerns of its principal stakeholders. CSR is about successfully managing the changing expectations of society on business.  Although some commentators define “sustainability” only in environmental terms, many more (including this FIT group) believe the definition should include the entire range of a business firm’s effects upon and interactions with the society in which it functions.  Thus the following section will discuss not only the critical sustainability issues regarding the physical environment, but also the role and responsibility of business in society.

• Academic Integrity can be defined by honest academic work where (1) the ideas and the writing of others are properly cited; (2) students submit their own work for tests and assignments without unauthorized assistance; (3) students do not provide unauthorized assistance to others; and (4) students report their research or accomplishments accurately

• A reasonable way to define “viral success” for view counts is similar to how teachers define getting an “A” and that is performing in the top 5% of the class. Guess how many views you need to get to be in the top 5% of YouTube? 10,000.
