    • Digital identity refers to the ways and means that identity is created and perceived in the digital world, i.e., online.
    • 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.
    • However, a "digital identity" is typically a subset of the characteristics that define a person in the real world
    • In short, digital citizenship means the ability to use technology safely, responsibly, critically, and pro-actively to contribute to society

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

    • 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.
    • Digital citizenship is a term encompassing the ability to be a safe and productive citizen online while also contributing to the global interconnection of the programmable and social Web. It can be defined as the ability to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in the digital world. This video explanation:
    • Digital Literacy is “the interest, attitude and ability of individuals to a
    • ppropriately use digital technology and communication tools to access, manage, integrate, analyze and evaluate information, construct new knowledge, create and communicate with others in order to participate effectively in society”.
    • Digital literacy is more than knowing how to send a text or watch a music video. It means having the knowledge and ability to use a range of technology tools for varied purposes.
    • the standard of academic integrity, which refers to honesty and responsibility in representing your own work and acknowledging the contribution of others.
    • Academic integrity is the core set of values and principles that underwrites the very mission of the University itself: integrity, honesty, hard work, and the determination to translate personal and professional principles into behavior.
    • Academic Integrity is honest and responsible scholarship.  As a student, you are expected to submit original work and give credit to other peoples' ideas.  Maintaining your academic integrity involves:
    • -Secure their digital devices. Keep track of it at all times or place it in secure a location.
       
       -Secure the data. Use good passwords, and do not share them with anyone (except parents or guardians). According to a new analysis, “one out of five web users still decides to leave the digital equivalent of a key under the doormat: they choose a simple, easily guessed password like ‘abc123,’ ‘iloveyou’ or even ‘password’ to protect their data (3). To create a more creative password, mix letters, numbers and even symbols.
       
       -Back up data. Microsoft research showed that nine out of ten owners do not regularly back up their files (4). Backup gives you security in case your computer malfunctions, or in case something happens to the computer itself.
    • Security is a war. As "keepers" of data we must guard against every possible back door, every clever hack, every possible weakness. We must be constantly wary of hundreds and thousands of possibilities. It is a war we can't really win. We must be ever vigilant; the hacker (or information warrior) needs to find only one weakness to exploit.
      • The definition of digital security is being safe online and anything you do that involves technology.

        • Weak passwords can lead to accounts being stolen easily. You must have strong passwords that are difficult to guess.
        • Someone can delete your hard work or make you appear poorly by hacking into one of your social/work accounts and writing/deleting information
        • someone can steal money from you through your bank account because they found your credit card or have your personal account information.

    • 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.
    • What is a digital immigrant? According to Wikipedia –  A digital immigrant is an individual who was born before the existence of digital technology and adopted it to some extent later in life. We all know that digital natives are the sector who were born during or after the digital explosion. Because they have been interacting with digital technology from the get-go, they have an innate understanding of its concepts.
    • In contrast, the term “immigrant” describes something that arrives at a new place to settle. As these definitions suggest, the native (i.e., student) belongs and the immigrant (i.e., instructor) does not.
    • Digital Natives have an inherent understanding of digital technologies, as they’ve been integrated into their lives since early childhood. They are part of a tech-savvy generation at the forefront of technological progress and want to be connected when they wish, from anywhere.
    • Digital Natives are used to receiving information really   fast. They like to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their   graphics before their text rather than the opposite. They   prefer random access (like hypertext). They function best when   networked. They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards.   They prefer games to "serious" work.
