the term "digital citizenship" seems to have been hi jacked by internet safety. Isn't citizenship so much more than this, digital or otherwise?
melly's comment April 7, 2013 8:45 PM
the focus should not only be on digital safety which of course is a large part of digital citizenship but includes so much more, like for example; digital communication, digital literacy and digital access. Digital citizenship as a subject at school was created as more than just finger wagging and more about education and infomation which in turn leads to good choices and the ability to be safe. Safety is a bonus which comes through following all aspects of digital citizenship. The school and library can be a safe place where digital information is accessed accurately and students have the ability to acquire new knowledge

Using Pixton and GoAnimate! Apps to Teach Digital Citizenship | Edmodo – Where learning happens. | Concrete_Digital_Footprints | Scoop.it

Edmodo provides consistency in teaching subjects from year to year. We don’t have have books for my classes, so everything is teacher created or scavenged off the internet. As a result, things “disappear,” including saved documents.

 

The solution was to save and organize my documents are always in my Edmodo Library. I am finding that my classes are MUCH more consistent and I don’t lose documents.

GwynethJones's insight:

WARNING & Disclosure: A wee bit of shameless self promotion here - I was honored to be interviewed by the amazing @hitsamty of SLJ

 

What wasn't mentioned but I'm passionate about: It's not the DEVICE it's the DECISION of the teen that makes a difference! I've been preaching internet safety (now awareness) since 97 one of my most embarrassing early webpages is this
http://staff.howard.k12.md.us/~gwynethj/internetsafety/internetsafety.html

A LOT of cringeworthy Don'ts there that I don't believe in anymore! We have to sometimes let kids make the right (or wrong!) choice so that they can learn the right lesson.

 

Or as I said in 2000: "The most effective, reliable, Internet Safety Filter is an Involved, Informed, and Aware Parent  and an Educated and Ethical Kid."*

Again, was honored to give my Google & Social Media Ed & Sex Ed line! (see link above) BUT, [sad face] my "Daring Librarian"  brand was not mentioned.  -- Still, an EXCELLENT take on this important subject --- my blatherings nonwithstanding!

Robin Good's curator insight, March 18, 2013 7:05 AM



Bill French has just released and made available for purchase a Google Docs based mini-app he has developed, which allows anyone to curate online content without needing to have a website or blog.


The app whic is called Qyurate, allows to capture and edit / curate content found on the web, to archive and store it by sending to a dedicated email, and to publish it via RSS.


More specifically:


Instead of emailing your annotated content items to a blogging platform such as Tumblr, email them to qyurate@gmail.com.


A running process at qyurate@gmail.com email address will see your posts, parse them into your available content for your feeds, and organize them by tags.


Tagging your posts is achieved by adding a name-value pair in parenthesis at the end of the email subject line.

Example:

The Art of QR Codes (qyurate:entconnect)


In the above example, this curated post will be categorized under “entconnect”. It is also possible to tag a post for use in multiple categories.


This makes it simple to dispatch curated items to more than one destination via separate RSS feeds.



Price: you name a price starting from $10

P.S.: Unfortunately the description and info about this new tool is quite concise and the "demo" provided on the landing page is accessible only by those who have previously bought an eBook by Bill French ($8).

* What I have done to get access without buying, is to provide a fictitious PIN when asked, and it seems you can go through it without problems.
