Thanks for following! MAJOR PROJECT PROPOSAL To write a summary for my major project, I started to read through all of my posts. I found it interesting that within the first couple of paragraphs into my first entry, I had stated in my initial proposal, "I could learn more about digital identity and citizenship alongside … Continue reading Well, that’s a wrap!

Digital Dialogue
It has been a while (almost a month) since I last posted about my major project. There are a couple of reasons for this (in order): #1 - unsure of what direction to go next with my project#2 - lack of interest/participants for my new direction (I'll explain more below), so I left the window … Continue reading Digital Dialogue
Being literate? What does it mean to you?
Source The concept of “being literate” today has a bit of a different definition as time goes on. During my exploration of a definition of literacy, much to the same findings as Catherine, I also came across a few different definitions that focus on a socially constructed viewpoint on literacy. "Literacy is a social construction, … Continue reading Being literate? What does it mean to you?
DigCit State of Mind
Are you guilty of saying some of these things or have heard colleagues mutter these? "I'm not a computer person." "It's easier to just not use technology at all." "These kids don't know how to act when they go online. They are always off task." "I'll show that #digcit video on Friday if I have … Continue reading DigCit State of Mind
Enjoyment vs. Business
*Disclaimer*Conclusions drawn from this survey are mostly my personal opinion, and are not all derived from specific research-driven facts. As mentioned at the end of my last post, the next step in my project was to get participants (any age) to analyze their purpose for going online. I was inspired, once again, by the Web … Continue reading Enjoyment vs. Business
Digitized Identification
Much like most of us did after sleuthing on strangers last week, I did some searching on my own name and came across very little except some news articles and profile pictures regarding some sporting accomplishments I had when I was in my prime (mostly under my maiden name). As much as I was glad … Continue reading Digitized Identification
Hard to Tell
This week, I addressed the idea of digital etiquette. I did this by searching and eventually finding a resource on BrainPop, a common online resource used in both primary and middle years. They have a great section dedicated to Digital Citizenship, accessible without a subscription. I encourage you to take a look and see if … Continue reading Hard to Tell
And the results are in!
So, it seems as though the kids that took part in my survey are more aware of what information they should share with particular audiences than I gave them credit for. That's a positive! Let me backtrack a bit. Last week, I sent out a survey to both kids (ages 7 to 12) and parents … Continue reading And the results are in!

And we’re off….
Since my last post for which I shared my proposal for my major project, I’ve started to figure out the direction I want to go. First, I searched online for some information related to digital citizenship for kids and came across a website called Be Internet Awesome (by Google), which Leigh tweeted about as well. … Continue reading And we’re off….
