Week 8: My colleagues’ URLs


Digital Citizenship, Ethics, and Netiquette

The three colleagues’’ blogs having the URLs that interest me are as follows: 

Marian Perkins:  http://www.beyondthebinders.blogspot.com/                                                   


Jennifer Pierson:  http://jp101473.wordpress.com/

What does digital citizenship mean to you?

I found Marian’s blog on digital citizenship interesting from Microsoft.  “Microsoft” teach us what digital citizenship is.  The URL is located at the following URL:   http://www.microsoft.com/security/resources/digital-citizenship.aspx.

According to Microsoft, “Digital citizenship is usually defined as the "norms of behavior with regard to technology use.”  It encompasses digital literacy, ethics, etiquette, online safety, norms, rights, culture and more.  Microsoft recognizes that good digital citizenship, when you use computers, gaming consoles, or mobile devices, promotes a safer online environment for all.  The visual whitepaper, "Fostering Digital Citizenship," discusses why digital citizenship matters and outlines the education young people need as they explore, learn, and essentially "grow-up" online.
 
The next interesting digital citizenship URL comes from Lenora’s blog from YouTube at the following URL: 
 
“In this talk, Rosalind Wiseman addresses the complex problem of bullying in schools, and how administrators and parents need to support kids to make schools the safe places that they should be.  Rosalind Wiseman is an internationally recognized expert on children, teens, parenting, bullying, social justice, and ethical leadership.  She is the author of Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World, the groundbreaking, fully revised edition of her bestselling book that was the basis for the movie Mean Girls. 
 
The third URL is as follows http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/Nine_Elements.html.  It comes from Jennifer Pierson's blog.  According to this cite, “Digital citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology use.”
