Wrong Direction – When traveling in the wrong direction, the cause is often bad information. When a student chooses to go in the wrong direction with technology, it often has to do with a lack of training or not considering those around them. To get back on the right path, students need to learn about how their technology use can affect others.
It’s an Individual Choice, So What’s the Big Deal Direction – Often students don’t consider how others may feel about their behavior, and they believe “if it doesn’t bother me, why should it bother anyone else?” Students traveling in this direction can’t understand what the “big fuss is all about.” The teacher needs to help these students see beyond their own personal experience. As technology becomes more accessible, it becomes integrated in who we are. Because “my” cellular phone is mine, then what I do with it is “my” concern. These students believe that technology use is a right and not a privilege. Simply put, they don’t want others to tell them how to use “their” technology..
As Long As I Don’t Get Caught Direction – Those students choosing this direction believe that technology is there to be used and everything will be fine as long as no one else knows. The trouble with this attitude is that “what we do or do not do” can and often does affect others around us. Many students know that what they are doing is not right, but they believe that if no one knows, that makes it ok.
Depends on the Situation Direction – Some situations do lend themselves to new interpretations, but there is usually an overarching understanding of appropriate technology use. There are times when a student needs to know that some activities are appropriate in one situation but can be inappropriate in another.
I Don’t Know If It’s Right or Wrong Direction – Some students are given technology but fail to learn how to use it appropriately. But, ignorance of the rules cannot be used as a defense for technology misuse or abuse. Basic digital technology citizenship skills should be learned when using technology. This is the direction students go when they understand some aspects of technology but “only enough to be dangerous.” Sometimes, this can be worse than having no training at all. When no digital citizenship training is provided, students learn from others and can get poor advice.
Right Direction – Traveling in the Right direction takes time and diligence on the part of the student. To follow this path the student needs to have a good understanding of the technology they are using. They also need to reflect on how they use technology on a daily basis. Those who follow the right direction take time to decide not only how their action affects them, but those around them
21st Century Digital Compass ActivityDirections: Read the following scenarios. Make a decision to the direction that matches their opinion. After completing the activity begin to think about new scenarios for your school.
After everyone makes a choice, allow students to analyze their answers.
Scenario #1 – A student sends a harassing text message to another student. The receiving student retaliates with their own maltreatment text. How should sending harassing and retaliation text messages be dealt with?
Scenario #2– When hanging out with friends, one student gets a cell phone call and conducts a conversation within the group. What is the proper etiquette when using a mobile phone in a public place?
Scenario #3 – A student logs on to a file-sharing Web site and downloads the newest song. When is downloading music from a file-sharing site appropriate?
Scenario #4 – A student follows a questionable link to a Web site and downloads a malicious script that releases a virus on the school network. Should users take time before downloading material from unknown sites?
Scenario #5 – An hour before class, a student remembers that a writing assignment is due. The student goes to the library, logs on to a Web site, and copies and pastes information without giving credit to the authors. What are the Issues of using Internet materials without giving credit to the authors?
Scenario #6 – At home, a student uses a software package to copy movies and games for friends. What should be considered when duplicating copyrighted materials?
Scenario #7 – A student downloads a proxy tunneling program to their school computer to circumvent the schools' firewall. Should students use software to "tunnel" around the schools' firewall to get to the sites they want?
Texting and Driving Children and Cellphones Overuse of Technology Sexting Twitter and Social Networking Texting Anything else you can think of???
Begins the process of discussing appropriate technology use.
This begins the process of Digital Citizenship without going into the nine elements.
Helps to focus on the issues that are important in your district.
