Second Day in Media

Starting off the class for today, Ms.P put on a 15 minute video on digital citizenship. A few things I already knew about such as what is copyright and what digital footprint is. However, I learned about new terms relating to digital citizenship, such as what is digital citizenship in the first place, the pillars of digital citizenship, and so much more. 

The pillars of digital citizenship are respect and protection. These are the most important thing sin citizenship in the digital world. I've learned how to be protected on the internet in ways like having long un-guessable passwords, using incognito, and learning the security of the internet. The video also covered the nine elements of digital citizenship, that being:

• Literacy: understanding the right way to utilize specific technology.
• Commerce: understanding the use of money through online methods.
• Communication: The ability to use of different online tools to communicate.
• Access: The element relates to the digital code which describes how some students have access, while others do not.
• Etiquette: The general idea of online behavior.
•  Law: The responsible to follow legal guidelines, policy, and rules.
• Rights: rights and freedoms are also extended to the online world

        ↳ This includes freedom of speech, although not to be mixed with hate speech. Hate speech is                    something regulated against.

• Health: Improper use of technology may be detrimental to one's health.

    ↳ The overuse of technology could cause a multitude of problems. These include: headaches/migraines,             damaged eyesight ( especially when using technology in the dark ), upon other effects.

• Security: Taking the proper steps to protect yourself from dangers.

Overall, my second day in media studies was an interesting and knowledge nurturing class, learning about digital citizenship. I'm glad to have learned something new.
