February 19 2014 : Young Canadians lack understanding of online privacy...
*personally, I think we're gunna have to step it up a notch as educators if we're gunna tip this more towards the "increasingly aware" side...
MediaSmarts seems to be the leading source for information on Digital Privacy, etc. Both articles pull information from studies made by them. While I don't fully understand the contradiction (nor do I believe anyone does really), I am quite impressed with the lessons and resources offered by them to help illuminate students' understanding of the importance of their privacy.
- 10 things I found I needed to know, and I agree, "Your Students Should Know" (points expounded on the link):
- important people look at your online profiles
- important people make important decisions based on the information they find about you online
- what digital citizenship is
- your digital reputation is important
- create a professional identity
- information and examples are available to hep build a good reputation
- the internet is permanent - keep private things private
- The Golden Rule applies online
- don't be afraid, but don't be too... careless, open, trusting, time consumed online
- brand your self *yourself purposely separated
