4 Ways to Protect Against the Very Real Threat of Ransomware | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
RANSOMWARE IS A multi-million-dollar crime operation that strikes everyone from hospitals to police departments to online casinos.

Young Canadians in a Wired World, Phase III: Online Privacy, Online Publicity

Young Canadians in a Wired World, Phase III: Online Privacy, Online Publicity | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Although students are generally well informed about protecting content about them that is posted online, there is a need for more education when it comes to corporate uses of their personal information. What students know – compared to what they think they know – about protecting their data, is fraught with contradictions.

When kids are skilled navigators of our networked world | NetFamilyNews.org

When kids are skilled navigators of our networked world | NetFamilyNews.org | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I predict that, when the discourse about youth & new media is less about fear and control and more about literacy, a learning renaissance will be unleashed.

 

 

We all – young people and everybody who works with them – are learning what that looks like: skilled navigation of a networked world. We’re also working out what the skills are, how to teach them and what kind of environment (home, school and media environment) support that learning.

As a society, we’ve only just begun working the problem. The first 15 or so years of the public discussion about youth Internet safety has been much more about protecting children from new media than about helping them learn to navigate it successfully (including safely).

Google Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum | Google | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

At Google we believe in the power of education and the promise of technology to improve the lives of students and educators -- leading the way for a new generation of learning in the classroom and beyond.

But no matter what subject you teach, it is important for your students to know how to think critically and evaluate online sources, understand how to protect themselves from online threats from bullies to scammers, and to think before they share and be good digital citizens.
