I listened to a panel at SITE 2013 that dealt with teaching skills for digital citizenship. Among the skills the panel recommended: media literacy, cyber ethics, online communication skills, and knowledge of both open resources and those behind paywalls. Panelist Joke Voogt<\/i> offered some levels of competence: a passive user understands what’s going on, an active one uses web resources, a competent user is able to interact online, and a skillful user also knows how to influence others. My own wishlist includes some practical skills: When teachers find an error on Wikipedia, they fix it instead of complaining. Students check other sources beyond the first hit on Google. Journalists avoid generalizations like “online crowds” and “internet users”, especially if they\u2019re referring to comments from their magazine\u2019s own forum. Entrepreneurs give up clumsy surreptitious advertising in social media and instead offer their products openly. People stop getting angry about strong opinions in blog posts \u2013 and bloggers will share those strong opinions with style but not with rancor. As long as I\u2019m making wishes, maybe people will make a habit of acknowledging the original source when sharing material on Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
