Social Responsibility

  Social responsibility is a huge thing and educators should teach it responsibly. The future of social responsibility is changing and evolving. Students need to understand how to be socially aware when roaming the internet. The social platform is being used for everything. Students are using it for religion, school, and personal use. Students need to be taught that not every website is truthful or insightful. Also, it is the duty of the educator to educate the students about tough situations that most people are afraid to touch on based on their fear of being called insensitive. “ Education is about opening minds, creating new knowledge ” (Educators and social responsibility: What this means to informed citizenry, 2020).   The future is bright and with all that has happened in the past recent years, educators will be teaching about things people want to keep hidden. Every student should be aware of the different things happening in the world and how to be socially responsible online

Security data and Student Privacy

  Student privacy is a big deal and protecting it is important. Students need to fill safe when roaming the internet and putting their personal information online. It is important because every company uses online data to gather information. For example, just about every job requires people to apply online and submit their personal information, such as social security number, name, mailing address, and date of birth. So, we must be extremely careful when online. Therefore, safeguarding the websites is important. “ We argue that technological measures should provide transparency about data uses, provide accountability for algorithmic decisions, and ensure the security of learners’ data” (Reidenberg & Schaub, 2018). In the future, I can see how not honoring privacy can lead to additional fines and harsher sentences from the federal courts. Students learning now comes from technology. They use certain apps to help them better understand the content. So, the apps that they use needs

Digital Citizenship

  Digital citizenship has become evident in schools. Students are now starting to learn while using technology. I have said before that with todays’ technology, students can learn from the comfort of their home. Face to face instruction is not necessary the only way to learn in the 21 st century. The ISTE standards give a plethora of digital tools that can be used to access induvial learning skills ("Know the ISTE StandardsT 3: Model digital age learning," n.d.) . It also gives teachers ideas and strategies on what to use for their students. Digital citizenship is for every student at every grade level. Meaning, students as young as pre-school can use technology to learn. “All students need digital citizenship skills to participate fully in their communities and make smart choices online and in life” (Digital Citizenship, 2020). This will allow students to engage in learning on their individual instructional level. Teachers need to share with students how to protect their

Digital Rights

Digital rights are important because it protects the right of citizens who wish to be present on social media. It gives people the right to express themselves without persecution. It is freedom of speech but online. People have the right to post what and how they feel without any threats to harm people. “ As we increasingly conduct our lives online – shopping, socializing and sharing information – our digital rights, particularly the rights to privacy and freedom of expression, are becoming more important” (What are your digital rights?, n.d.).  Unfortunately, in todays world, freedom of speech rather its being verbally articulated or written online is costing people their lives. Digital rights are just not freedom of speech, but government agency also use digital data to gather information on certain ethnic groups and groups of socio-economic status without permission. Its almost like they are being targeted based solely on their status. I do not believe in speaking ill of any race,

Media Fluency

  Media fluency is very important and can help develop students understanding and usage of the media. Students can identify misinformation and bias when it comes to the media. I know the slogan for the past few years has been “Fake News” (Daunic, 2019). However, not everything placed in the media is fake news. This will give students the opportunity to figure out what is real and what is not. They can use the media to brainstorm ideas and look up various important facts. They can use what they find and discuss it in a classroom setting. This will allow them to broaden their horizon on a certain topic. “Teaching media fluency skills is crucial to the educational environment as technology continues to reshape how students think and react to digital media and the message they receive” (How to teach media fluency skills: 6 cool concepts to try, 2020).   Teaching media fluency should not be taking lighting and it is imperative that it is included in the educational setting. Students need
