If you chose this topic, I'd like you to examine the ways that digital ciaatizenship, responsibility, and safety could be taught most effectively to minority groups or children under the age of 13 or between the ages of 12 and 15. 

We often use phrases like "the digital world" or "the digital marketplace", but one thing we tend to overlook is that the world, and marketplaces, as known as dangerous places for unsupervised children. How should we train children to be part of this world safely and responsibly? And when should we start to teach them about time management, and cyberbullying, and sexting, and pornography? 

Start with the following resources. 

Then, show us a Pecha-Kucha or TikTok series (See the instructions here.) that shows us the most important concepts that we should know, as digital pedogogues. 

After your Pecha-Kucha or TikTok series, give us some thought-provoking questions (especially, think of how you could apply this in your cultural context). 

Finally, monitor the discussion by replying quickly and challenging us to learn more!

Harira,
I liked your use of words and images that supported the message you were saying. The images were clearly related to what you were saying, and you didn't use too much text. Also, I liked the fact that so many of your images were of people of color. :)

One suggestion for future videos like this is to slow down more. Pause longer between sentences. You probably do this naturally when you're talking to people because you can see their aexpressions, but it's tempting to forget to pause when you're making a recording or reading.

The content was great, though, and I liked the way you highlighted key principles and recommended resources.

1) What qualities do you believe it takes to be a good digital citizen?

2) How can you stay safe while surfing the web? What should you do if you come across something disturbing online? And how do you teach your children or students about inappropriate scenes?

1- I think being respectful is the main quality to be a good digital citizen; when you respect someone in the digital environment, they will also respect you and everything will go well.

To be a good digital citizen, you need to think before you share. You should value the work of others, respect their work, and avoid oversharing without permission.

For me digital citizenship is the most important term in the virtual world that you should know. Digital citizenship demonstrates the rules and conscience of appropriate and responsible use of technology. For me, this term expresses qualities such as: kindness, responsibility, self-awareness, personal control, and carefulness.

Thanks for your presentation, Harira! Question 2 is so important for parents (and teachers), and I appreciate the advice you provide in the video regarding talking with your children about it and making the home conversation a safe space for children to learn about what's appropriate / what's not. Another idea is abiding by the suggested age limits for different applications - for instance, children are supposed to be 13 before registering for Facebook and Instagram - which can help reduce exposure before their teenage years.
