Why Teach Digital Citizenship
• It is the law - The Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act is sec.201. of the Broadband Data Improvement Act
Schools and districts must become compliant with the Broadband Data Improvement Act which was signed into law in October 2008. This act mandates that any school or school district which receives E-rate funding is required to teach students about appropriate behavior on social networking and chat room web sites, as well as the dangers of cyber bullying.• Failure to comply with CIPA results in ineligibility for the funding program.
• In general, where it is found that a funded school or library is not in compliance, the funding agency shall cease funding and give notice to the school or library indicating it should be brought into compliance. Libraries under Museum and Libraries Act 20 U.S.C. 9134(f)(5); Education Act Sec. 3601(a)(4)
• With e-rate only, where it is found that a funded school or library is not in compliance § 254(h) (not § 254(l) 47 USC 254(h)(5)(F)(ii); 254(h)(6)(F)(ii)), the school or library can be liable to reimburse the FCC for the funds for that funding year. E-rate 47 USC 254(h)(5)(F); 254(h)(6)(F)

Myths!Students Today…….
• Internet super-sleuths
• Respect for authority on
the Web is dead
• No “experts” on the
Internet
• Impatient, incapable of
waiting, demand instant gratification
Research Findings
• Prefers interactivesystems to passive ones
• Competent with
technology
• NOT expert at searching
• There has been no movement (either good or
bad) in informationskills over the last several
decades.
• Likes to cut-and-pastemaking plagiarism a serious issue
• Prefers visual information over text
•Multitasks all the time….
“good parallel processing skills.”
Our students often…..
Do not search strategically
Assume search engines understand natural language style
Continually repeat failed search terms and strategies
Show a lack of concern for the quality of their sources or the accuracy of the information found

*.gov: usually reliable
*.edu: typically reliable, but be careful…many student pages are hosted on this domain.
*.org: evaluate critically and do not assume theseare always reliable. Many have bias or a particular “agenda.”
*.com: these are usually commercial sites and not regarded as scholarly.
*
Strategies for Evaluating a Website• Who wrote the pages and is the author an
expert?
• What does the author say is the purpose of
the site?
• When was the site created and last
updated?
• Where does the information come from?
• Why is the information useful for my
purpose?
How well do WE search?
Let’s use GOOGLE to answerthis question:
How was Edgar Allan Poe related to Virginia Clem?
ONE Search Path is:

How well do WE search?
Let’s use GOOGLE to answerthis question:
What did F. Scott Fitzgerald believe makes a good story?
ONE Search Path is:
“F. Scott Fitzgerald” “makes a good story” site:edu

Search the free Internet and subscription databases
Make use of advanced search screens Use search strategies
Use peripheral vision--they mine their results for additional keywords to use as
search terms
Good searchers….
“Mine” other keywords for searching!
Pre-search….then Research• Knowing something
about a topic helps you generate possible keywords for searching.
• Wikipedia…………Utilize
keywords/links at bottom of article…The power of an “uncited” source!!!
Let’s update an old proverb:Chinese Proverb: 21st Century Precept :
• Give a student the answer to a question and he can finish his homework.
• Teach a student how to search effectively and create a lifelong learner.
• Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
• Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
