Online child safety and literacy

I’ve been doing a bit of light research into competencies of “digital natives” and stumbled across a neat little slideshow (see below) on the PEW Internet and American Life website. It’s closely relevant to the discussion we’re having in class right now about the use of publicly accessible blogs in school and the safety/risk implications thereof. For an intelligent and objective look at the hype about digital natives/millenials/net generation, see Mark Bullen‘s blog Net Gen Skeptic.

Thanks for the link to Mark Bullen’s blog. The slide show was certainly interesting. Hallmark #5 was right on the money in my eyes.

Hi David,

A good slide show you’ve found! I think all of us knew or feeling everything on the slide, but it is the power of numbers which clears our understanding.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you also for the two Marks’ links.
