Digiteen Project

We have started a project on Digiteen.com. This project is all about getting to know other people online and to research with them. Our team is researching about digital literacy.

"The goal of Digital Literacy is to teach and assess basic computer concepts and skills so that people can use computer technology in everyday life to develop new social and economic opportunities for themselves, their families, and their communities". This is the definition of digital literacy. My side of the project is to research about the digital literacy of people that are in middle/high schools. People in these ages get digital literacy by doing online exams or by filling in surveys. These things are all considered as digital literacy.

Growing Up Online

During this I.T. lesson, we watched videos about teenagers growing online. At first all of them seemed to like it, or in other words, love it! They seemed to be famous online and had many friends. They seemed to had fun and seemed to have the best moments of their lifes. then, after days, weeks, months or years, they really did regret the fact that they put their pictures online. They used to put really personal pictures online and they thought that people liked them until the bullied them and started insulting them and make them feel worse then ever.

I personally think that living online is a really bad idea. I even think that putting personal pictures online is the biggest mistake ever. Anyone can take it and they can stalk you or even worse, and now after looking at what happened to people that did it, I really am sure that it is a very bad idea.
