Week 13-14 Cyber/Digital Literacy in the Digital Age

1. Cybercitizenship: Responsibilities in the Digital World

Being a good digital citizen means acting ethically and responsibly when online. This includes:

 Respecting others' opinions and privacy.


 Avoiding the spread of misinformation.
 Following digital laws (e.g., copyright rules).
 Engaging positively in online communities.

Digital citizenship also emphasizes empathy, accountability, and the long-term impact of online
actions.

2. Internet Safety

Staying safe online involves protecting personal information and avoiding online threats. Tips
include:

 Using strong, unique passwords.


 Being cautious with links and downloads.
 Adjusting privacy settings on social media.
 Recognizing phishing scams.

3. Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, or embarrass someone. It can be more
damaging than traditional bullying due to its:

 Persistent nature (24/7 access).


 Anonymity of attackers.
 Wide audience through sharing or reposting.

Combatting it involves:

 Reporting and blocking bullies.


 Supporting victims.
 Promoting digital empathy.

4. Cybercrimes

These include identity theft, hacking, online scams, and illegal data access. Individuals and
organizations need:

 Updated antivirus software.


 Secure networks.
 Awareness of legal consequences for illegal online behavior.

5. Managing Computer Threats

This includes:

 Recognizing malware, ransomware, and spyware.


 Keeping software and operating systems updated.
 Avoiding untrusted apps or websites.

Cyber hygiene, like regular scans and data backups, is essential.

6. Researching and Evaluating the Web

Not everything online is true. Critical digital literacy involves:

 Checking the source credibility.


 Looking for supporting evidence.
 Being aware of bias and fake news.

Fact-checking tools and academic databases are valuable for students and professionals alike.

7. Social Media Use

Social media shapes how we connect, but it comes with challenges:

 Privacy concerns.
 Online addiction.
 Pressure for validation (likes, shares).

Healthy use means setting screen time limits, being mindful of what we post, and engaging
positively.

8. Mobile Devices

Smartphones and tablets offer convenience but also risks:

 Tracking and surveillance.


 App permissions collecting personal data.
 Overuse affecting mental health.

Users should manage app permissions, install updates, and maintain balance in screen time.

9. Digital Traits

These are the habits and behaviors that define our online presence, such as:
 Digital footprint: Everything we post or share is part of our lasting online identity.
 Digital etiquette: Communicating respectfully and professionally.
 Digital resilience: Ability to recover from negative experiences online.
