Digital+Citizenship+and+Ethics

In this assignment we had to pick a link from the ones listed on D2L and explore it. We had to see if it described what digital citizenship was and ethics and if it was appropriate for certain age levels. We also had to describe the way that the site was layed out and if it was beneficial.

Tara Goike I chose the site from St.Francis to explore. This site is extremely beneficial when regarding the fair use terms, and how to better understand them. I think that the intended audience for this website is very clear by the initial homepage that the link leads you to. This would be helpful in a classroom because it’s creative enough to keep the students engaged yet very informative when you click on the specific links. This would be something you could use in a computer lab setting, or on a project like a smart board. The teacher could click on the objects and read about the terminology. This is age appropriate definitely, and would be something that the students could really get involved in. The site is set up like a map and gives the various locations with “fair use” word choice. I would use this to give students a better insight on what fair use is exactly, and I think that it would help them a great deal in a learning assessment way.
