responsible for teaching digital citizenship
This is a tricky one. I do believe that teachers should take this challenge on, but without the specific resources to make it happen in a valid way, it's a pretty hard thing to ask a teacher to do effectively. Teachers need more access to technology, training, and time to teach these critical skills.

An important dimension of a social media digital citizenship approach involves a deliberate, pedagogical centering of student interests, competencies, and assets, conceptualized as commitments
I feel like this is the big take-away from this article (and a lot that I have learned in this class). Yeah, PSAs are cool, but they're hardly a revolutionary concept in secondary schools. What seems far more important to me is the framework, the way that we think about digital citizenship and what it means for students.

The process of selecting a topic for a public service announcement could be aided by looking for evidence of young people’s engagement in public issues in teenage Twitte
I've always thought it would be good to run a civics class with ongoing Twitter engagement. For example, make signing up a prerequisite for the class, ask students to follow a minimum number of users, design projects around things found on Twitter, etc.

identified as White, and in high school; two were juniors (i.e., Ryan and Lori), and one (i.e., Lucy) was a senior. Participants reported that their socioeconomic status was upper middle class
Why pick only upper-middle class white kids?
-
used by over 50 percent of young people aged 16-17
I'm kind of surprised by that. I see kids spending all day on SnapChat, facebook, Instagram, and video games, but very little on Twitter.
-
While requiring students to contact their representatives and advocate for or against specific positions and legislation may not always be appropriate in the classroom
Why not? I agree that it would be unethical to ask your students to advocate for or against a specific position, but asking students to pick a position that inspires them and to advocate for it seems just fine. It would also give students an idea of the sheer number of positions being considered by our elected officials.

Always, in politics - especially if the number is a number of dollars.

esearchers have proposed developing the concept of digital citizenship to increase respect and support finding that “youth who are proactively respectful and supportive online” are not only less likely to harass others, but also more likely to intervene when it does occu
That's... kinda the definition of being "proactively respectful and supportive."
-
a model that validates, and perhaps even prioritizes, thesocial values and identities of young people as they develop citizenship practices
This right here.

real-life experience,
Key point. While I haven't read the Common Sense curricula, my initial fear is that it would resemble something like the "Just Say No" campaign, or abstinence only sex-ed. Programs like this need to reflect the experiences that students actually have.
-
76% of all public schools in the U.S. with digital citizenship curricula
Whoah. Surprised I haven't heard of this.
-
states such as Washington, California, Texas and others have proposed or passed legislation calling for formal education that instructs students about how to use information technology effectively in order to maintain student safety, privacy, and health and well-being
Interesting. I'd love to read more about this: which states actually passed laws, what metrics are being evaluated, how will success be judged, what time frames are in play, etc. Laws telling schools what to do and how to do it have a very mixed history. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just that it's complicated (and might be a bad thing if poorly done).

Students would also benefit fromdiscussing previous negative experiences in order to design more successful collaborative experiences in the future.
Co-creating a syllabus for group work?

We can begin by constructing classroom practices that mimic and rely upon the same kind of activities and tasks that students and faculty are already accustomed to doing in other domains of their lives.
In this context, and all things in school.

no teacher intervention.
Whoah.

Not only does this participation take place across languages, but it also appears to offer many unique opportunities formultilingualspeakers. We can see common examples of language mixing and code switching across discourse functions within a single dialog
Emojis have no language. ;)

one-time investment
Really important point about tech learning - it must be ongoing or it is basically useless.

Even with these enhanced innovative tools, the sheervolume of content on the Internet presents a challenge even to professionals maintaining their currency
I wonder about how Google's prominence plays into that. If I search for something that I find interesting on Google - Spanish tapas, for example - I'm likely to find a page of results that all look fairly familiar already (Food Network, a few prominent cooking blogs, Amazon links to books, etc). I know that there are many more people who have posted their own recipes on small blogs, but Google's algorithm always leads me to the big spenders, so to speak. In some ways, I feel like data aggregation has made finding obscure sources harder.

Google has transformed its business model from focusing on us as consumers to considering us as the product itself.
Yes! I read a paper on this once (perhaps the one cited?) - fascinating!
-
ways to correct for these kinds of behaviors
That's a very rosy picture of one guy getting canned. Meanwhile, Russian troll-bots significantly effected our last Presidential election and we have no plan to prevent this from happening again.

trolling, flaming, and concerns about privacy
Bullying as well.

This engagement with “others” who are not likely to share much in common with us or encounter us in other contexts is critical to our understanding as global citizens. We may simply assume that such individuals will generally not agree with us, but through collaborative dialogwe can establish a more nuanced understanding of others as well as ourselves
I love this in theory, but man, you ever go on /r/the_donald and try to change someone's mind? If one wants to use the internet to expose themselves to challenging new viewpoints I suppose they can do so very intentionally, but by default we find ourselves customizing our "feeds" to contain the perspectives that we hold already.

He argues that accessing information through the Internet likely decreases our cognitive and contemplative abilities. He suggests that participatory culture undermines the quality of our cultural content by allowing non-experts to share in the creatio
That's some bougie ass nonsense.
-
Whatmatters most now is our imaginations. The opportunity before us, individually and collectively, is enormous; what we do with it will be determined largely by how well we are able to imagine and reward public creativity, participation and sharing
That is indeed an optimistic take on social media.

I'm not familiar with this - was the Kinect "hacked" for greater functionality by users?

One of the most interesting language-related developments on the Internet in recent years is the increase in diversity of linguistic representation we encounter daily
Edit: it seems like this isn't what the author was talking about. Oh well, I still think it's interesting.<br> I find this to be a fascinating effect of our increasingly digital culture. Emojis, slang, new contractions, etc, have language shifting at incredible speeds, to the point where teachers can't always keep up with it. I don't know how universal this is, but most of the secondary ELA teachers that I know are at least trying to embrace these shifts and incorporate them into the classroom. That said, I can almost hear my elementary school teachers moaning over the loss of consistency and lack of decent spelling skills in today's youth.
