Moderns Values vs. Digital World
“These values seem acceptable for any
age, but they need fine-tuning to be fully
applicable to the world of cyberspace. “
“For example, the value respect, common
to many inventories, might be restated:
RESPECT within local, global, and digital
communities.” (Ohler, 2011)

A large storehouse of Digital Citizenship

Social Networking
In the past…
Reactions to digital-age misbehavior have come
in 2 forms:
Responding in a caseby-case manner
OR
by arbitrarily blocking
large portions of the
Internet and expelling
students
Those approaches DO NOT work
• They don’t show how the issues are
connected and should be handled in a
‘connected’ manner.
• They don’t teach students how to be
digital citizens.
(Ohler, 2011)
What they DO is reinforce that students should
live their digital lives away from school and
adults.
(Ohler, 2011)
Character Education:
The Solution to Choose
Establish a proactive, aggressive
character education program that
uses student’s digital tools. (Ohler,
2011)
Put digital activities within the
context of community rather than
students' private lives. (Ohler, 2011)
Involve the students in the teaching
process.
(Hassett, 2010)
