Digital+Citizenship


 * __Digital Communication: Investigation__**

As part of the MYP system for IT we have to follow a cycle: Investigate, design, plan and evaluate. For this project I will be investigating Digital Communication and presenting my findings to an audience.

Digital Communication is one of the nine elements in Digital Citezenship : //digital access, digital commerce, digital communication, digital literacy, digital etiquette, digital law, digital rights and responsibilities, digital health and wellness, and finally digital security. Before I go in detail with digital communication, I believe the best way to understand it is to research digital citizenship. Here are my findings or definition of digital citizenship: a society full of technology that basically I can't see my self living with out!// Digital communication is: electronic exchange of information. One of the important changes with the digital revolution is a person’s ability to communicate with other people. In the 19th century, ways of communication were limited. In the 21st century, ways of communication have become a wide variety of choices (e.g., e-mail, cellular phones, instant messaging) the expanding digital communication option has changed everything because people are able to keep communicating with anyone else. Anyone is providing with the opportunity to access information anywhere and anytime. So when I think of digital communication I immediately think of ways that I can communicate with a friend without having to meet them in person! As a group, we decided that our audience would be Mrs. Bray's grade 5 class. We believe that they should get a heads-up on the technology that they might need in senior school and the most appropriate ways to use it. We decided that our dialogue shouldn't be very complicated or too simple. It should be more of like normal words with a bit of complex words to get them used to the way teachers might address them when they come to senior school. I remember that in my first year in senior school, was very difficult to understand some teachers because they would talk to use naturally as if they were talking to IB students. So I hope that we would help them in not only digital communication because I'm most of them would know what we are going to talk about. But I really want them to be prepared for the kind of expectations that will be expected from them in senior school. But we will also try to make it fun for them so that they can really remember our presentation.
