Digital Citizenship and Education
Threats, Challenges and Online Safety: Becoming Digital Citizens
Nine Elements (Mike Ribble, digitalcitizenship.net)
What I Talk About When I Talk About Languages...
7. Rights and Responsibilities
The Picture for Education
"The best thing is to sound like a non-native speaker so people can't assume things about me" ('Carlos', Proficiency level student)
Who's Talking (and listening)?
"Tenor"
Part 1: Language, Education and 'Legitimate' Knowledge
Part 2: What has really changed?
Part 3: Becoming Digital Citizens
- Opportunity, Risk and Challenge in the Internet Age
- Digital Citizenship: What, Why and How?
9. Security (Self Protection)
What are they talking about?
What medium are they using?
"Field"
"Mode"
Don't be distracted. I think these columnist fellas who give me aggro for using long words are just being territorial. When they say "long words" they mean "their words" like I'm a monkey who got in their Mum's dressing up box or a hooligan in policeman's helmet.
Thank you for listening...

The Age of Change
- Multi-modal texts and new opportunities to interact with them. Digital cultural artifacts (what mode are we using?)
- Diversity of language use (what are we talking about?)
- The right to be heard (who is talking?) http://storycorps.org/animation/the-icing-on-the-cake/
- Audience and Authorship - the end of the filter?
