The nine elements of digital citizenship
The Nine Elements of
Digital Citizenship.
1.Digital
Access
This
certain technology is used for quick communication between people in a society
who are in large numbers. However, not all tools of this technology can be at
reach by everyone because of social issues such as disabilities as well as
physical location (Ribble, 2011).
2.Digital
Commerce
Under
digital commerce, goods and products are sold and bought online using
electronic processes. Uncommonness of this technology to students and people is
because of the fear of internet scams and identity theft (Ribble, 2011).
3.Digital
Communication
Digital
Communication is when people exchange information through electronic devices in
the form of cell phones and social networks. This form of communication has
created a new social structure governing how, when and with whom people should
interact with. Most organisations use this technology for business purposes and
people who are not exposed to technology find this form of communication
difficult to use (Ribble, 2011).
4.Digital
Literacy
Digital
Literacy is “the process of teaching and learning about technology and the use
of technology”. The importance aspect of technology is to understand how it can
be used in an appropriate manner. However, teaching people on how to use
technology appropriately is becoming history every day (Ribble, 2011).
5.Digital
Etiquette
Digital Etiquette refers
to "electronic standards of conduct or procedure." Technology users
often see this area as one of the most pressing problems when dealing with
Digital Citizenship. We recognize inappropriate behaviour when we see
it, but before people use technology they do not learn digital etiquette
(i.e. appropriate conduct). Many people feel uncomfortable talking
to others about their digital etiquette. Often rules and regulations are
created or the technology is simply banned to stop inappropriate use. It is not
enough to create rules and policy, we must teach everyone to become responsible
digital citizens in this new society (Ribble, 2011).
6.Digital
Law
Digital Law refers
to "electronic responsibility for actions and deeds." Digital law
deals with the ethics of technology within a society. Unethical use manifests
itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical use manifests itself in the form
of abiding by the laws of society. Users need to understand that stealing or
causing damage to other people’s work, identity, or property online is a crime.
There are certain rules of society that users need to be aware in a ethical
society. These laws apply to anyone who works or plays online. Hacking into
others information, downloading illegal music, plagiarizing, creating
destructive worms, viruses or creating Trojan Horses, sending spam, or stealing
anyone’s identify or property is unethical (Ribble, 2011).
7.Digital
Rights & Responsibilities
This
element is all about freedom and requirements extended to people who use
electronic components in the digital world (Ribble, 2011).
8.Digital
Health & Wellness
Digital Health &
Wellness refers to "physical and psychological well-being in a digital
technology world." Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome, and sound
ergonomic practices are issues that need to be addressed in a new technological
world. Beyond the physical issues are those of the psychological issues
that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet addiction. Users need
to be taught that there are inherent dangers of technology. Digital Citizenship
includes a culture where technology users are taught how to protect themselves
through education and training (Ribble, 2011).
9.Digital
Security (self-protection)
This refers to
"electronic precautions to guarantee safety." In any society, there
are individuals who steal, deface, or disrupt other people. The same is true
for the digital community. It is not enough to trust other members in the
community for our own safety. In our own homes, we put locks on our doors and
fire alarms in our houses to provide some level of protection. The same must be
true for the digital security. We need to have virus protection, backups of
data, and surge control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must
protect our information from outside forces that might cause disruption or
harm (Ribble, 2011).

The five fluencies of digital citizenship.
The five fluencies of
digital citizenship.
1.Solution
fluency
Our education system has
taught problem-solving in a show-and-tell manner (we show students the problem,
and tell them how we got the answer) that has fostered a culture of dependency,
rather than discovery. But if you look at today’s economy, you’ll discover that
most left-brain tasks are already automated or outsourced via Internet in a
global economy, leaving jobs that require whole-brain thinking. This means
creativity and problem-solving applied in real time. The 6D system is a
logical, thorough, and relevant approach for tackling problems.
1. Define the
problem, because you need to know exactly what you’re doing before you start.
2. Discover a
solution, because planning prevents wasted effort.
3. Dream up
a process, one that is suitable and efficient.
4. Design the
process in an accurate and detailed action plan.
5. Deliver by
putting the plan into action by both producing and publishing the solution.
6. Debrief and
foster ownership by evaluating the problem solving process.
(Crockett, Jukes, Churches, 2011).
2.Information
fluency
Data is increasing
dramatically because of infowhelm. Facts are becoming obsolete faster, and
knowledge built on these facts is less durable.
Information fluency is the ability to unconsciously interpret this
avalanche of data in all formats, in order to extract the essential and
perceive its significance. Information fluency has 5 As, which are:
1. Ask good
questions, in order to get good answers.
2. Access
and acquire the raw material from the appropriate digital information sources,
which today are mostly graphical and audio visual in nature.
3. Analyse
and authenticate and arrange these materials, and distinguish between good and
bad, fact and opinion. Understand bias and determine what is incomplete to turn
the raw data into usable knowledge.
4. Apply the
knowledge within a real world problem or simulation using a VIP action (vision into
practice).
5. Assess both
the product and the process, which are both a teacher and a student practice.
(Crockett, Jukes, Churches, 2011).
3.Creativity
fluency
Creativity fluency how
artistic proficiency adds meaning through design, art, and storytelling. We are
all creative people. This means that creativity can be taught and learned like
any other skill. It’s a whole brain process that involves both hemispheres
working together. There are 5 Is to Creativity fluency:
1. Identify the
desired outcome and criteria.
2. Inspire your
creativity with rich sensory information.
3. Interpolate and
connect the dots by searching for patterns within the inspiration that align
with your desired outcome and criteria from Identify.
4. Imagine is
the synthesis of Inspire and Interpolate, uniting in the birth of an idea.
5. Inspect the
idea against the original criteria and for feasibility.
(Crockett, Jukes, Churches, 2011).
4.Media
fluency
In our multimedia
world, communication has moved far beyond the realm of text. Our visual
learning capacity needs stimulation with rich media from a variety of different
sources. But it’s more than just operating a digital camera, creating a
podcast, or writing a document. There are two components of
Media fluency—one for input and one for output.
1. Listen actively
and decode the communication by separating the media from the message,
concisely and clearly verbalizing the message and verifying its authenticity, and
then critically analysing the medium for form, flow, and alignment
with the intended audience and purpose.
2.
Leverage the most appropriate media for your message
considering your content or message and what the desired outcome is. Then
consider the audience, your abilities, and any pre-determined criteria. From
here, the application of the other fluencies is used to produce and
publish your message.
(Crockett, Jukes, Churches, 2011).
5.Collaboration
fluency
More and more, working,
playing, and learning in today’s digital world involves working with others. It
is the spirit of collaboration that will stimulate progress in our global
marketplace, in our social networks, and in our ability to create products of
value and substance. Collaboration fluency is the ability to successfully work
and interact with virtual and real partners. The 5 Es of Collaboration fluency
are:
1. Establish the
collective, and determine the best role for each team member by pinpointing
each team member’s personal strengths and expertise, establishing norms, and
the signing of a group contract that indicates both a collective working
agreement and an acceptance of the individual responsibilities and accountability
of each team member.
2. Envision the
outcome, examining the issue, challenge, and goal as a group.
3. Engineer a
workable plan to achieve the goal.
4. Execute by
putting the plan into action and managing the process.
5. Examine the
process and the end result for areas of constructive improvement.

About Human Capital
Human Capital is a focused recruitment company specialising in placing highly talented and qualified candidates with Investment Banks, Investment Managers and other financial services businesses. Human Capital has extensive networks with senior management at local and foreign Investment Banks, traditional Asset Managers as well as Hedge Funds. In addition, Human Capital has extensive networks of Qualified Actuaries, Actuarial Students, Mathematics of Finance Graduates, Chartered Accountants ,CFA Charterholders and Engineers (Hcapital, n.d.).
Human Capital’s competitive advantage is in assisting candidates transition from traditional actuarial, accounting, consulting or analytical positions into a banking or investment environment. This is in addition to assisting candidates with existing banking or investment management experience advance up the corporate ladder in the field they are already specialised in (Hcapital, n.d.).
Hcapital. N.d. Human Capital. [Online]. Available at: http://www.hcapital.co.za/ [Accessed on 04 June 2015].
Knowledge capital, also called intellectual capital, is the intangible assets that represents valuable ideas, methods, processes and other intuitive talents that belong to a company (Financial Dictionary, n.d.).
Knowledge capital can give companies significant competitive advantages. It is hard for competitors to replicate, and it has a long life. For some companies, knowledge capital can be the bulk of the company's asset base or revenue stream (Financial Dictionary, n.d.).
Like most assets, knowledge capital can lose value as it ages; that is, it amortizes (depreciation is the term used when referring to tangible assets). The rate at which a company chooses to amortize intangible assets may result in a book value that differs from the current market value of the assets. Although the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other regulatory bodies define how and when a company’s assets are reported, companies may employ a variety of accepted methods for recording, depreciating and disposing of assets, which is why analysts must also carefully study the notes to a company’s financial statements (Financial Dictionary, n.d.).

About Social Capital
The central premise of social capital is that social networks have value. Social capital refers to the collective value of all "social networks" and the inclinations that arise from these networks to do things for each other (Hks, n.d.).
How does social capital work?
The term social capital emphasizes not just warm and cuddly feelings, but a wide variety of quite specific benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks. Social capital creates value for the people who are connected and, at least sometimes, for bystanders as well (Hks, n.d.).
Social capital works through multiple channels:
When a group of neighbors informally keep an eye on one another's homes, that's social capital in action. When a tightly knit community of Hassidic Jews trade diamonds without having to test each gem for purity, that's social capital in action. Barn-raising on the frontier was social capital in action, and so too are e-mail exchanges among members of a cancer support group. Social capital can be found in friendship networks, neighborhoods, churches, schools, bridge clubs, civic associations, and even bars. The motto in Cheers "where everybody knows your name" captures one important aspect of social capital (Hks, n.d.).

About Knowledge Capital.
How it works/Example:
Some of the most famous capital is knowledge capital: the secret formula for Coca-Cola or the Colonel's chicken, the design behind the next iPhone, the patent for the Chia Pet, the trademark for the Nike "swoosh" or the code for the next "Call of Duty" video game. These assets all produce significant revenue, and they are all the product of research, trial and error, hard work, and talent, but you can't touch them (Financial Dictionary, n.d.).
Knowledge capital largely relies on the talents of people rather than the work of machines, which means companies that want to grow and maintain knowledge capital must grow and maintain talent in their employees (Financial Dictionary, n.d.).

Social capital works through multiple channels:
- Information flows (e.g. learning about jobs, learning about candidates running for office, exchanging ideas at college, etc.) depend on social capital.
- Norms of reciprocity (mutual aid) rely on social networks. Bonding networks that connect folks who are similar sustain particularized (in-group) reciprocity. Bridging networks that connect individuals who are diverse sustain generalized reciprocity.
- Collective action depends upon social networks (e.g., the role that the black church played in the Civil Rights movement), although collective action also can foster new networks.
- Broader identities and solidarity are encouraged by social networks that help translate an "I" mentality into a "we" mentality.

Digital Literacy and Information Fluency
Animal Planet.
Purpose of the site
Animal Planet uploads different stories and videos of various animal species discovered all over the world. This website explains to us on the research topics, as well as what we (as the audience) find interesting during a particular time phrase, this can be the existence of Mermaids for instance.
Mermaids: the Body Found, Animal Planet brings viewers into the world where the legend is real. The film blends real-life events and phenomena with the story of two scientists who testify they found the remains of a never-before-identified sea creature. Spectacular CGI animates a world where mermaids really do swim below the water's surface, cooperatively hunt with dolphins and may continue to survive in an intricate society where they stay hidden in fear of their Earth-bound relatives (Animal Planet, n.d.).
The Process
The Public’s Response
Under the issue of Mermaids, different opinions and beliefs were seen. For some, they believed Mermaids do not exist but that they are only associated with cultural beliefs. They believe that this is a myth that has been passed on from generation to generation by our forefathers. Some believe that they exist and are real. Though some wish to see them in reality, they are pretty much curious of what they would do to them. This is backed up by one comment which was posted on the site, it read; " WILL LOVE TO SEE A REAL MERMAID IN MY LIFE TIME JUST DEAD THAN IT CAN NOT HURT ME SOME TIMES I WONT TO BE A MERMAID BUT JUST A LITTLE BIT CUTER THAN THEM."
The opinion of the success or lack there of Animal Planet's campaign
Even though I have never seen or spotted one on my own, I personally think mermaids do exist and are real. The evidence seen on the website is very convincing especially the video posted under the title 'Mermaid Sighting in Kiryat Yam.'

The Process
- Ask: For this research I had to ask the right appropriate question to acquire meaningful information. On the website I searched for 'Mermaids' which gave me a lot of information on them.
- Acquire: I acquired the information about Mermaids on Animal Planet. (website: www.animalplanet.com)
- Analyse: First things first I had to understand the term of what a Mermaid is. I then had to conduct my research in an appropriate and logical manner.
- Apply: With the findings I have, I then applied the information at hand on my blog where people following me can view more information about Mermaids.
- Access: As a researcher and a student, I was quite well impressed and satisfied with my findings and my questions towards Mermaids were answered.

Digital Communication
Overview, Logistics and Experience.
According to the creator’s website (Supercell), Clash of Clans is ‘An Epic Combat Strategy Game.’ It requires careful thinking, planning and managing of resources to be successful. Players must work hard to plan and build a village from scratch, set up the necessary defences to fend off enemy attacks and create a powerful army. Players enter into alliances with other players and form ‘clans.’ Players attack other player’s villages and earn rewards such as gold, elixir and trophies used to advance their position in the game.
I have played this game for over 2 years. I have never spent anything in the game. Though the game is entertaining, its also very addictive. I reached the peak and realised what I was missing in life while playing the game for hours everyday and finally left the game for the sake of my life.
The clan.
Our clan we have a leader and the way we communicate is that if I send a messages to the clan, the members of the clan will see the messages that I sent to them. Communication is locally or globally. Everyone in the clan will have access to communicate with everyone anytime when we build our security, make strategies and during war clans whether locally or globally so the communication is effective.
The communication used in the game.
In our clan we have a leader and the way we communicate is that if I send a messages to the clan, the members of the clan will see the messages that I sent to them and we can communicate locally or globally. Everyone in the clan will have access to communicate with everyone anytime when we build our security, make strategies and during war clans whether locally or globally so the communication is effective.
How the game would educate the younger generation on digital citizenship.
The game can educate younger generation to access the digital world, there will have "full electronic participation in society" It will give them basic skill to access technology and it will improve their communication skills because on the game communication is used so that the goals of the game are archived as planned.(digitalcitizenship.net)
The game can decrease the digital divide among society because if the younger generation grow up having the knowledge, skills and infrastructure to access the digital world a digital dive among society may be reduced.(IIE module manual)
The young stars will learn on how to be responsible when using the internet and we can avoid things such as cyber bullying and taking other people intellectual property without acknowledgement, it will promote a good responsibility on the generation itself so that they be accountable when exploring and surfing the internet.(globaldigitalcitizen.org)
