Possible structure of the chapters of the syllabus

(title, content, how to categorize definitively).

Challenge : adopt a very clear structure with 3 to 5 chapters, to be fulfilled with about 30 notions

Wee could structure the curriculum around the three literacies that make up citizenship in the digital age:


Chap 1 - Introduction

Define and distinguish the three (e.g., establish the difference between media and technology, human vs. tech security, etc.); help users see that, now that media are social and digital, content is both user-produced and behavioral and power for good or ill is increasingly users' hands. "With great power comes great responsibility,"

Chap 2 - Technical Literacy

Understanding how to use technology and devices in constructive ways that are not harmful to either the device/environment or the user (including computer and network security, ID theft); in the introduction, need to establish the difference between technology and media

Chap 3 - Social Literacy

Etiquette & netizenship (social norms), psychological safety (cyberbullying), and physical safety (predation, etc.)

Chap 4 - Media Literacy

Traditional (developing critical thinking and literacy concerning what we read, consume, download) and new media literacy (developing critical thinking and literacy about what we post, share, produce, and upload); copyrights/IP, plagiarism
