Proposition
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:
Sommaire
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
