Disconnected Chapter 5

4 Key Elements of Conscientious Connectivity
Cultivating Ethical Sensitivity
Presenting scenarios to students
Ask questions that reveal thinking- deep reflecting
Engage in perspective-taking exercises to "expose moral and ethical points of view."
Cultivating Motivation
ethical motivation is the "inclination to wrestle deeply with the dilemmas and perspectives at hand."
ask youth to reflect on their moral beliefs and values
Cultivating Agency
"the capacity to envision and enact socially positive or civic online deeds."
Activism
Promote conversations about how issues affect their community
Engaging Ethical Thinking Skills
Three Roles
Complex perspective taking
Thinking about an online action from other people's perspectives. How will it affect others?
Community Thinking
Being aware of the potential harm or benefits of what you post. How will my online actions affect the larger community/society/world?
Roles and Responsibility Thinking
Knowing that what I say affects others or the organizations you represent. How will what I post online reflect on my employer/principal?
Remind us to reflect on our choices
Teaching Digital Citizenship
Current teaching models by adults- could be parents or teachers
Don't post that- it can get you kicked out of school or lose your job
Don't give out your information online
Adults usually teach students about the physical dangers
Students may be more receptive to teachings from an after school club because they are there voluntarily
students respond well to role-playing and prompts for reflection
If students are feeling "watched" they may not develop the skills to "develop conscientious habits of mind."
Peers and older siblings might make good teachers through modeling good online behaviors

Contemplation in a Technological Era
Borgman/Merton
Merton feared the results of technology- he said that it would reduce life to "production and consumption."
Celebrate Contemplation...
"the contemplative life should not be the strenuous clinging to an idea of sanctity, but the celebration of resurrection and creation."
"Contemplation needs a cloister, a space where the splendor of the simple is secure from mindless distraction and busyness."
"is said to yield the greatest pleasure and to lift humans most nearly to the level of divinity."
Borgman describes Merton as a prophet, seer, and warner.
