Part II: Digital Citizenship Compass
Using the Digital Citizenship compass, identify how you feel about each statement on the following pages and provide sound reasoning, why you feel this way based on the materials learned this month.
Geoff really wants to watch a movie on a book that he just read. He cant find the movie on Netflix, Hulu, or any other paid streaming service. He can find the movie available for purchase, but it is out of his budget. He searches for it online and finds a site where he can download it illegally and decides to do so.
To be honest, at one point I would say “worth a shot if I dont get in trouble”: That is horrible, I know. I am not in the habit of downloading illegally, but Id be lying if I said I havent done this at least once. However, I have learned that this is practicing bad digital citizenship so I might think twice before doing this type of thing again. When it comes to Geoff, he would be taking away profit from the people who own the rights to the movie. He would be on the illegal end of digital commerce.
Brenda finds a thumb drive on the floor at her local library. She decides that while no one is looking, she will inert it into her laptop to see what files are on it. She discovers that it belongs to another student in her class, and that they have been working on the same assignment she was researching in the library. Brenda decides to keep the thumb drive and pass it off as her own.
Wrong: I believe this is totally wrong because not only is she practicing bad digital citizenship by breaking digital law, she is also going against the academic honor code by plagiarizing.
While working on a project that requires you to use only photos or film footage that you took yourself, you realize that you forgot to take one of the shots (while you were on location) a week ago. You dont have time to drive two hours to take more footage but you did find some footage online that will work perfectly. You decide to use this extra footage and pass it off as your own.
Wrong: This too is wrong because I would be breaking digital law. I am using someone elses work without giving them the proper credit. I am also breaking the academic honor code because I am submitting work that is not totally my own.
Your teacher assigns you to work with a group of students that you dont like and you are not happy about it. You ignore your members request for contact, because you have decided not to work on the assignment with them. Just before the assignment is due, you send and email to your members; you claim that none of them got in touch with you, and then forward that email to your teacher.
Not comfortable with this: I feel in this scenario that digital communication is being misused. Not only am I not communicating with my classmates, but I am being deceitful and using an email to mislead my teacher about what has been going on.
While sitting in class, you decide to take some pictures of your teacher (without your teachers knowledge or permission). You then edit the pictures and post them on Twitter and Instagram.
Wrong: I believe this is wrong due to the fact that it is going against the teachers digital rights. I would be invading her personal privacy by taking pictures without her knowledge and violating her digital privacy by posting them online.
Randy doesnt have a lot of money but really wants to watch a movie that is on Netflix. He knows that you have an account and asks for your username and password.
I am in between “Doesnt
