Today's discussion was interesting because we explored a variety of topics regarding what it means to be a "digital citizen." It is our responsibility as teachers to demonstrate to our students the importance of accurately analyzing information online, as well as using the internet responsibly (i.e. not using it for nefarious purposes such as bullying, stealing, etc).
I was also very interested by our discussion about the differences between media in our country and other countries, where access is more restricted and citizens cannot reach information instantaneously like we can here.
The digital world is indeed world unto itself, populated by faceless users who hold a lot of power in their fingertips. It is very important to navigate it carefully, so as to enjoy all that it has to offer.
