RE: Banning Stupidity

in Reflections4 months ago

It's part of my job to filter certain things on the Internet where I work. There are some non negotiables that get blocked no matter what. There are others that are a bit more of a gray area. Social media is one of those. My position is we keep it open and we teach the kids to be good digital citizens but no one wants to do that, so we end up blocking it. Much to my annoyance.

Sort:  

A good digital citizen is a hard thing to define for children, because I think that it ends up warping their minds in ways that will impact on them being good citizens in general.

I think I finally disagree with you for once! :) About time right? I think being courteous, patient, thorough, measured, cautious, respectful, responsible, etc. translates just as well in the real world as it does in the digital world.
