MODULE 9: DIGITAL/CYBER LITERACY

PRIOR LEARNING WORKSHEET

This is a pre-test of your understanding of the concepts and principles that are
covered in this module. Based on your prior learning, do the following learning
How do you define cyber/digital literacy and cybersecurity?
Cyber Literacy means the ability to use computer technologies effectively and to simultaneously
understand the implications of those actions. It is also important to know where to go to find reliable
and accurate resources in cyberspace, otherwise known as cyber intelligence. While Cybersecurity
awareness relies on individuals knowing basic ways that they can protect themselves, their data and
their devices. The foundation of that awareness may be found in developing basic technology and
digital literacy skills.

What do you mean by cyber citizenship? Elaborate

Cyber Citizenship entails the knowledge, skills, and responsibility to participate meaningfully and safely
in civil society in the 21st century, as well as to build resilience against online manipulation and threats.
To be a good cyber citizen, we need to know what that actually means. Citizenship is the rights,
privileges and duties conferred on a member of a society. It most often includes both protections (e.g.,
the Bill of Rights) and duties (e.g., obeying the law, contributing to the community). Cyber citizenship is
the rights, privileges and responsibilities required of internet and cellular network users.

When can we say that a person is digital/cyber literate?

Digital literacy means having the skills you need to live, learn, and work in a society where
communication and access to information is increasingly through digital technologies like internet
platforms, social media, and mobile devices. A person who is digital/cyber literate know how to create,
communicate, and share digital content. Students who are building digital literacy skills understand the
basics of Internet safety such as creating strong passwords, understanding and using privacy settings,
and knowing what to share or not on social media.

What are netiquette and the process of safety use of digital media? Give example/s.
Below are ten examples of rules to follow for good netiquette the process of safety use of digital media.
1. Avoid posting inflammatory or offensive comments online (a.k.a flaming).
 4. Show good sportsmanship when playing online games, whether you win or lose.
5. Don't troll people in web forums or website comments by repeatedly nagging or annoying
them.
6. Stick to the topic when posting in online forums or when commenting on photos or videos, such

7. Don't swear or use offensive language.
8. Avoid replying to negative comments with more negative comments. Instead, break the cycle
with a positive post.
9. If someone asks a question and you know the answer, offer to help.
10. Thank others who help you online.

How can you practice the processes of internet exploration, source citation, research and data-
gathering protocols and website evaluation?

How can cyber/digital literacy be integrated in the teaching-learning process?

The following are suggested activities to integrate digital literacy, higher-order thinking and
construction of meaning in the classroom.
1. Use an interactive whiteboard to design and deliver lessons. Use Promethean and Smart Notebook
with teacher-created lessons if you are not yet capable of designing your own.
2. Allow students to maintain blogs, wikis, web pages related to their learning.
3. Engage in email/video chat exchanges with students.
4. Utilize storytelling media to allow students to create and publish stories.
5. Set-up a blog sites, Facebook page, yahoo, or Google group and post weekly discussion questions for
students to respond.
6. Use video cameras to dramatize stories, record scientific experiments and expose students to video
editing software to create video production of learning
7. Engage students in discussions about how and why various media work well to showcase learning
and why others do not.
8. Thinking critically about the medium use to present a message is as important as the message itself.
9. Require E-Portfolio that would compile their outputs, projects, messages and photo-documents of
group activities and investigation online.
10. Allow students to use digital tools, such as mobile phones, Ipad and netbooks for Google search,
dictionary Apps, Youtube, Podcast and Spotify applications in class to complement their learning,
especially during group works and concept reporting.

partner, and friends.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS WORKSHEET

Direction: Analyze the following research abstract and cite its implications on teachinglearning. You may
download the full paper of his research on the website given below.

Research Title: Teachers’ belief about integrating digital literacy into classroom practice: An investigation
based on the Theory of Planned Behavior/Authors: Sadaf and Johnson (2017)

Question 1: How do teachers perceive digital literacy integration into their classrooms, according to
the study?

Findings revealed that teachers' integration of digital literacy were related to their behavioral beliefs
(attitude toward outcomes of a behavior) about the value of digital literacy for developing students'
21st-century skills, increasing student engagement, and preparation for future careers; normative
beliefs (social support) about meeting the expectations of administrators, parents, colleagues, and
students; and control beliefs (perceived behavioral control) about ease of integrating digital literacy due
to access to technology, professional development, and curriculum resources.

Question 2: How does the result of the study impact the students’ learning and the development of
21st Century skills?
The results of the study revealed that teachers’ behavioral beliefs were related to teachers’ perceptions
of the benefits of digital literacy for students. These benefits were associated with developing 21st-
century skills, increasing engagement, and preparing students for future careers. These results indicate
that most teachers integrated digital literacy in their classrooms because of the importance of digital
literacy for developing 21st-century skills, so their students will not only be able to use digital media
efficiently but also be prepared for a world beyond the K-12 classroom.

CURRICULUM APPLICATION TASK

Direction: Produce and evaluate a digital tool that can be utilized in the classroom.
