Online reputation and the job industry

70 percent of U.S. hiring managers surveyed had

rejected candidates based on what they found. Top

disqualifiers: unsuitable photo and videos, concerns

about the applicant’s lifestyle, and inappropriate

comments.

In 2010, Microsoft research* found that 79 percent of

hiring managers and job recruiters surveyed in the US

said they routinely review online reputational

information when considering job applicants.

New Learning

Theory

and the

Digital Citizen of

the Future

So, is it just me?

• The impact of technology on

how kids take in information

and learn:

• “I don’t know what it is, but I

know it when I see it…”

• Marshall McLuhan and the

“dissolution of the linear mind” (Nicolas Carr, The Shallows)

– The media supply not only the

stuff of thought but shape the

process of thought

New Learning Theories and the Digital Citizen of the Future

The “Rewiring of the Brain?”

• Heavy tech user? Book

reader?

• How’s that book reading

going? Difficulty tracking

with long sections of

writing?

– Skimming, scanning,

popcorn-ing

– Some evidence kids are no

longer reading left/right;

top/bottom

– Evidence of changes in how we process e-books


The “Rewiring of the Brain?” cont.

• Michael Merzenich(neuroscientist, Univ. of WI,

1968) confirms neural

plasticity (“massive plasticity”)

– The brain reorganizes

itself if challenged

– The brain is not only

adapting to its

environment, but also to

the tools being used


The “Rewiring of the Brain?” cont.

• The Piano Test (Alvaro Pascual-Leone - Harvard Medical

School, NIH)

– Mapped brain activity of group

that practiced a musical phrase

physically vs. mentally

• Same changes in the brain

• Brain did not know the

difference if a “virtual

experience”


Brain Under Siege….

Mind/Shift (KQED) – “Age of Distraction,” quoting

Psychologist Daniel Goleman

• The brain is the last organ to anatomically

mature (grows until mid-20s)

– “Attentional circuitry” needs sustained episodes of

concentration to develop

• The ability to focus found to be the strongest

indicator of success (Moffitt, Caspi – Duke University)

• “Focused attention” circuitry is identical to the

circuits managing empathy (pre-frontal cortex – focus,

executive functioning)


Brain Under Siege, cont.

• Anybody see a potential issue?


Okay, Kelly, we give…

• What does all of this

have to do with

Digital Citizenship?

• What does all this

suggest about

students of the

future and where

we might need to

focus?


Digital Citizens of the Future

• Thanks to technology:– Are challenged with

sustained focus

– Are able to multi-task (well,

not really)• “Continuous partial attention”

(Goleman)

– Think they’re focused when

they’re not

– May also have

developmental challenges

around empathizing


Digital Citizens of the Future, cont.


• Larry Rosen (Cal State,

Dominquez Hills)– Study of “multi-tasking students”

to track focus

– On-task behavior began

deteriorating at the two minute

mark

– Tech separation anxiety

– “Young people have a wildly

inflated idea of how many things

they can attend to at once”

The Skills Needed…


Cut off all technology? Of course not!

• Extended learning opportunities to focus

without distractions

• Ability to “de-Pavlov!”

• Tech can’t be the only source of

connection (fight separation anxiety)

• Human “face time” is important for social

cue development, connection, empathy

• Social media do not naturally lend

themselves to empathetic development

(cyberbullying, anyone?)

Technology Policy Development Implications


• It’s NOT about the tech

• It’s about human behavior

• How can we use what we know

about brain development…

• To shape the responsible citizens of

the future, ready to succeed in this

brave new world

"In this increasingly global world of information, students must be taught to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use

information ethically, and use social tools responsibly and safely." American Association of School Librarians

Standards for the 21st Century Learner

http://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/guidelinesandstandards/learningstandards/AASL_LearningStandards.pdf

Students In Today’s Technology Landscape

• Increasingly have access to the Internet

and mobile technologies at home and

school

• Technology has the promise for learning,

communicating, and sharing

• Are not always aware of the

consequences of their actions in the

digital world

• Kids aged 8-18 spend 7.5 hours per day

with media

• One in three 10-18 year olds have

reported being cyberbullied

• 41% of kids aged 8-17 leave their

Facebook privacy settings on “default”

• 35% of college admissions officers found

something online about an applicant that

negatively impacted their application

The App Gap 0-8yrs

A digital citizen knows how to harness the power of

technology safely, respectfully, and responsibly.

• Avoiding risky situations

• Thinking before revealing

• Protecting privacy

• Cultivating a positive digital footprint

• Communicating respectfully

• Building community online

• Searching effectively

• Determining website credibility

• Respecting creative credit
