Digital Citizenship Application is the technology of choice that provides adult
learners with detailed instruction on online safety, discusses cyberbullying,
and offers ethical information on the use of digital resources. This
application has the availability to be installed on tablets and mobile devices.
Users have the ability access all information regarding digital citizenship and
list precautionary measures for the use all digital resources. This application
allows users to acquire an understanding of the measures that helps prevent the
abuse or misuse of information systems.
The selection of
this technology assist adult learners in their efforts of continuing education
and the use of digital technology. Understanding the need for ethical and respectable
values when using any type of technology that requires communication with
others is vital to all users. Adult learners must understand what is
appropriate when working groups, passing information to others, and writing in
professional forums. Brey (2012) discussed how ethical assessment of emerging
technologies concerns the question of what is good and bad about the devices
and processes that they may bring forth, and what is right and wrong about ways
in which they may be used. Selecting this application allows users to acquire
an understanding of the appropriate use of language in different forums where
communications with digital systems is a requirement. As technologies emerge, users must have the
skills and knowledge of the appropriate uses in order to get certain messages across
to their intended audiences.
Incorporating this
technology into my professional profession would assess the students and
instructors of my organization with an understanding of what is appropriate for
different setting when using different form information systems. Additionally,
this is what all users’ need that will assist in keeping them mindful of the
digital citizenship and how that citizenship applies to meeting their needs.

Acceptable Use Policy
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is the
educational technology of choice because this keeps users aware of what to do
as a means of protection and measures to eliminate miss use of the
technological equipment. The AUP defines the appropriate use of the devices and
the allowed information passed on these devices. This similar to a contract
where the users agree to operating within the limitations of the defined rules
that govern the use of the internet in conjunction with other forms of
technology. This technology provide users with a list of acceptable and
unacceptable list of the types of languages used, what can be sent over the
internet, and different types of hardware and software devices.
The
reason for selecting this form of technology application is because it provides
adult learners with information that supports the use of digital citizenship.
This application informs adult learners about the appropriate uses of
technology and the other devices that support its use. Adult learners must have
knowledge of privacy, safety, language use, and the types of information that
have the potential to cause harm their institution. Marcenik (2015) discussed how the purpose of
this policy is to provide safe parameters for exploring digital resources and
using school-issued devices properly. It also ensures that schools do their
very best to block out the darkest corners of the web. Having these appropriate
measures allow provide adult learners with an overall understanding of what
they need for successful use of various types of technology.
The
use of this application would support the efforts of my profession by informing
all students and educators on the correct uses of technology and the associated
devices that support that particular use. Adult learners need to understand
what is appropriate to use or not to use when communicating over the internet.
This would pose as a contract where they acknowledge the understanding of the
use of the proper language when writing in a professional forum and passing
information to other with the use of different types of software.
Another
use for this technology application as it pertains to digital citizenship is
that it provides future military leaders of my organization with knowledge of the
release of certain information and the correct means of communicating over the
internet. This technology informs students of the proper use of all devices and
how the improper use could cause harm to others if misused.

Hello Braley:
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post. The turnitin tool is a great tool for helping learners write scholarly papers without plagiarism. I have not used it to the fullest measure yet, but understand how helpful it could be for the learners you describe in your profession. I would use it for myself as the trainer to make sure my materials are cited correctly.
