Proposition

Possible structure of the chapters of the syllabus

(title, content, how to categorize definitively).

Challenge : adopt a very clear structure with 3 to 5 chapters, to be fulfilled with about 30 notions

Wee could structure the curriculum around the three literacies that make up citizenship in the digital age:

Chap 1 - Introduction

Define and distinguish the three (e.g., establish the difference between media and technology, human vs. tech security, etc.); help users see that, now that media are social and digital, content is both user-produced and behavioral and power for good or ill is increasingly users' hands. "With great power comes great responsibility,"

Chap 2 - Technical Literacy

Understanding how to use technology and devices in constructive ways that are not harmful to either the device/environment or the user (including computer and network security, ID theft); in the introduction, need to establish the difference between technology and media

Chap 3 - Social Literacy

Etiquette & netizenship (social norms), psychological safety (cyberbullying), and physical safety (predation, etc.)
