Article focuses on "touchpoints" of digital citizenship.
Very beneficial as an introduction for digital citizenship and how to help students become "digital citizens."

Digital Citizenship: A Holistic Primer
Coulterpark, Rebecca

TeachThought Staff. (2016, October 28). Digital citizenship: A holistic primer. Retrieved from https://www.imperosoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Digital-Citizenship-A-Holistic-Primer.pdf
Summary:
This white paper discusses digital citizenship, its definition, its current role in schools, and how it should be employed in the future in schools. The team from Teach Thought discusses the history of digital citizenship, and how this new form of citizenship has developed as internet use has become more prevalent, especially as online resources have become more pertinent to education. They introduce the core themes involved with digital citizenship, proposing that they are 1) respect yourself and others; 2) educate yourself and others; 3) protect yourself and others. The paper continues by discussing the necessity of digital citizenship at all levels of education, and how to employ it and teach students about how to be good digital citizens. They conclude the paper by discussing how digital citizenship might evolve in the future and answering potential questions about digital citizenship with continuing technologies, and how to teach digital citizenship.
Evaluation:
The Teach Thought Staff take an in depth look at digital citizenship, and discuss how it should be employed not only at the K-12 level, but also in higher education. This article does a good job of looking at, and explaining, different components of digital citizenship and what types of responsibilities we have as digital citizens and the important pieces to teach to students who are new to the digital world.
The breakdown of the sections makes it easy to navigate, and takes an easy to read approach to the topic of digital citizenship.

Evaluation: I like this reframing. It would mean teaching students to go beyond being citizens and participants in a digital world created by others and teach them that they can help to change and create new digital worlds. I believe this would be empowering to students and it would engage them in learning in very meaningful ways.

Information Overload and Technology Addiction
Goodman, Jana
CA
Sullivan, A. (2016). I used to be a human being. The New York Times. Retrieved from:
Summary: This is an article about the dangers of information overload and the author's personal experience and recovery from technology addiction. Sullivan is an amazingly skilled author who in the past has used self examination and deep empathy to write about depression and the experiences of families who have a member with a mental illness or disability. This article is mind-blowing and an important read for everyone involved in technology and information. He makes the argument (and he is not the first person to make it) that the overload of information and constant information seeking is robbing us of important human connection.
Evaluation: I think this is an excellent article, it is very long but I was riveted. It raises an important idea for librarians. Even as we show students or patrons how to access limitless amounts of information, we should remember to also teach them life skills to limit this information. What are the daily habits they need to form to use ever-changing technology and information in a reasonable and limited way so it does not erode their person to person skills and rob them of desperately important human contact?
