enabling people to : express
their views and concerns,
access information and
services, defend and promote
their rights and responsibilities
The Power of
Social Media
What advantages
does the creation
of social media
offer citizens of
developing
nations?
Should international

organizations concerned
with economic
development and human
rights embrace social
media as tools for
achieving those ends?
How should
social media fit
into the broader
context of ICT ?
Global Digital Divide
โ€ข describes the unequal
distribution of information and
communication technology
across nations, commonly
described as the โ€œgap between
information haves and have-

The Role of ICT
in the Recent
History
EDSA (People Power Revolution)
โ€ข A major protest that took
place along EDSA from
February 22 to 25, 1986
involving 2 million Filipinos
from different sectors
EDSA (People Power Revolution)
โ€ข Cardinal Sin encouraged the
Filipinos to help end the
regime of the former President
Ferdinand Marcos through
Radyo Veritas which helped
change the course of history.
EDSA Dos
โ€ข Also known as 2001 EDSA
Revolution
โ€ข Happened during Jan 17-21, 2001
โ€ข It was fueled after 11 prosecutors of
then President Joseph Estrada
walked out of the impeachment trial.
As a result, the people in EDSA grew
over the course of a few days through
text brigades
Yolanda People Finder
โ€ข Recent storms in the Philippines gave
birth to the People Finder database
powered by Google. During typhoon
Yolanda, the People Finder was a vital
tool for people across the globe to track
the situation of their relatives. This proved
to be successful and is now adapted by
more organizations to help people track
relatives during calamities.
Million People March
โ€ข a series of protests that mainly took
place in Luneta Park from Aug 22 to
26, 2013. There were several
demonstrations that happened around
the key cities in the Philippines and
some locations overseas. It was to
condemn the misuse of the Priority
Development Assistance Fund
(PDAF)
Million People March
โ€ข Though dubbed as the Million
People March, the number of
total attendees was only around
400,000. The organizers and
promoters of the protest used
Facebook and Change.org as
their mediums.
ICT as Medium
for Advocacy
Change.org
โ€ข is dubbed as the โ€œworldโ€™s
platform for changeโ€ where
anyone from online
community can create a
petition and ask others to
sign it
Change.org
โ€ขIt gives access to more
people by allowing the
online community to affix
their digital signatures on
a petition.
Change.org
โ€ขIts mission is to help
people from around the
world create the change
they want to see.
Change.org
โ€ข Sample petitions raised were:
economic problems, criminal
injustice, abuse of human
rights, lack of education,
environmental concerns,
animal abuse, human health
concerns and world hunger.
Digital
Citizenship
Digital Citizenship
โ€ข refers to the utilization of
information technology (IT) in
order to engage in society,
politics, and government.
โ€ข K. Mossberger, et al. define
digital citizens as "those who use
the Internet regularly and
effectively".
Digital Citizenship Principles:
โ€ข Engage Positively
โ€ข Know your online world.
โ€ข Choose consciously.
(Source: esafety.gov.au)
Engage Positively:
โ€ข respect the rights of others to
participate and have an opinion
โ€ข ask before tagging other people or
posting photos
โ€ข report offensive or illegal content
โ€ข stand up and speak out about
cyberbullying โ€” protect your friends
Engage Positively:
โ€ข don't respond to hurtful or nasty
comments โ€” block and report
cyberbullying
โ€ข speak to your parents or trusted adult
about upsetting online experiences
โ€ข report threats of violence to the police
(collect the evidence to show them).
Know your Online World:
โ€ข learn how new skills will help you
explore the online world
โ€ข recognize online risks and how to
manage them
โ€ข look out for suspicious emails and
scams
Know your Online World:
โ€ข use secure websites for financial
and retail services
โ€ข keep passwords secret, strong
and unique
โ€ข know how to report bullying
behaviour on social media sites.
Choose Consciously:
โ€ข choose privacy and security
settings carefully and check them
regularly
โ€ข choose friends wisely online โ€”
not everybody online is who they
claim to be, regularly review your
connections and remove people
Choose Consciously:
โ€ข if you have made a mistake
apologize and take down
offensive material as soon as
possible
โ€ข ask for permission before
uploading pictures of your friends.
Nine Elements of Digital
Citizenship
โ€ข Access
โ€ข Commerce
โ€ข Communication
โ€ข Literacy
โ€ข Etiquette
โ€ข Law
โ€ข Rights and
Responsibilities
โ€ข Health
โ€ข Security
(Source: sophia.org)
Digital Access:
โ€ข This is perhaps one of the most
fundamental blocks to being a digital
citizen. However, due to socioeconomic
status, location, and other disabilities-
some individuals may not have digital
access. Digital access is available in
many remote countries via cyber cafรฉs
and small coffee shops.
Digital Commerce:
โ€ข This is the ability for users to
recognize that much of the
economy is regulated online. It also
deals with the understanding of the
dangers and benefits of online
buying, using credit cards online,
and so forth.
Digital Commerce:
โ€ข As with the advantages and legal
activities- there is also dangerous
activities such as illegal downloads,
gambling, drug deals, pornography,
plagiarism, and so forth.
Digital Communication:
โ€ข This element deals with
understanding the variety of online
communication mediums such as
email, instant messaging, FB
messenger, the variety of apps, and
so forth. There is a standard of
etiquette associated with each
medium.
Digital Literacy:
โ€ข This deals with the
understanding of how to use
various digital devices. It is
ability and knowledge needed to
learn and teach using
technology tools
Digital Etiquette:
โ€ข This is the expectation that
various mediums require a
variety of etiquette. Certain
mediums demand more
appropriate behavior and
language than others
Digital Law:
โ€ข This is where enforcement
occurs for illegal downloads,
plagiarizing, hacking, creating
viruses, sending spams, identity
theft, cyberbullying, and so forth
Digital Rights and
Responsibilities:
โ€ขThis is the set of rights
that digital citizens have
such as privacy, speech,
and so forth.
Digital Health:
โ€ข Digital citizens must be aware of
the physical stress placed on their
bodies by internet usage. They
must be aware to not become
overly dependent on the internet
causing eye strain, headaches,
stress problems, and so on.
Digital Security:
โ€ข This simply means that citizens
must take measures to be safe
by practicing using difficult
passwords, virus protection,
backing up data, and so forth.
