- 1. Building Digital Communication Skills
- 2. About Alex Wills I have worked for years trying to better understand people and their lives. I have volunteered in both Americorps and Peace Corps and have worked in a number of non-profit organizations and school systems. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a masters degree in sociology. For the past several years I have worked as an ethnographer, which means I have traveled the U.S. and the world to spend time with people and learn about their lives so that companies can learn more about the people who buy their products. I have been lucky enough to make a living learning about the world around me. Thank you for having me.

Notes de l'éditeur
- We live in a digital world – digital realities – so much of life occurring in digital spacesTons of debate about how technology should be used with teens – at home and at school
- Ask participants what they want to get out of the workshop: and note it – if at the end a topic isn’t covered we will talk about it but likely most will be covered Note a lot of fear-based tactics and negative information – want to focus on positive things we can do – fear is a temporary motivator (talk about Harvard and about COPD cop story)
- Want to be explicit we will touch on all these things – woven together -talking about things we can do to make ourselves safe, more supported and have more positive, productive experiences –ADD REVISED TOPICS
- Talk about photo – Jodi’s 5-year-old
- Want to make sure they understand I am not going to ask anyone personal questions, if I do ask questions it’s general informationSupport is available from school counselors, parents and trusted adults (teens, think about who those people are – if something comes up talk to someone)
- What this tells us is that digital world not slowing down and not going awayI learned a lot of things preparing this and reviewing the research – things I can do better to protect privacy (and even some things I wasn’t doing !)Research shows that while kids are seen as experts by their parents using technology, in reality they aren’t the creators and developers – video about guy who talked about value in improving technological proficiencyEmbracing learning about how to use technology effectively and safelyGetting paid to do this

- Things that are important to them right now - note to them about employers – something they will think more about as they get older
- Tweens now will be online for more of their lives than today's adults. They will have large digital footprint due to time. As an example, google yourself to show them what comes up about you. Want a positive digital footprint, not a negative one.Invite them to think about as driving metaphor – don’t just jump in and drive – take classes, ride with parents, pass a test, then rules about where can go, with whom, etc. [mention law in Seattle about teens driving with other teens]
- Adolescent brain – research – UCLA – neuroscientist – tested adults and teens – had them play video games while inside fMRI scanner to measure activity in different parts of their brainsResponse pattern of teens essentially the same response curve of seasoned drug addict – reward center can’t be stimulated by low doses – need big jolt to get pleasure. “in exciting real-life circumstances, this rational part of the brain gets overriden by the reward center
- Research shows adults don’t really think much about this – and if they are not, what about kids? 61% of adults don’t pay attention to digital footprint
- This is important – but only a piece – reactiveThink about what you do when you want to research a product – do the same thing on yourself.One or two tips for adults – here for daughters I for parent if haven’t checked own digital footprint do that
- This is important – but only a piece – reactiveThink about what you do when you want to research a product – do the same thing on yourself/as a family.Story about Gracy’sfb page (anonymize) Environmental scan:In social networks where you have a profileIn places you frequent [chat rooms, im, etc.] general google/bing searchAsk what online spaces kids are in these days? Note.What thikn about what posted – nice comments, what mean? Is it nice, mean? Look at critically – what would someone think about only you based on what you posted.

- Our job is to suggest one way to help kids use the Internet safely and intelligently. Not because we want parents to spy on their kids but because we want the parents to be able to easily discuss issues with the kids that arise.Teach to drive – be on their own at some point encourage to get kids on their own
- Holiday card study – talk about how we saw moms actually using internet and clicking away intuitively and randomly – INSERT ANOTHER SLIDE – PERMANENCE OF IT – ABILITY FOR INFORMATION TO GET FORWARDED – DO YOU KNOW HOW TO COPY AND PASTE – SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE – ANOTHER SLIDE – REASONS TO THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

FIND OUT HOW MANY – LEGAL AGE CAN USE FACEBOOK ACCORDING TO TERMS OF SERVICE 13 – let them know they are there – put on tip sheet – here’s where go to get instructions to adjust privacy settings – facebook constantly changing something – includes privacy settingsTalk about prevention and going through heart hospital with its director and he said we aren’t very good in this society at prevention. Same thing applies here – so much reactive information, so much fear-based information. Let’s look at simply things you CAN do to make yourself safer and improve your privacy. These things will help with all of scary stuff out there.Activity – go throughfacebook privacy settingsGive attorney general brochures
- This is probably one of the most important skills to learn about in digital spaces – offline and online interactDigital communications IS differentExperts rate up to 80% of communication is non-verbal – in digital spaces we don’t have those things – tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, use of body space, etc.Talk about research study on comm and generations – biggest problem everyone talked about was text messages or IMs or messages getting misinterpreted- talk about language – talk about impression managementActivity – scenario – story and ask people how interpret – give to two girls
- The book How to Talk so Teens Wills Listen and Listen So Teens Will TalkVery specific stuff and steps and scenarios and types of communication, but generally, this is some of what they recommendAlso work in education – feedback, Nurture shock also talked about this in inverse power of praiseOn brainstorming and compromise – researchers found- teens divide world into categories of control – certain things parents have the right to control over but certain things that are solely in their control – tension comes when parents and teens don’t always agree what goes on in which category – what affects only the teens or that affects others – another opportunity to talk about creating life skills - What does brainstorming means – ok to come up with lots of ideas and choose from As a parent there are things you will not compromise onActivity?
- About inquiry – talk about my job really getting people to open up and share their lives – learned more than I ever dreamed possibleIt’s inductive [upside down triangle] – instead of going into a situation thinking we have the answers and we are ‘looking’ to prove or disprove what we think we know, we enter a situation with open eyes and open ears – without expectation or thinking we know the answer. Good to do with parents and kids, for classmates, for everyone!Explain reference bias and what we know about working in research and surprises we learn. Talk about the value of going into a situation assuming we don’t know the answer and seeking the details and information to help us understand what’s happening – walking in someone else’s shoesWe all have bias – lens – seeing the world a certain way and acting towards people and situations based on how we ‘think’ they areWe want to understand how things happen over time, too. If a friend of yours usually isn’t mean and one day she really snaps at you, well, it’s not something that always happens. So maybe there’s something going on she could use your support with. Then again, if someone is consistently acting like an “unhealthy friend” you will want to understand that so you can make a choice about how you want to interact with her
- Remember what I talked about digital communication?have 2 girls read a script in which they relay an overhead conversation. Have a 3rd girl write down 1 phrase she hears. Hand that paper to a 4th girl who has been out of the room. Ask the 4th girl to guess what is happening. Show how we interpret based upon snippets. We do it offline and even more so online.
