Digital Literacy - Words and Music by Dale Mieske, March 2010 media type="file" key="Digital Literacy 2.mp3" width="240" height="20" Seems we’re spending more time on the web, and watching less TV. I guess it’s time we learned a few more, digital ABC’s. It’s a digital world we all agree. So let's travel it together - carefully.

We all think we have a right, right, right, So we click on an “app.” and type, type, type, But - let’s do it all responsibly. It’s time for you and me pal to learn some digital literacy.

Some go online, to buy and sell, How can we be safe and still do it well? We’ll need some laws to show the way. Don’t download things unless you’re wiling to pay

We’re all confused about etiquette, For Twitter and Facebook - just watch your text! Cause it’s up there for all to see, It’s hard to take them back, so choose your words carefully

Well we stand up straight, and we eat our greens But do we think of health when we watch the screen? Let’s make good choices me and you, Take frequent breaks to protect your vision too.

Out on the street we safely play When we go online we need to do the same? Not everyone’s a stranger - not all are friends. Think safety first before you trust someone on the other end.

Want to fill out a survey stay in control, Never give out your full name - “No,no,no!” We need to ”surf” responsibly So put mom or dad in the pilot’s seat - if you please.

We all think we have a right, right, right, So we click on an “app.” and we type, type, type. But let’s do it all responsibly. Cause you and me friend we are the digital citizenry Back up your data. Use surge protection for electrical corrections, You’ll thank me later! Yes you and me friend, we’re learning some digital literacy
