2010 Summer C@P Youth Program

Along with regular C@P duties and site projects, this summer our Youth Interns explored, tested and promoted Open Source Software.   A resource site was created that lists some of the open source software currently available.

 

 

Digital citizenship isn’t just about recognizing and dealing with online hazards. It’s about building safe spaces and communities,  understanding how to manage personal information, and about being Internet savvy– using your online presence to grow and shape your world in a safe, creative way, and inspiring others to do the same.

Summer Youth Interns also researched what it meant to be a “Digital Citizen” and how it applied to them, to C@P and to C@P users.  Interns learned the 9 Themes of Digital Citizenship.  Interns had the opportunity to participate in a NSC@P Provincial Digital Citizenship Competition.  Students submitted  a portfolio of works demonstrating their digital citizenship:

  • -1 big project focused on 1 of the 9 Digital Aspects
  • -5 small tasks on 5 other different Digital Citizen Aspects
  • -A 200 word Introduction and Defense paper

ICCNS was grouped with Richmond County for a primary judging round.  1st Place winner for our region was Kelly Sampson, Richmond County and second place winner was Taylor Thorne, Port Hood.
