What will happen in your session?

During the session, participants will have a chance to board a time machine and go back to a time when their lives weren't documented from birth to death. This time travel trip will give participants a chance to reflect on how different their lives were would have been. Then return to today and split into groups to discuss different subjects handed out by the facilitator. Participants will then be given time to plan their digital legacy. There will be a debriefed and time to share out with the whole group.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

How understanding internet health can help youth, caregivers, and adults protect & plan for their own digital legacy. This session will walk participants through a time in life when everything about their life, from birth to death, wasn't documented by the internet.

By the end of the session, participants will walk away with a plan to understand, protect and plan their own digital legacy.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

I would only need a projector during the session.

Time needed

60 mins

Unfortunately we didn't think this session was quite right for the Digital Inclusion space this year. I'm removing the milestone to allow other spaces to consider your proposal. @flukeout @ArtsAward this could be interesting for either of your spaces.

[Mike321123]

Thanks for the update and the suggestion to the other space, @kenyatta1!

@flukeout @ArtsAward -- I’d absolutely love the opportunity to share this idea! I’m really excited about the conversation & planning that could be born from it, especially in a space like MozFest!

Let me know if there is anything else I can do or add to the conversation.

Thanks! Michael

[Mike321123]

Thank you for the positive comment and suggesting the session to the other spaces Wranglers, @sedgwickkm -- much appreciated!

[EPIKhub]

@Mike321123 Youth Zone Wrangler here; If we was able to offer you a space for your session would you be able to cover your own travel and accomodation costs?

[Mike321123]

@EPIKhub Thank you for considering me, I'd really like the opportunity! Can you give me a day to see if I can figure out travel costs?

[Mike321123]

@EPIKhub - If I am able to cover my own hotel costs, would you be able to help with my flight?

[EPIKhub]

Sorry @Mike321123 the Mozilla stipends covers all or none of the cost; we are not allowed to split them up in that way.

[Mike321123]

@EPIKhub - I can make it happen without the stipend! Please add me to your roster! Yay! Thank you!!!

[EPIKhub]

@Mike321123 thanks for the update, Ill progress you to the next stage of the youth social action track.

[Mike321123]

@EPIKhub - Thank you!

[Mike321123]

Update: I've been building out some pretty cool experiential activities with the aim of engaging everyone into this topic. Currently playing around with this really cool visualization where everyone can explore different parts of their past, present, and future in the context of how they are or have been perceived on the internet based on where we are in time. I'm excited to spark a discussion and am especially interested getting the youth voice at this session. These activities really will be key to the co-planning process that is mentioned in the session. Would love to talk through this and get feedback, ideas, and thoughts from anyone.

Hi Mike, the youth zone like this session and would like to accept it, however could you please be more specific on how you aim to have the time travel element incorporated in the session? What your visualization tool looks like?

[Mike321123]

Absolutely, @shwetal27! I'm excited to hear Youth Zone likes the session!

I plan to kick the session off with an activity I am calling “The Sharing Line” -- think human barometer. I will be showing a series of digital posting examples (e.g., text, photos, blogs, videos, etc.) and asking the participants to self-select how comfortable they would be if the on-screen example had been them or about them. After participants have moved to respective spots on the line, we will take a group reflection moment to hear from a few participants willing to share from various points on the line. (Please note, the line scale values will depend on the question -- it may be a "1-2-3-4-5" Likert-type scale or "Agree, Neutral, Disagree".

“The Sharing Line” activity helps the participants transition into the Time Machine visualization exercise. This is a group guided imagery activity that asks participants to take trips into their past & their future. While visiting different moments in their life (past & future), participants will be prompted at different spots to stumble on to the internet and begin to visualize their documented history and how they are viewed 100+ years from now. Participants return from their trips into the past & future to the present day -- MozFest 2017. From this point, we will share participant Time Machine experiences and finish the session by starting a Digital Legacy plan. These plans can be taken back, worked on and later submitted as evidence to receive a “Digital Legacy Plan” open-badge.

@shwetal27 -- let me know if this is helpful or if you'd like more info. I want the session to be fun while also placing an emphasis on awareness and intentionality. If you think it's helpful, I am available to jump on a skype call, just let me know.

[shwetal27]

@Mike321123 will the initial sharing line be them time travelling then? Would be good to have a certain age range in mind for this, the youth zone attracts someone as young as 8 to someone that is 25, identifying an ideal mix of content to show in between these age ranges would be good.

The idea of the Digital Legacy Plan sounds great, we have asked another session facilitator to submit a Manifesto by the youth, so this legacy plan would be a good thing to showcase at the end of the fest too.

I am happy with the session submission, as long as it is relevant to the youth culture reflection. But very creative!

[Mike321123]

@shwetal27, great questions. Yes, the sharing line process will incorporate an element of time travel.

Thank you for the age range suggestion around the content – that’s helpful! So far I’ve been trying to create content that that will be applicable to people born between 1950 – 2008, so am staying in the range. I will keep the 8-25 age range in mind as I move forward.

I’m glad you like the Digital Legacy Plan. I’m excited to see how the youth Manifesto unfolds and would love to integrate the Digital Legacy Plans into the showcase -- that sounds awesome!

All that said, I feel confident that the content and ideas for the session work in the youth culture reflection. The youth experience at my session is a priority! I really think the digital badging component of the session will be an attractor!

I'm excited about the session -- please let me know if there is anything else I can share.

[shwetal27]

@Mike321123 yes the digital badge idea is great too, @EPIKhub we can gamify this and other sessions by adding badges that can maybe give lead to winning a freebie at the end of the fest?

[Mike321123]

@shwetal27 - I just wanted to check-in with you & see if there was anything else I can share with you about the session. I like your idea around gamification! I can be available for a skype call, just let me know.

[shwetal27]

Hi @Mike321123 I am happy with the session the way it is flowing now, I am not available to skype until Monday next week, so if there is anything in particular you would like to discuss let me know

[Mike321123]

@shwetal27 - does this mean the session is accepted?

[shwetal27]

Yes congratulations, the youth zone have accepted this session
