Datos Inteligentes

4  Aumentar la conciencia sobre la privacidad de los datos y la protección de los derechos digitales de los niños y niñas ante las autoridades escolares y la comunidad educativa en general.  Desarrollar un conjunto de recursos educativos de libre acceso en español e inglés, incluida la aplicación FriendSend, que los docentes y las familias pueden utilizar para mejorar la alfabetización en redes sociales de los preadolescentes. Abstract Data Smart: Developing Personal Data Literacies in Pre-Teens is a research project funded by the National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII) and Fundación Ceibal. Working with children (aged 8-12 years) in Uruguay and Australia, the aim of the program is to develop understanding of personal data so they can better manage and protect their privacy online. The children used an educational social media application (‘app’), FriendSend, for a period of three weeks and participated in a series of workshops designed to build these young users’ knowledge of the technical features of social media platforms and how personal data are produced and processed as a consequence of use. The Data Smart Kids program was developed in collaboration with students and teachers at participating schools through an iterative design process. We worked with Uruguayan and Australian preteens, with the aim of carrying out a study with comparative aspects, exploring how preteens students understand and relate to social networks and the way in which their personal data is produced and processed during their use. The aims of the Data Smart Kids program are to: • Build better understanding of how digital identities are constructed through use of social media, as well as improving participant’s knowledge of the technical and social issues associated with online privacy.
