Nearly every aspect of our everyday lives has been affected or transformed by digital world. While being in the digital world everyone has to take precautions and understand why it is important to know our place in the digital world. The digital world these days has become much more scarier and therefore everyone must be careful. In the Digital world these days our personal information and data can be easily accessed or hacked by whoever can gain access to it.
This information can be very private and confidential and in the hands of someone dangerous can be used against us and result in very threatening consequences. Therefore this is the main reason of scamming and invading ones privacy. However sometimes with the help of the digital world we can connect real-time with friends and family anywhere in the world. We can also connect with those who were previously out of reach, such as celebrities or politicians.
This ensures that we are closer to each other than ever before. It can bring future opportunities for work and career. But on the bad side, it can also bring great harm and stress – especially for a child who does not know how to use the internet thoughtfully. Fake news is nothing new. But, what is new is how easy it's become to share information both true and false on a massive scale. therefore developing these skills is very important. Checking the source and identifying the news is very important.
That’s why these days they are plenty of websites related to it. Also many people enjoy online shopping but they don’t think how risky it might be. Big companies and stores are not always trustworthy they might have technical issues. A lot of people are a victims of scamming through the digital world, as when the client buys a particular product they wouldn’t receive it or when the seller sells his/her product the seller wouldn’t receive the money from the client.
They are many others ways of scamming through the digital world. But thanks to the digital world hundreds of students are studying online and that’s why the digital world has a big development for ones education. In conclusion the digital world has its own advantages and disadvantages and to analyze all of this we must understand first our place in the digital world.

Digital technologies have become an integral part of modern and everyday life. With the development of technology, the frequency and scale of their consumption increases. Consequently, the question of how harmful or beneficial their use in our age is and becoming more and more relevant. The pandemic has created a new reality where systems can be managed remotely, people can work online, and customers can get the service or product they want without leaving home faster and cheaper than usual.
Discovering and developing new opportunities in a crisis is challenging, yet exciting and successful. Yes, this is where I see myself, this is our reality. The key is to know how to find true information and how to distinguish it from false.

We know “everything” about digital world. We found or places in the digital world.
Many thanks to project author and participants, especially my dear teacher Mrs. Shushana tarieladze.

We should be very careful while using the internet.The scammers can reach all the information of the person, so we need to say nothing to the scammer, these scammers can learn from our ID number or name and surname, so we should not trust everyone and give our information.

In fact, Internet addiction is very harmful. Unfortunately most of the people use the internet too much, that's why we depend on technology.
It makes it difficult for you to communicate
with other people and make new friends
I consider myself not a technology addict in
this digital environment so I feel lucky.

Possession of digital technologies is essential And the pandemic especially highlighted the need for its use. Necessity.Internet helps me a lot without it it is unthinkable to have a human today, I hear a lot of interesting stories, I look for information, I watch movies, I choose pictures, I choose, but I often come across a lot of false information that I do not like.
I want to say that along with many positives it also has negative consequences, There are trolls and bots, i.e.
very clever programmers who encrypt social network code and access our personal data, it's very bad, And in return we need to be more knowledgeable so that we do not allow them to do so.
I do not like pandemics very much, but once I told my teacher Nona, "Some plagues are beneficial - I said" Do you know why? Lots of new programs or resources we have learned, working in Tims has taught us many new things, Messenger alone is nothing without having as many tools as Tims.
The Internet is a very necessary thing, but we need to know how to use it properly.

I am very happy to be involved in this project. I got involved. At first I did not understand what I needed to learn, so I thought I knew how to work on the Internet and I would learn something, but it was not like that. Finding information and making presentations alone was not the key. I learned what a media literate person should be like and what they should know. We came up with an interesting scenario and made a short film on how to protect ourselves from uncomfortable situations that may happen to us while working on the Internet.
It was very interesting to work on it, we also thought of a character and chose a completely different name, we did not want our friend to be affected, As if he were another child (but no one else should have happened, we just did not want to hurt him).
Cyberbullying is a major problem and it can threaten anyone, I have learned a lot on this topic. Bad results have a negative impact on all children, people and because of this many people are in danger.
We should use the Internet, but beware that it is not good for health to sit at the computer for a long time, it hurts the eyes and the head. I learned a lot, I learned how to defend myself and how to distinguish between true and false stories.

Digital world is the most important part of our century. Nowdays. Everybody’s life is connected with the internet, that’s why this project was so experienced. Receiving and giving information is not important, we should interested in information sources. Also, it’s important to distinguish information whether it’s true or false. We should protect our private data.
Working on this project, we learnt lots of things about electronic platforms, which increase our digital literacy level considerably.
One of the positive side of this project is our participation with pupils from different grades.
We can say that, the project ,,my place in the digital world’’, was very actual and useful for every student.

We learnt a lot with this project ,,my place in the digital world’’. We discussed cyber bullying, true and false information. Also we discussed, how should we distinguish them from each other. We took photos and put them in different social media. But, we understood that, but for this our parents should allow us.
Besides that, we study violence games, which may be dangerous for every student.
Especially we are interested in cyber bullying, so-called ,,Hackers’’, who break human’s pages and understand their private data. But we learnt how to avoid this fact, in which this project helped us.

In the past, school textbooks were the primary source of knowledge for students. How boring each of us remembers. Now computers make it possible to draw on the resources of knowledge around the world in various forms: articles, quizzes, movies, online lectures, podcasts and a lot of other things. When we learn or do our homework, we can find such sources of knowledge and a form of elaborating the assigned topics that will be attractive to us and will match our learning style.
Thanks to computers, teachers can assign tasks to their students much more varied than in the past. In addition to traditional worksheets and workbook assignments, you can
use quizzes, online exercise platforms, and a variety of interactive tools. This makes learning both more attractive to students and more multifaceted.
For some children, the computer keyboard is a tool that allows them to write longer texts. Children who find it difficult or even painful to write by hand for a variety of reasons can keep up with school requirements thanks to the fact that they have a computer with a word processor at their disposal.
During the pandemic, online lessons were the dominant computing activity for many students. Live connections with the teacher and the whole class are the closest to what children
are used to in school and what they need - we are together, we learn together, we experience together. Video communication is important here, because in a situation where everyone is at home, it provides a substitute for the social contact that children very much need. Online lessons are not only about learning, but also being in a group.

Computer games have become a modern digital playground - a place for fun and rest from school. They shouldn't be the only or dominant pastime, but this digital backyard is part of the modern world and childhood, whether we like it or not. And computer games are not "evil itself", they can be and are developing, creative and, importantly, they meet the essential needs of children and teenagers.
What do kids need games for? The role of computer games in meeting the important needs of children and adolescents is particularly visible now, during the pandemic. When opportunities to participate in the real world are limited
and meetings with colleagues are impossible, the digital playground has become a way to maintain relationships and have fun together, to disconnect from reality full of stresses and enjoy yourself. It's good if games aren't the only way to satisfy them.

As far as I know we use the internet very often and for that we use modern technologies. Such as: computer and mobile phone.
If you want to find your place in the digital world, then you have to always follow the rules that are very important. First of all you must have an encrypted password and do not share personal information because as we have learned from teacher presentations, there are people who are smart and they are called hackers. So encrypt your password in a way that a hacker can not guess.
If someone has done something wrong to us, or upset us, we should let the parents know and disconnect from them. If you want to make friends with someone, first find out who that person is and what they represent, and the knowledge gained in the project will help us, and then you can get to know them. Tell your parents about the acquaintance and it will be good if you do not go alone to meet them, you should go with friends. If you follow these rules, then you will find your place in the digital world.

Should the Internet exist and should the student use it?
In my opinion, the use of digital technology is essential for modern man because so many people use it in their daily lives. For example, banking operations, when buying a product in a store, medical institutions ...
In my opinion, a large part of the parents are against the use of the Internet for their children because it is dangerous and harmful to their health. But I believe that as a student, I have information about the security of personal data, so I can travel safely in the digital world.
We know that some children play dangerous games that cause a lot of illness. I already know from the project that there are such dangerous games. I have heard before, but I did not know how to defend myself. I now have the knowledge on how to travel safely in the digital world. I believe that my place really is in this world. I still have a lot to learn, but I think I will gain more knowledge by participating in various projects and I will be safe. It will even help me to be a successful, educated person.

Over time, communication technologies have become quite sophisticated and developed, which is a very important and step forward for humanity. Through it we can easily and correctly communicate with each other, find information - improve knowledge, which is necessary and important for us. The question is: Is my place in the digital world? Communication technologies have become an everyday and integral part of society, a large part of society is a digital citizen. However, some people believe that it is the fault of the people.

I partially agree with this view and think that the internet plays a pretty big role in maintaining relationships with people. For example, maintaining a relationship with a loved one abroad. Make new friends on social media. However, we should not forget the most important things, observe the profile and take into account the knowledge gained from the project.
Quite often there are cases when people become addicted and can not imagine existence without all this. They prefer to sit between the four walls and watch the monitor over having fun and spending time with family and friends.
I think human relationships, finding and using information depend on how people use it and by no means should we blame technology. I conclude that my place is in the digital world, I like it and I try not to use it for bad purposes.

Nowadays Internet plays an important role in our everyday lives. We can do many things on the Internet: communicate with friends, look for some information and have fun. But we have to know some rules and dangers when we are on the internet. I am going to support my opinion with some arguments.
First of all we have to log on the suitable websites. Because there are many harmful sites and we have to avoid their influence.
Secondly we have to distinguish true information from false information. For that reason we mustn’t share anything if we don’t know it is true or false information.
To sum up Internet is very useful for us, but we have to know how to navigate safely.

I can’t imagine our lives without Internet access. It makes our lives easier, but it has some disadvantages too. I’ll try to support my opinion with some arguments.
Firstly we may encounter on unsuitable websites and their influence isn’t preferable. We have to know which sites are suitable for us.
Secondly many viruses may appear in our mobile phones or in our computers when we watch some videos and they may damage our appliances. It is important to know safe navigation.
In conclusion, we have to visit trustful sites and navigate safely to avoid some troubles.

In 21st century, we live in a rapidly changing, highly technological world, where the present day digital technology affects several parts of our lives. At work, people use digital technology to communicate, gather information and solve problems, a growing number of people also use digital technology at home, to keep in touch with friends and family, play games, participate in online forums and interact with others.
First of all, through digital websites, apps, and other digital platforms nobody is isolated in the digital world.
News and local events update users about what’s happening around them and across the globe. Another major advantage of modern digital technology is that it has made all devices and gadgets portable and handy.
Secondly, you can pursue your hobbies and interests through the use of digital technology. You can play online games and admit in music courses from any part of the world. Different types of tv and reality shows are found on the internet which we can access with digital devices. Moreover, the face-to-face communication is rare these days with the development of digital technology.
People can communicate and socialize through the internet which is a part of digital technology. People communicate with each other on social media websites and mobile apps, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram etc.
In addition, The Internet and other kinds of technology also allow students to access extra information that may not have been covered in class. Similarly, it's cheaper to subscribe to online journals and books. In my opinion, this expands access to knowledge and opportunity.
Finally, I strongly believe that, digital technologies improved our everyday life but digital technologies are not just about being able to use a computer a phone or a tablet, digital technologies are about understanding how these technologies are used.

Nowadays the digital world is getting wider and wider. More and more people use technologies. People can’t live without them.
Where is our place in the digital world? This is not an easy question. We often use internet in spite of our wish. We need to search necessary information, attend online lessons, chat our friends, watch educational videos…
But it is important how to use safe internet. We know that it is a good point to change password frequently.
In conclusion we can say that it was a very useful and informative project and we learnt many things from it.

There is a digital epoch nowadays. People are addict on digital devices. They can’t imagine to live without them.
Now we want to tell you about ourselves. How often do we use modern technologies? We can say not very often but we cannot say ,never’. There is a need of using digital devices, which helps you to find information, play interesting games, read the stories online and so on. So, we use it but we have learnt to use the safe internet and we are glad for it. At last, we can say that we have learnt many things from the project.
Now we know how to use safe internet and we are more confident after this project.

Nowadays, we depend on our cell phones for everything. We use them to watch films, listen to music, text our friends, play games, and search the information. We are always online. We are available for our friends, families 24/7.
While using internet we should consider several tips: be positive, use friendly language, recheck information on the other sites, don’t trust and share fake information, follow and comment other users posts. When you do this, they are more likely to post comments on your posts. Communicate with your followers.
Make them feel like they are part of a community. We can share our feelings, ideas and thoughts with them.
If we use digital world wisely, we will have better knowledge about the universe and not only. Internet is the powerful tool in the modern society. And this tool must be used properly. If we want to be well aware and informed in every aspect, this great tool is next to you to help. So being a part of our universe and stay safe in the digital world!

My peers and I live in the world of technology, often referred to us as "digital aborigines" as if we were born with technology. What seemed unattainable to my parents is self-evident to me, to my generation - it should have been. For me and my peers, the internet and access to technology are one and the same. However, it is difficult to find a place in this vast space. And still, where is my place in the digital world? This is a question that bothers a lot of people. How to protect yourself from cyberbullying? We have to think about these and many other questions. The main and important thing is that I learned how to verify the information, how to find out if the information is reliable, how to protect myself from cyber-violence, and to give relevant advice to others, my peers.

Where is my place in the digital world? Today is the 21st century, we are in fact the children of the digital world. Technologies are evolving in such a way that it is difficult to draw the line between the real and the virtual world. Each of us has to establish connections both with relatives abroad and with those in Georgia. Mobile phone has become our daily necessity. We use the Internet more and more, especially me and my peers are obsessed with online games, which as we have learned are accompanied by great dangers, excessive involvement in games can make each of us a victim, not only online games, such dangers can be caused by the use of social networks, messengers. Therefore, we need to know how to protect our personal data, it is important to inform our peers and parents that everyone should use the Internet purposefully, to acquire and strengthen the relevant knowledge and skills.
After all, the Internet is the best way for our development, our advancement!

Hello, I am Nutsa . I am from Georgia. I study at Tbilisi Public School N167. I am a 2nd grade student. I love learning especially math and computers. I love my teacher Rusudan because he is very smart and hardworking. I learned about this project from Rusudan teacher.
Where is my place in the digital world? This is a very difficult question for me because I have never thought about it so I am not sure if my dream is achievable. I think my place will be in the office where I can create the same programs, websites or robots. In my opinion, in the future I can invent any platform (e.g. Google or Microsoft), I believe I will create my company for my purposes and for the future.

My dream is to work in a factory where I can make smart robots with human builds for our future. I believe I will make robots that will simplify people’s daily lives on a daily basis. For example, robots can make food, clean houses and clean streets. It is true that robots will not have human intelligence, but I am sure they will be able to do more physical work in the hours that humans spend days and weeks. I hope people do not take this new invention badly and do not spread rumors like today about the vaccine and get it as it will be.
