Digital Citizenship
Branding/Reputation
Your online presence is your "branding/reputation".
- What you post, like, retweet, comment- all of that determines your reputation.
- When online, you want to make sure that you always think before you do anything.
- People often judge what type of person you are by how you act online.
- Employers often look to see how you act online. They do not want someone who represents themselves negatively to work for them.
Digital Footprint
Your digital footprint is the mark you leave from your online activities.
- If you post something on the internet, you leave a mark.
- Do you remember that picture you posted three years ago? That's a part of your digital footprint.
- You want to have a positive digital footprint- it'll affect your future!
- Before you ever do something/post something on the internet, stop and think: "Will I be glad that I posted this ten years from now?"
WHAT NOT TO DO ON THE INTERNET
- DO NOT post rude, negative, or offensive comments.
- DO NOT give out personal information like full birth dates, address, credit card information, etc.
- DO NOT start any form of drama online. Take care of your conflicts offline and responsibly.
- DO NOT stay logged in on community computers.
- DO NOT leave your social networking sites without privacy settings.
