You have responsibility online in this digital world!

Post to:

  • Help others.
  • Be positive.
  • Share what you learned to help others learn.

  • Get help.
  • “Make the positives so loud that the negatives drown out.”

Ask:

  • What online spaces do you already know about?
  • What are you comfortable with sharing online?
  • What would you find if you ‘googled’ yourself? What can we find about each other? A 5 minute challenge: Look at what each others digital citizenship is now (google each other). Ask yourself: Is this the image you want for yourself?
  • How do you comment on others work? How do you praise someone else’s work without using 20 emojis that do not make sense? Compliment, comment, connect, question.
  • Are you safe? Are you making a responsible post?
  • How can you create a positive footprint in any space online?
  • What are the future possibilities of going online?

Make sure you know to:

  • Ask permission to post other people or their work.
  • Think about what you post. Once it is on the internet, it is on the internet.
  • If researching, make sure to get information posted from a reliable source. Is the post you’re making true?
