Hi Everyone,
While researching how I can help my students keep their digital foot prints clean, I came across two websites and a poster that I think you will all appreciate. Enjoy! -Jessica
The website below has great information on how teachers can educate students about their digital footprint.
The poster below was found on an elementary school's website for their computer lab. I love it because the web page is written in kid-friendly terms. The poster below really sets the stage and ask students pro-active questions, allowing them to reflect before they post.
I LOVE THIS POSTER!!! :) I cannot wait to print it out and use in my class. It will be taped up right above our computer. I plan to tell the students that this poster represents my expectations for them inside and outside of the classroom, as well as they should hold this expectations for themselves. I want them to know how much their reputation matters, and it needs to start at a young age. Starting the students off with trying to keep their digital footprint clean at a young age will hopefully begin to become a habitat and not an afterthought. I believe that there is no way to eliminate your digital footprint and therefore, students need to be pro-active and not retro active in keeping their footprint clean.
