Digital citizenship involves teaching users the rules of
good citizenship online. Everyone needs
to realize that once something is put on the internet, be it comments,
pictures, videos, etc, it is there to stay.
Today’s social media is bigger than ever and growing at astounding
rates. Having good netiquette is crucial
these days to protect yourself and others.
We can never be too careful with our personal information especially
today on the internet with cyber stalkers and hackers waiting for their next
unsuspecting victims.
Educators
especially need to heed caution when posting comments or personal pictures,
videos, etc. We are held to a higher
standard than most professionals and many things can be seen as a bad
reflection on our careers. Many
companies are searching online for information about applicants before they consider
them for employment. Unattractive things
online about an applicant could hinder them from being hired and even cause
current employees of companies to lose their positions.
I think it is very important for everyone to be aware of the
dangers of revealing too much about themselves online.
