Over the last few weeks my class has been talking about
digital citizenship. We have talked about how people misrepresent themselves
and what the consequences are for those who represent themselves in a rude or
offensive manner. To me digital citizenship
is acting appropriately and representing yourself in a proper true and
respectful manner.
My presence online I believe fits me well. Since I am a
student athlete and I’m going to continue playing a sport in college it is
important for me to be careful about what I post online. I cannot say them same
for all of my friends on social media most of my true friends are good about
what I post but some people that are friends on my profiles may not always
conduct themselves in a manner that represents them in a good light. I don’t
think people that do that really think that what they do in their personal free
time can affect other parts of their life. They also think they are to young
for anything they say now to matter in a few years.

I find it very interesting that so many teenagers don't believe how posting this stuff on social media can hurt their creditability. So many stories on the news about these situations. I hope kids take this into consideration. Good information!

it is refreshing that you have made good choices and understand the ramifications of putting too much personal information or inappropriate content out on the web. Too many teenagers get caught up in it and it is true that stuff will follow you for the rest of your life. Many employers are checking Facebook now and it can have an effect on getting the job you want.
ReplyDeleteIf it’s out in cyberspace it is forever, even if you delete it – it is out there somewhere. I’m glad you have chosen to be smart about it and not buy in to what everyone else is doing. Good for you.
