Digital identify and safety & security - Tuesday
View all 4 videos below and have a class discussion. Some conversation starters:
Digital Identity
1. What online rules do you make for yourself? These are not the rules that your parents/families have in place. If you don’t make rules for yourself, what kind of rules would you like to start?
2. Do you feel there is pressure to be someone you are not when on a social networking site? Have you ever enhanced your profile or lied about something you did just to appear different?
3. Why do you think things posted online tend to persist, even when you prefer they didn't? Answer
4. What kinds of things might be good for your reputation in the future if they are posted online now? What kinds of things might be harmful? (some talking points)
5. Consider the popular phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words." What does this mean to you; does it take on a new meaning when referring to digital identities.
6. Do you post things online about your friends? Do you comment on or tag their posts or photos? How do you decide what is okay?
7. It is important to protect both your digital identity and the digital identity of the people you know. Brainstorm some questions to ask yourself before posting anything online about yourself or another person. (some talking points)
Safety and Security
Internet safety is often thought of in terms of online predators and risky relationships, but there are other safety measures that should also be taken.
