An overview of what digital citizenship means for all of us - adults & students. Created with my good friend and colleague, Dena Budrecki (@denabud on Twitter)

1. Digital
Citizenship
Part 1

2. Posting on the Web
Do you need a social media makeover?

3. The internet is not written in pencil it
is written in ink.
~Social Network the Movie
Teens, Social Media, & Privacy

4. Think Before You Post!
Deleting something you’ve said doesn’t
necessarily make it go away.
92% of retweets happen within one
hour of the tweet being posted.

5. Know Who’s Viewing Your Posts
Check and adjust your
privacy settings to
ensure you aren't
sharing anything you
don't want to.

6. Would Your Posts Effect Current or
Future Employment?
● Don't be afraid to share your personal
opinions but consider who you are
communicating with and be mindful of the
lasting impact of your words.

7. Gauge the Culture of the Site
● Your contribution should be valuable, and relevant. If it isn’t, don’t post!
● Debate politely; respect other people’s opinions, even if you disagree with
them.

8. Give Proper Credit
Just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s free to share or download..
● Copyright
● Creative Commons

9. Build Your Own Brand
EVERYTHING you post becomes your personal brand. USE social media to
reate,
ollaborate and
ONSTRUCT your own brand image.

10. ● What are others saying about you?
● Have you been sharing a positive image of yourself with the world?
Google Yourself

11. Remember
“Everything you do now ends up in your
permanent record. The best plan is to overload
Google with a long tail of good stuff and to always
act as if you're on Candid Camera, because you
are.”
