While this video is aimed at younger adults, it could be a good reminder for all adult learners as well.
Kids are getting involved on the Internet and on social media at an early age, I think understanding these principles are essential to all people. When young people understand the impact that they can have online, they may rethink posting decisions. It is easy to post and feel anonymous when doing so. However, as this video points out, there are consequences to our decisions about what we post, the personal information we share, and leaving a "digital footprint."
Zach Marks, the creator of the video also created Grom Social, a site for kids on YouTube. The logo is to the right. The caption under the video presented above "talks about the life changing effects social media can have on our lives," (Zack Marks, 2015). Posting and sharing is a great way to learn and teach, but we must all be responsible for what we do, say, and post, they affect us and others.
Being a responsible digital citizen is important for all Internet users. I know this video is aimed at kids, but I learned from it too.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that link about digital citizenship. I believe that it will come in handy for my newcomer students. It seems our principal has to address the school about how to properly post comments on social media.
Keep up the excellent work and keep those helpful posts coming.

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this video on digital citizenship. It is short video that is informative about the topic of digital citizenship.
I make my daughter use youtube for kids. They have an app on the ipad. Normally I don't think of youtube as digital citizenship but it makes sense. I already use this with my students and encourage them to use it to find inspiration and tutorials.
