Your Digital Footprints

What is a digital footprint? Do you have one? Have you ever Googled yourself? ====On the Internet a digital footprint is the word used to describe the trail, traces, or "footprints" that people leave online. This is information transmitted online, such as forum registration, e-mails and attachments, uploading videos or digital images, and any other form of transmission of information — all of which leaves traces of personal information about yourself available to others online. It is important to encourage kids to use the internet as a social networking tool, publishing tool, and research tool; but, it is equally important to teach them safe and appropriate use. Ignoring this role is ignoring the fundamentals of their way of learning, sharing, communicating, and collaborating. ==== ====Think before you post: //how much do I understand about public and private when it comes to online activity?// ==== ====Can we // post // if we do not have an online presence ourselves? ==== ====Who is responsible to teach them the difference? ====

The above is from Robin Ellis's page Digital Citizenship/Digital Footprints. It is information that must always be kept in mind and questions to consider that must be answered.
"If you cannot be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning"  Catherine Arid
