Week 5
First off, as educators we must teach our students the importance of good digital citizenship. However, it is very important for educators to maintain good digital citizenship as well. Basically, the best standard to go by is to remember that someone is always watching. As educators, we must be careful what information we post, what pictures we post, and when we post because we are held to higher standards than most because of our positions as role models. Employers now often will search your name before hiring you because your digital reputation says a lot now, since so much of our lives are spent on the web. So, our students must not only understand, but we must understand the repercussions of not using good digital citizenship. Our lives, as well as those around us, can be affected. Leading by example, showing them with lessons, and modeling good behaviors is the best practice to create good citizens on the web.

Yes, I totally agree! As adults, we make horrible decisions when it comes to using the internet. I always remember anything can be traced! As teachers, we must act as model citizens. Teachers always say, after 3 I am not a teacher. This is incorrect. Teacher's are expected to act like an amazing citizen even after hours!
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. We must have pride in who we are and understand that the internet has power to determine who we will become.
I agree with you. Someone is always watching and any little thing could be taking into a different context, and used against us. Educators truly have to be careful on what's being displayed. We are held to a high standard to be the best. We must take in that anything on the web could possibly hurt our career since employers are now searching your name before hiring. Reputation is everything and you don't want anything discreditable to hurt your reputation and a possible job. Representing good digital citizenship is something we must do.
