Being a good digital citizen

What does this mean?

It means….

MANNERS REALLY DO MATTER ON THE WEB

Respect Your Self/Respect Others

Etiquette- Share but be fair- Respect people views, race and religion- Don’t steal people work – it is ILLIGAL- Don’t feed the trolls – they will grow

Access- Do not copy an paste – read, evaluate and be creative, find

your own words

commons

Educate Your Self/Connect with Others

Communication- Do not swear- Do not shout (capital letters makes it look like you ARE

SHOUTING!!! TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK!!!!- Listen and think first, talk later

My Advice: If you wouldn’t shout it in front of the class, including

your parents, police and the school principal…Don’t say it online, we will see it!

Literacy- Use Proper English Please! Otherwise - idk wot ya say- This is your reputation, your foot print – think first

Protect Your Self/Protect Others

Rights and Responsibility• Be careful what you post, tweet or upload. These images

and comments do not go away and can lead to online criticism and backlash and embarrassment in the real world.

• Report and record bad behaviour – speak up! • Treat others how you would want to be treated• Don’t film of photograph without permission• Don’t post embarrassing or comprising images or film• Remember that anything on the net can go public – or viral• Do not post private photos or films of yourself, respect

yourself and leave a respectable footprint, employers check

Safety (Security)- Keep your passwords safe- Keep your privacy safe

Most importantly

Online bullying will not be tolerated

No excuses and extreme consequences!!!

Warning: Anyone caught bullying online in my class will be presenting a speech

to the whole school assembly on being a good digital citizen…so start NOW! (yes I was shouting…sorry)
