What are my values, and how do media and tech impact them?
Monday Script: Self Awareness
This week is National Digital Citizenship week! Digital citizenship is using technology responsibly and appropriately. Good digital citizens know what is right and wrong and make good choices when using technology. Each day, this week, we'll be thinking about how we can become better Digital Citizens.
When you are online, how do you present yourself? Your choices and actions affect how other people perceive you. You may also notice that frequently only part of someone’s story is shared. People present limited versions of themselves and sometimes act completely different when on social media. Photos are edited and filtered. While it may look like a person has a perfect life online, reality includes much that is left out.
Are there multiple yous online? Think about how you can keep your online presence authentic and remember what you share becomes part of your digital footprint, which never gets “deleted.”
By being a self aware digital citizen, and thinking about what you share, you have the power to make a positive impact on the world and yourself.
