How can you de-escalate digital drama so it doesn’t go too far?
Wednesday Script: Responsible Decision Making
Using social media to share the exciting events that happen in your life can be fun, but it’s also important to consider your responsibilities when you are sharing about others.
For National Digital Citizenship week, let’s think about how sharing on social media could affect others. They might get upset or embarrassed if they weren’t okay with sharing a certain picture or information. It might affect your friend’s opportunities in the future too. Ultimately, it can hurt your friendship.
Remember you can’t erase it once you put it online. It’s out there and becomes part of your digital footprint. So be careful what you share about yourself and others.
You have the power to make a positive impact on the world by thinking about your responsibilities when you post. Being a good Digital Citizen can protect you and your friends.
