Smart learners are creating a positive digital footprint

• Think about how you advertise yourself online

• Remember it will be there forever

• Share content that you and your whānau will be proud of

• Understand the difference between private and public information

Being cybersmart empowers our young people to become confident decision makers when they share and interact online and helps create a positive digital footprint.

Whenever and wherever we share online it's personal, visible and amplified. It is personal because we are sharing information about ourselves.  Creating a positive digital footprint means learning to make smart decisions about what personal information we share and what personal information we keep private.  If we are not sure we check with a trusted adult or keep it private.
