As a young person you know that social media is part of our everyday lives. Social media gives people the power to share a message and aspects of their life with the world.

When using a social media app it is important to keep yourself safe and to use the technology responsibly. Remember, what you put up into the internet does stick. Treat yourself with respect. Treat others with respect.

This means that when you post on an app others can see the post and even take a picture or video of it. When you delete the post it doesn't mean it is really gone from the internet.

With a parent or caring adult, please review the following "Family Online Rules."

Using Google Docs or a notebook, journal your thoughts. What did you learn ? What are your family rules?

As a student in a Catholic school, you are be called to be an Effective Communicator. Please read below and watch the video of your TCDSB Student Trustees Kathy and Kathy.

An Effective communicator

When using social media, it is always important to think before you post and be part of a web experience that is respectful, positive and allows you to be an Effective Communicator.

An Effective Communicator invites students to follow Jesus’ lead as a listener who carefully understand Jesus' message and respond critically in the light of the gospels.

Your digital footprint matters

In this video your TCDSB Student Trustees Kathy and Keith speak to the importance of a positive and responsible digital footprint.

What did Kathy and/or Keith share that was interesting to you? How are they positive role models when it comes to using social media?

Using the Show What You Know Student Choice Board, help the TCDSB Virtual School build a positive digital footprint. With a parent or caring adult, use Twitter or Instagram to post a positive message to the hashtag #TCDSBVSFAM.
