As we finish this lesson, we want to provide you with a few helpful questions to think about before posting anything online or engaging with a stranger. This will help you be a more responsible digital citizen.
"Would I like for someone to share that about me?"
"Do I know this person well enough to share sensitive information with them?"
"Would I do or say this in-person, or if my family were watching?"
"Am I doing this because of an emotional reaction?"
"Am I breaking the law or violating school policies?"
"Does this behavior really represent who I am?"
