Digital Citizenship, by Laura Ganvik
Once it's out there, it's out there forever
even if you delete your posts/information, it can still be found
if you have your own website, even you delete that entire site, it can still be accessed
this is why we don't put personal information on the internet
employers can and will check deleted history
this is why you need to be careful about what you say, expecially on social media
Give credit where credit is due
plagairism is illegal
professors can easily tell if you have copied
protect your own work
don't let other people copy your work
plagairism is really only cheating yourself, cite your sources
Gist
A good digital citizen is someone who keeps all important information private and utilizes general common sense to be safe.
Write like it counts
employers will look down upon poor grammar
use correct grammar and punctuation at all times
don't abbreviate words, like "omg" and "lol"
be professional when interacting with a professor or employer
you will look better in the eyes of potential employers if you appear somewhat intelligent
No trolling
purposely making people angry isn't okay
people will get angry with you
the people who are angry with you will want to harm you
nobody will like you if you troll
find a hobby
Private information
it's called private for a reason
predators can possibly find you and hurt you with this information
keep your own information to yourself
don't share your friends' information either
it will not go away once it's online
