3. CYBERETHICS &
DIGITAL
FOOTPRINT
What you do now online and in
your life will impact your future.
Think about the "seeds" that you
are sowing as you connect
online.
Will the seeds you plant grow
into a positive representation of
who you are?
4. CYBERETHICS
First impressions start with
your digital footprint. People
are using Google to find out
information about us. How will
others measure you from a
search on Google?
"The measure of a man's real
character is what he would do if
he know he would never be found
out."
- Thomas Babington Macaulay
Make sure your character
measures up...online and off!
5. KEEP IT CLEAN !
Share only appropriate
information and always use
respectful language.
6. CYBERETHICS
Imagine all of the things
you do while online. Now
imagine if it were kept in a
journal.
Would you be comfortable
if anyone could read that
journal?
7. LOOK IN THE
MIRROR!
Imagine having the mirror
attached to your
computer or device.
If you looked in it and saw
someone in the reflection,
would they approve of
what you are doing or
saying online?
8. CYBERBULLYING
Don’t be a bystander to
cyberbullying. Show support
to the target and tell an adult!
9. CYBER-
BULLYING
The damage to the heart
of someone who has been
cyberbullied is permanent.
We can apologize.
But emotional scars will
remain inside and WON'T
go away.
10. THINK
BEFORE YOU
SHARE!
Information that you are
putting online is like toothpaste
coming out of the tube. Once it
is out, it won’t all go back in the
tube!
Passwords and toothbrushes
are also very similar in the
fact that you NEVER want to
share passwords.
12. UNPLUG!
Most of your life is
"plugged in" but don't
forget to balance your
digital life and your real life.
Unplug and go offline to
connect with the world
around you!
13. RESEARCH
& FILTER
The amount of information on
the internet is amazing! As
digital citizens, you must be
good at "straining" or filtering
what is factual and useful and
what is not.
Evaluate what you find online
for trustworthiness and
credibility.
14. DIGITAL
FOOTPRINT
The mistakes you make
online today will be
Googleable tomorrow.
Hopefully our mistakes
won't be too big.
If a Band Aid won't help,
then we have a problem!
