Personal Reflections/Applications about Digital Citzenship

Digital Citizenship is something that we all can learn from. It seems like kids are getting younger and younger when they first get cell phones, start their Facebook accounts or talk online.

It's easy to think that the things that we do via Facebook will not come back to haunt us but the reality is that our online life is more accesible the we realize. Others are viewing information with little to no background and the our character can be judged very quickly.

I think that we are taught and made to practice citizenship daily. For some reason it seems like the politeness we are expected to have in every day life is at times lost once we pick up our phones or log on to Facebook.

Learning about the ideas of Digital Citizenship made me reflect on the fact that people think that they can hide behind technology at times. It seems to me that we think that some of our behavior can be excusable because it was just a picture on Facebook or just a quick text...Don't even get me start on Snapchat.

I choose to go with a presentation that would be presented to youth. I think that reminders are needed in the fact that we are responsible for our actions in all areas.
