This week, I polled my high school students fellow staff members for their opinions on which of the eight digital citizenship topics (referred to in a previous blog post) represents the most immediate need for instruction and training in students ages 13-17. Over 55% of the 60 participants in the poll believed that understanding one's "Digital Footprint" was the most immediate need. In talking to some of the students, they specifically expressed concern over social media postings by friends. Due to these comments I developed a poster that identifies some of the things students should think about before posting, considering once the comment or photo is uploaded, it is forever a part of their digital footprint.
