What Happens in
Vegas Online Stays Online: Examining your Digital Mark
“A digital footprint is a trail of date you create while
using the internet. It include the websites you visit, emails you send and
information you access.”
Every time you log on you leave a mark.
Two Types of Digital
Footprints
Active: You are deliberately releasing
information about yourself for the purposes of sharing.
Passive: Websites and/or platforms that
collect information about you behind the scenes.
Scenarios:
If you are using a library computer
and browsing the internet using a private browser session, are you leaving a
digital footprint?
Emails that you send if your
institution’s email is behind a firewall.
Teaching Students
about Digital Footprints:
Digital Reputation:
To some extent you can take control of your digital footprint by controlling the
active part. You cannot control your digital reputation. Your reputation is
long-term. You can have a good digital reputation.
How do you manage
your digital reputation?
- Set up a “google alert” that allows you to keep track of online posts that are about you. You can find google alert in your google account under services.
- Clean up social media accounts. (About every six months.)
- Privacy Settings. You can set up lists of people on Facebook that you wish to share some messages with but not all.
- Facebook Legacy Contacts: If you die who has the ability to maintain your Facebook account? This is the person who has access to your Facebook account and can write a final message, send info about funeral etc., download shared photos, and close your account.
Digital Citizenship
Web 1.0 Top down; experts downloaded info
Web 2.0 More connected; get information and respond to it.
Web 3.0 Interactive web; we’re all putting information online;
dynamic; everyone is an expert; Web 3.0 created “radical openness”
Information has been “democratized” due to the availability
of multiple experts. Our expertise depends on our ability to analyze and
evaluate expertise.
Netiquette is
Citizenship
