Week Five-Digital Citizens

It is important to be a good digital citizen because anytime you post to the internet, it remains for a very long time. I have a Facebook account that I use mainly to keep up with friends that I don't get to see very often. I am surprised at some of the things that people post. As an educator, and a parent, I attempt to teach my students and own children good netiquette. Our media specialist at our school (also, my wife), does a lesson for classes on Netiquette. It is very effective. Students do not realize how posting on social networks affects their reputation. I noticed another student in this class posted that potential employers check networks like Facebook before hiring an employee. I have heard that same thing.
