Week 5: Digital Citizen


It is is very important to be a good digital citizen when using the internet, social media sites, and even emails.  A good digital citizen should be respectful to those that they communicate with and use common sense.  A good digital citizen also has to be sure that things they post are their owns and if not they should provide a citation of the source for the information.  

It is very valuable to have a good digital reputation to protect yourself.  Things that you may post online can actually conflict with you real life.  Everything that we post on the internet will always remain there, so if you do not want it to bite you later you shouldn't post it.  Many employers are researching employees before they hire them and some employers have even fired employees for comments that have posted.  A good digital reputation is important for everyone.

    I liked the part where you talked about protecting yourself. Many employers are looking at social media sites before hiring people. What goes on the internet can make or break you in some situations.
