Why Do I Need to Think Before I Post?

  • Items we share can never really be deleted, they become part of our digital footprint -- what others see when they search for us online.
  • It is our responsibility to post content that will help us build a positive digital footprint.
  • When future schools, employers, or friends search for you, you want them to see the best version of you.

Privacy

  • Secure you social media
  • You decide what gets approved to be posted to your page
  • You decide "who" can find you online.

Security settings- You have control over your security and should use the security functions of your social media. What if someone posts a picture of you at a party? What if someone tags you in an article about a sensitive topic that you may not agree with? Would you want EVERYONE to be able to see these?

Ok or Too far?

With a partner, decide if the person who wrote the post is "ok" or "too far" Ok-not too personal, not offensive, would be seen as mostly positive by people who do not know them. Too far-The post was offensive or shared personal info and could be seen as negative by others. The person may be at risk for losing their job or college acceptance.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Post

● Is this something I would want my mom to see? -- Remember, that even if you share something on a private account with strong privacy settings, your friends or followers can reshare your content on their social media accounts, making your original post available for the world to see. ● Is it kind? -- While humorous, sarcastic posts can go viral and get you lots of online attention, it can be very easy for these types of posts to be misinterpreted. Something you intended as a joke could be taken literally and offend hundreds, thousands, or millions of people. ● Is it true? -- Posting misinformation online weakens your credibility and depending on the situation and what is said, could open you up lawsuits. ● Is posting this going to cause drama? -- Maybe it is a picture of a friend that you find funny, but they might find embarrassing. Maybe you are bragging about getting away with something you should not have done (skipping class, sneaking out of the house, etc.). If your post could cause drama for you or anyone else, just keep it to yourself! Have you ever googled yourself? Try it!
