Think Before You Post: The Lasting Impact of Social Media Choices

Lesson Overview for the Teacher

This lesson is teacher-directed, featuring whole-class and small group discussions; it is not meant to be an independent student activity. Activity questions are structured for debate, possibly using a "four corners" debate approach where students move to different areas of the classroom based on their stance and then discuss/debate their reasoning in small groups. The teacher will guide discussions to ensure respectful and critical engagement.

It is easy to be impulsive and irresponsible with posting social media content. The decisions made with what we post have lasting effects- the internet never forgets.

What you do online has real-world consequences. The photos, videos, and messages you share affect you, your privacy, your reputation, and those of the people around you — now and in the future. Stop and think before you post.

What you post could have a bigger “audience” than you think. It’s impossible to completely control who sees your profile, pictures, videos, or texts — even if you use privacy settings or apps that delete your content after it’s viewed or within 24 hours.

Even if you delete something you’ve posted — or the post expires — that photo or comment you don’t want people to see anymore could be saved, shared, and live somewhere online — permanently.

Anyone who wishes to report suspicious activity or concerning threats against the public are encouraged to contact the Louisiana State Analytical and Fusion Center (LA-SAFE) at 225-925-4192. The Louisiana State Police also offer an online reporting system through a secure form, which is submitted directly to the appropriate investigators. Anyone can access this form by visiting the LA-SAFE website http://la-safe.org

LA-SAFE

Don't ignore it! Speak up and report it!

If you see a friend post something false, thoughtless or unsafe, tell them. You may keep your friend out of trouble and avoid embarrassing themselves. If you see something inappropriate online, report it and tell a trusted adult. Most apps and platforms have a way to report if someone’s behavior is threatening or inappropriate.
