As sad as it is to say, this is the last week of ADED 1P32, and I have completed so many things that have made me more technologically knowledgeable and more of a digital citizen. We were told to google ourselves as a final task. When I did this, I found my Facebook, twitter, and blog posts! I thought this was so cool as this is my digital footprint. The only major changes since the beginning of the course are my blog posts as I already had twitter and Facebook. I like that you can see my blog posts because they are everything that I have learned over the time of this course and I hope that they are useful to others who are either taking this course or just looking for additional information. A digital footprint is information on the web specifically about you and throughout this course, I have learned so much about building my positive digital footprint through different tools such as Pinterest and twitter. With Pinterest I know to post positive pictures or create boards based on my accomplishments and particular interests. With twitter I can use it to promote myself in my future career, or use it to follow other people in the same field as me to educate me more. I think that it is critical to have a positive digital footprint as that just helps with the idea of being a digital citizen. If you have a positive digital footprint, then you most likely follow the digital rights and responsibilities which lead you to become an appropriate digital citizen.

I have learned that digital citizenship is about the way that you use technology that really puts you in the category of being a digital citizen or not. You should always be thinking about the digital rights and responsibilities when using technology as they will ensure you of being a proper digital citizen. Being polite and using proper etiquette when collaborating and communicating with other online is very important.

As a digital citizen, I will hopefully continue to create blog posts and spread the web about how important it is to use technology appropriately. Before I joined this class, I had no idea about the digital rights and responsibilities, but learned a few of them through my years of school. For example, citing other people work. I did not know that this was a digital responsibility, but that it was just something you had to do because it is illegal to steal another person’s work. I think that the digital rights and responsibilities should be more enforced, especially now that technology is so popular in today’s society. Children and even adults should know all of the rights and responsibilities before using the internet. There are many websites that talk about the appropriate use of the internet that are great reads. I found a great website that is all about appropriate use of technology. It is called, Classroom tips: Appropriate use of Modern technology. I suggest you look at it because it is very interesting! As a digital citizen, I can only post things online through blog posts, twitter, and Facebook to enforce how important it is to use technology suitably.

Thanks for reading my final blog post! I really enjoyed this course and getting to share all of my knowledge with everyone!
