Here are some of our goals from Manaiakalani guides for Smart learners who have Smart footprints online:
- Think about how you advertise yourself online
- Remember it will be there forever
- Share content that you and your whānau will be proud of
- Understand the difference between private and public information
This week K15 are busy discussing and deciding what personal information is safe to share publicly. This is in preparation of accessing our very own school blogs.
Our blog can be seen as our stage for our education here at Kedgley. Our identity as a learner of this school community is something to be proud of and share in this space. (Remember our post last week where we used the recent polyfest to highlight the difference between the contexts of ‘On stage’ and ‘Back stage’)
We need to constantly check that we post online is creating a positive – smart footprint. It’s so important to practice this as it will support our learning going forward this year and well in college.
There is for everyone – information that we share with a limited audience. This was highlighted in the activities we were led through. One very important learning for us is, if there is personal information that we are unsure about sharing – then STOP don’t share it. You can always decide later!
Here we have K15 watching a social experiment that highlights the need to check what we share publicly online. Liking a page on social media is another accidental way we share information. Go here if you’d like to see what we watched, it teaches us so much about our footprints.
