Digital Footprints

At yesterday's assembly Mr Jorgensen spoke to the students about the importance of online safety and maintaining a positive online reputation. The messages contained in yesterday's presentation are very important for students in today's 21st century learning environment. A student's online reputation is an important tool that can potentially enhance their future choices - evidence of a positive and productive digital footprint is something that employers will increasingly be looking for from their prospective employees. On the other hand, evidence of inappropriate behaviour, images, and language may be detrimental to a student's future choices. The partnership between schools and families is vital in ensuring that our young people are using technology in poweful and positive ways while helping them to avoid the pitfalls by understanding the potential hazards.
