This is Ishika Dhawan and Hailey Desai from the PT tech team reminding you to pledge to be a good digital citizen:
Hailey: We are all passing notes & sometimes, we really need the teacher to stop us. Online, everything spreads quickly, and there is no hiding from the data once it is out. Through the grapevine the information goes, whether it be rumor, gossip, or real. They all travel the same way, so it is up to us to decide what to pass on (what image do we want to set for ourselves), what to tattle-tale the teacher about (reporting fake news!), and when to be the teacher, informing another party about their digital footprint.
Ishika:To quote Germany Kent, author of “You are What You Tweet”:
“Use social media for good and lift others up, not tear them down. Stay on the high road. Keep your peace.”
“Think before you click. If people do not know you personally and if they cannot see you as you type, what you post online can be taken out of context if you are not careful in the way your message is delivered.”
