Digital Citizenship: Digital Etiquette Webquest

Introduction

As you all know we will be working with Googledocs this year so we can share documents digitally. What you may not know is everything you do is left on the internet even if you think it is deleted. This is called your digital footprint. Things you do when you were fifteen may come back to haunt you when you are twenty-five and looking for a job. We are going to explore safe ways to use the internet and learn what is appropriate to post.

On top of researching what is appropriate to post, you will research what sort of digital behavior is appropriate and in what setting. Ex: using your phone in a restaruant.
