Digital Legacy

Last week in Guernsey, Kevin Honeycutt spoke to the students about having a digital legacy. The importance of remembering that everything we do with technology is destined to become part of our legacy cannot be understated. The anonymity of the internet tends to cover up the fact that once something is published on the web or sent as a text, etc., it can be accessed forever. Hopefully, our students realize this and think before they type/text/respond electronically.

On a related note, I found this short video (4:24) interesting. I guess I hadn’t really thought of the amount of information that is out there about each of us. This site also has information on digital citizenship and "your digital presence."

I don't think we can talk to kids enough about this. And showing the kids the WayBack Machine is powerful!
