Safer Schools Together Reflection (January 2023).

  1. The titles of movies to impact a lot of story line, so yes. It would represent a complete different story, maybe not about her truth but a different part of her life, the title shows us and hints us about the ending, like its creeping on us and if the title was changed the the different tactics giving us the point of the movie would be different.
  2. I do think its important to be true to ourselves and to others but in this world I do think that it is not good, It’s great that she’s out there and representing everything that she does but there are terrible dangers out there where being kind and truthful doesn’t help you, at moments where I think its good to be true is not editing your body, pictures to show something of when its not true but I think posting close information about where are you and important things about yourself could be at high risk and could really bring her more problems.
  3. Social media is not anything close to being positive, social media is a drug to us which we us to get rid of feeling awkward, useless and bored. People back in the day did have to work to fill in those voids, but now we can all relate to being lazy, we don’t have to work as hard since we can just edit our pictures into what we want to be and at the end we lie to ourselves and others which brings guilt when guilt makes us mentally unstable and at high risks brings out disorders.

Digital Footprint Assignment

1. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.

As a teenager starting 9th grade, you’re usually influenced in positive or negative ways, and with our freedom with the internet, we don’t think twice before saying/writing. One common opportunity is to express opinions that will not be tolerated, such as racism or ableism. This will quickly spread across the internet, and most of the time you will be doxxed or blackmailed. If you are considering attending university, this will undoubtedly influence your decision. Another example would be influencing someone’s opinion or perspective of you, as well as destroying friendships and romantic relationships.

 

2. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

Stop and think before commenting, posting, or reposting anything. Think about if it can be used against you, and understand the consequences. Have anything negative to say, write it down in your personal diary to keep out anything bad!

3. If you could go back in time, is there anything that you would do differently online? Think of what advice you would pass on to your younger self or other students.

I would not put some personal information about my friends where I live what I do and where I’m from, either from that maybe not post such embarrassing videos of myself dancing. I would tell students to be mindful of the internet cause it can be a scary messy mean place, and just remember everything that you think on the internet stays there.
