Citizenship Online: Privacy, Safety, Bullying, & Consent

Watch Jesse Miller’s wonderful video on children, social networks, & media literacy (15 min):

 

Watch the Province of BC’s Digital Footprint video (6 min):

Hands-on Lab Time:

Learn more about your Digital Footprints & Google yourself: 

• Open a new table in your web browser and Google yourself!
  • For example, I’d search for: “Rich McCue”, and possibly the city where I live or grew up to the search string if you have popular names: “Rich McCue” Victoria BC
  • If you still can’t find any references to yourself, which often happens if you have a common name, add “UVic” to your search string (E.g.: “Tracy Smith” UVic), and see what comes up.
  • If possible do your search in “Incognito” or the private mode for your web browser so you can see your search in the way someone else would see it.
• Did you find any web pages or images of yourself?
• Will the web pages or images be helpful during your job search when recruiters search for your name (possibly along with where you live and/or UVic)?
• How can you add positive posts or images that will show up when people search for you on the internet?
• Can web pages or images on the internet be removed?
• What do you think recruiters would think if searched for you but found nothing?

Homework:

1. Learning Pod peer feedback:
   • Spend 10 minutes reviewing last week’s Critical Evaluation post from a different member of your learning pod.
   • Please make sure that everyone in the learning pod gets one of their blog posts reviewed.
   • Please be professional and kind as you provide feedback to your peers’ blog posts. Use this guide as you review peer blog posts today, and until the end of the semester: Blog Post Peer-Review guidance
