You can try these things to see your digital footprint on the Web:
List your online presence (instagram, pinterest, snapchat, gaming, etc)
Google yourself, and talk about what you found or didn't find.
Look at the number of "followers" or "contacts" you have...Do you KNOW all of them?
Read "One Tweet Can Be Costly" . Its about a guy with a bright college future that was ruined by his online activity.
Now, let's put yourself in the shoes of an employer. You are going to choose the Host of the next great reality show, just from looking at their online presence. Many employers and colleges DO THIS when looking for people to accept:

Cell Phone Etiquette:
1. The person in front of you is more important than a person on the phone.
That means if you are standing in line at a store and you are taking a call, you should end the call when you get to the register. Be face to face with that real live person who is asking you questions. It is completely rude to keep jabbering on and simply nodding in the direction of the cashier.
2. Eye contact is necessary when speaking to someone.
If someone is talking or giving you instruction, it is considered rude to not make eye contact and give the person in front of you a more prominent place than an inanimate object (cell) in your lap.
3. No one wants to hear your gossip or relationship issues in public.
Keep private matters private. No one wants to be standing in line next to you and hear you argue with a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend. Small children don’t need to hear your trash talk. Also, no stranger wants to hear what so-and-so wore to the dance. Keep your personal conversations as such and don’t have them in public places.
4. Your phone should be on silent when in public places.
Don’t go to the movies with your cell phone on full blast, do not go to the library with your cell phone volume up, not a museum, not a class, not a job interview… nope…turn it to vibrate and ignore it if you are listening or speaking with another human being. Keep it on silent in class unless it is part of a classroom assignment.
5. Don’t allow your cell phone to distract you.
With your headphones on, you may not hear that car approaching….that person who means you harm…important information for an assignment. If you are looking at that screen, you may take a misstep off a curb or in front of a car. …and don’t get me started about using your cell phone once you are able to drive. Be aware of what’s going on around you. Don’t be distracted.
6. Your phone should not be your only entertainment.
Hang out with friends, look up, look around, and interact with people. All too often you can witness a group of teenagers standing around and instead of interacting with one and other, they are all scrolling social media or texting. When you are with others, be with others, when you are home and bored, scroll away. You should not have your phone on in your bedroom at night, as it can interfere with your sleep. Late night is also a time when "the wrong people" may try to communicate with you.
7. It is not appropriate to whip out your phone to take pictures of people-areas, without permission.
Note: In this classroom, use cell phones for educational purposes, and only with permission. If not, it should be in your pocket. There will be days when we will be using them, so its important you know the appropriate times. When its permissible, You should STILL be able to hear my directions, but we should not be able to hear your phone.
8. Don't send any pictures or information from your phone that could be considered vulgar, illegal, or immoral. That information has a way of spreading a lot farther than you would ever imagine. (See "Your Foto Fate".)
9. Make sure you always answer when your parents call you, but DON'T answer phone numbers that you don't recognize (Or at least don't continue talking to someone you don't know)
*Tips to reading the online resources below:
*Get used to reading onscreen. It's not going away. It is the NEW NORMAL
*Expect to read slower, due to eye seep and scrolling
*Know that you must take a break about every 20 minutes to refocus your eyes.
*Try to read 30-40 lines of text to each scroll....Every SCROLL you take, takes a toll!
*Take notes you want to remember. We read VISUALLY, and on an online page, information can move around so its hard to place.

Protecting your Privacy
No one wants to have their identity stolen, and no one wants "private business" out in the open. You may think you do a great job of keeping your information private...and maybe you do....or maybe you don't. Watch this video from Netsmartz called "6 Degrees". The videographer challenges some teens concerning how much he can learn about them just within 6 clicks. Here is some more information about how to recognize phishing and scamming events that try to threaten your online and offline presence: * "Be aware of what you share" PPT we'll be using in class *Scams Worksheet *Ad Detective worksheet Fortnite Privacy Policy link :What is Epic Games doing with your identity, information, location, credit card, while you are playing their game? |
Encryption and cybersecurity: For a great introduction video, go to this site at Khan Academy.
A simple definition of encryption: a process that scrambles ordinary text or data into an illegible form. The recipient of the scrambled message would then need to decipher it by using a key to unscramble it. Many uses abound on the Internet, from the ID/pass keys you put in to get private emails to banking information and beyond.
Encryption? What does that mean to you? Why would people encrypt something to decrypt (or encode/decode)? Let's take a look at a mathematician who was a war hero because of his ability to break the code of the Nazi encryption machine called Enigma. (See the brainpop video)
To aid in understanding, let's try a cryptogram puzzle. Of course, this would be too easy a system to use if you really wanted to protect, say, your credit card, but its still fun to puzzle it out.
Here is a great site that takes you through some info about encryption. Try out the tutorial. Copy and paste this into your browser http://smartspaceniu.com/cryptography-cracking-the-code/ if the first doesn't work.
Try to come up with your own cryptogram puzzle with each letter representing on other letter. One easy way to do this is to use the Caesar Cypher. Here's a site that even does it for you.
When sending secret messages, just make sure you always keep everything school appropriate. A good motto is "nothing illegal, immoral, or a disgrace to your family name!"
