Summary
Raise awareness of online behavior and the permanence of the online digital record
Instructional Strategies
1. Discuss how the internet has improved our lives, but that there are also conditions to its use. 2. Remind students that their online �footprint� lives on in the virtual world and that almost nothing can be completely erased.
3. More serious discussions could involve how real people have lost their jobs, careers, and identities from inappropriate online behaviors. 4. Tell students that many employers look at online profiles and activity when making hiring decisions.
