Digital Citizenship 2.0 — My Professional Responsibility
Digital Citizenship 2.0 — My Professional Responsibility
I feel like the digital footprint is most fragile in todays digital environment. I think this because you are connected to so many things on the online world. What you posted 5 or 6 years ago could be on online forever. Employers can easily look you up and see what your footprint may look like online and that could make or break your own employment. Where I see the greatest risk would be the trying to connect outside of school. It is good to build a trusting relationship in the classroom but connecting beyond that can be a very thin line.
`It may not seem wrong in the moment but as a teacher if you create a relationship outside of the classroom you can easily lose the line of being a professional to a friend. Which may not seem wrong but from other peoples prospectives it can seem very unprofessional, and then you run the risk of the principle and even the school board concerned for the student. My behavior changed to a more professional behavior rather than a laid back behavior. It has shifted for me because I have started to take what I say and or post very important because I know that it can leave a mark forever. As a kid I never really thought anything of it, which is what most people do, but now I see that what I post can truly make a difference in todays world. Whether it be something as small as a comment to as big as a personal post. You truly never know what could happen in the future so being aware of what you are doing now is important.
Recognizing AI content is a practice I want to implement to model Digital Citizenship 2.0. This is because it is something that can easily be used and even easily accessed in the classroom. AI is becoming more and more popular, eventually everyone will be using it. If it were to become something that is normally used I think that I would truly learn how to use it and then teach my students how to use it. AI isn't something that can read your mind and knows what you are thinking. It is constantly pulling data from all sources. Learning how to properly use it could actually be beneficial but with the improper knowledge it can be used improperly.
As an educator in a networked democracy, I am responsible for my own actions in the online world. I am responsible for the things I share, comment, and post online.
