These and several other similar questions are but the emerging tip of the sinking iceberg.One that is packed full of concerns related to issues of our online identity and privacy issues."

    here is another very good reason for "Googling" yourself - to find out if any private and sensitive information about yourself and / or your family has ended up online somehow.  Maybe you accidently changed your Facebook privacy settings and your mobile phone number is now public? Or maybe a disgruntled former friend or colleague is bad mouthing you online?  Both of these scenarios have happened to me in the past and speaking from those experiences, I can assure you that these are things you need to be aware about right away so you can do something about it.  At the very least, too much information about you online can lead to a serious risk of your identity being stole

    "We often hear complaints about what students say and do online, but we often neglect to look into educators helping them manage their online reputation.

    I like the idea of empathy and understanding as part of digital citizenship.
  •  
    I agree, Ann. There are some awesome examples of people using social media to bring about a positive change in the world, and without exception they were motivated by empathy and an understanding of being a global digital citizen. We do the world a disservice focussing on the trolls etc.

how to easily delete your online accounts - 1 views

  •  
    Want to ditch your online account? Shouldn't be a problem, right? Unfortunately, on many websites, including popular ones like Facebook, deleting your account can be a real pain. AccountKiller collects direct links and deleting instructions to make account termination easy. Websites like Skype that do not allow deleting your profile in an easy way at all get blacklisted. Luckily there are websites that do care about your online privacy.

Digital storm on the horizon - 8 views

  •  
    "Michael Fraser calls it the ''rubbish web''. That is the internet we will be left with in five to 10 years unless governments and cyber corporations fix the holes that allow criminals to infiltrate the world wide web and strip global citizens of their identity, money and dignity, he believes. In his bleak view, those who can afford it will retreat behind private corporatised security walls."

    "SOME 7.5 million of the 20 million minors who used Facebook in the past year were younger than 13, and a million of them were bullied, harassed or threatened on the site, a study released yesterday said. More than five million Facebook users were 10 years old or younger, and they were allowed to use Facebook largely without parental supervision, leaving them vulnerable to threats ranging from malware to identity theft to sexual predators, the State of the Net survey by Consumer Reports said."

Digital identities: Trolling for your soul - 1 views

  •  
    i was going to post this on DCiS FB page, but thought better of it.
  •  
    Somewhere in the world a sad little band of trolls must be smarting at yet another derision of their good name! It makes the famous New Yorker cartoon quote seem so naive, and yet it could be extended to reflect the changing times "on the Internet nobody knows your a dog but it's bleedin' obvious your a TROLL'. I went onto read the comments which were also interesting. Perhaps this artlcle is a little harsh and castes trolls in a bad light since trolls are only exercising their right to freedom of speech FOS. Some trolls maybe subversive in a good way! The quandary of privacy, online identity & FOS is further explored in the comments Tx for your post.

    There are no secrets online. That emotional email you sent to your ex, the illness you searched for in a fit of hypochondria, those hours spent watching kitten videos (you can take that as a euphemism if the kitten fits) - can all be gathered to create a defining profile of you.

    "Whether you realize it or not, dozens - if not hundreds - of apps and services have access to your social accounts and can see everything you're doing online. Tweets, Likes, your location, are all there for the taking. What's worse, there's a pretty good chance you unwittingly gave them permission."

Don't teach your kids coding, teach them how to live online - 3 views

  •  
    Friedman identified a problem that education systems are only now beginning to wrestle with. Life is largely lived online, and schools do not prepare children for it. It's not just about keeping them safe from predators, cyberbullies, porn and identity theft: it's also about having an ethical framework, and the skills to assess the reliability of information.
