Educators and parents often worry about the content of teen social media accounts, spurring many conversations around digital citizenship, digital footprints and online behaviour. I caught wind of the SimpleWash site on a chat show this week. Essentially, it scrapes through a person’s Facebook and Twitter accounts, tagging content compared with a list of objectionable vocabulary. I’m suggesting it as a next-step for students, especially our upcoming graduating classes, as they begin post-secondary studies, new jobs and entering adulthood. It offers a chance for users to see their online presence from another point of view – and an opportunity to tidy things up.

Edmodo Digital Citizenship Poster

Welcome back to a new school year as I begin my 15th year of The Teacher List! To start off, here’s a Digital Citizenship poster from Edmodo that you can download to print or share. “As technology becomes more of an integral part of our society, it’s important to help students understand appropriate use of social media tools and other digital citizenship skills. Edmodo offers various resources to help you get started, including security best practices, sample guidelines and a sample code of conduct for your students. To help you relay the importance of digital citizenship, we’ve also created a Best Practices for Digital Citizenship poster which you can print and display in your classroom, or share with your students.”
