Safety
Digital is all about data, so it can be difficult to know
where to draw the line on how, where, and when to share
information. When it comes to safety, posting a photo of
one’s first day of school in front of a school sign is one
of those innocent missteps — now anyone can find
where you go to school. We all need to be diligent about
not oversharing the personal ins and outs of our daily
lives as well as safeguarding our personally identifying
information (PII) to avoid identity theft. Today’s digital
systems are designed to track and target, so we need
to teach students how to be savvy consumers.
Especially when it comes to app settings. Knowing what
apps are capable of makes it easier to understand how to
use settings on apps to limit their reach.
