Introducing Digital Dossier to the Classroom

This video completely shocked me! I never knew that there was something as extensive as a digital dossier to tract your history online. This video does a great job of showing that you are always being watched with you internet activity. I always knew that the internet was not private but I this video really put it into prospective. In the article What's in Your Digital Dossier? it talks about how to introduce digital dossier to students. I agree with this article saying how it is very important have students aware of their actions on the internet at a young age, but I also think that along with showing them what not to do you have to show them how to build a positive image on the internet. This could be done by having them do blog posts for homework like we do in this class and also with your classroom website display what they have accomplished in the classroom.

  1. I agree with not only teaching today's youth about what NOT to do we need to teach them how to build a clean portrait of themselves on the web. We were all shocked by this video, meaning Im sure most of us have a few black marks on our digital dossiers. If we can help prevent black marks on our student's DD then they will be that much better off.
