Be a Responsible Digital Citizen
 

Communications devices like cell phones, computers, and social media sites are powerful methods to stay connected.

How you choose to use them ca​n make all the difference.

Protect your profile.

• Only connect with people you know and trust on social network sites.
• Be careful about sharing personal information, even with people you know in a private email or text. Once you hit send, you can’t take it back!

Password protect your phone.

• Be sure to password protect your phone and keep your password private.
• Not doing this is the digital equivalent of leaving your home or car unlocked.

Model digital citizenship.

• Think before you post, send a text message, email or tweet. 
• Always remember that you alone are responsible for your words and actions.

Be part of the solution.

• Stand up for human rights by refusing to forward text messages or photos that are hurtful, demeaning, or disrespectful.
