**Digital Footprint / Digital Citizenship**
A digital footprint is what you leave of yourself on digital media. For instance, if you go on a Facebook, that can be traced by your IP address. Going to a website also leaves cookies. Cookies track what websites you've been on and what you did. Digital citizenship means how you act on the internet and how other people see you as on the internet. Kind of like how you have citizenship in the real world, you should treat the internet as your own community. Realize that people can see everything you do. For example: you wouldn't tell someone to their face that they are fat or ugly or poor, would you? If you are cyberbullying, it has the same effect as bullying someone face to face. Another example: put appropriate pictures on your account, pictures that you can look at 10 years later and not regret posting it. Keep your information private, you wouldn't yell out your address for the whole world to hear. A positive example of digital citizenship is if someone posts a status like, " Our volleyball team won all of our games tonight!" you could reply by saying something like, "Good Job," or, "What was the score." It makes people feel good when you take an interest in their interests. Digital life is so related to the real world, you really should act how you would act normally. Remember, everyone sees this and it can never be erased.

Assignment: DigiTeen Introduction
After reading some introductions from other students in the project:

1. Look at the rubric so that you will know how the introduction will be graded (advanced is worth the most points, beginning is worth the least points). 2. Write 5 - 10 (or more) sentences to introduce yourself. 3. Pay particular attention to correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation - this is SCHOOL WRITING, not TEXT writing.
