I went to a counseling conference this week and sat in on a session hosted by Marsali Hancock who is President of the Internet iKeepSafe Coalition. She presented some very valuable information regarding Students'Digital Reputations. I thought this would be an excellent first topic to post on my blog. I don't believe I was totally aware of the overall impact of posting information on the internet and how it can impact a person's future - FOREVER! I am posting a link for students and parents to view videos on the ramifications of someone posting damaging digital images, as well as the surprising opportunities that can be discovered by posting positive personal information. Students I urge you share this information with your parents, siblings and friends. Here is the link iKeepSafe.
***IMPORTANT NOTE***
I also learned that colleges and universities are now using internet searches to find information on students who have applied. If they find negative information it could likely hurt a student's chances of getting accepted into that college or university.
