Inappropriate use of Digital Media

Wilsonaa
It really worries me that so many students have little concern for what they post online.  I have students that have snapchat and other apps where they post pictures of themselves and others.  Sometimes they will post pictures incriminating themselves.  Whether it would be smoking, skipping class, or doing something illegal.  I tell my students that what you post online is online forever.  You can't just delete something once it's uploaded.  There are digital records of everything.  Students need to keep in mind that future employment will be doing digital research into your background to make sure they are hiring someone that will help the company not hinder it with some scandalous situation.  Just look to a popular comedian that was going to host an award show but was denied because he tweeted something offensive several years ago.
