Blogging is a very public activity. Anything that gets posted on the internet stays there. Forever. Deleting a post simply removes it from the blog to which it was posted. Copies of the post may exist scattered all over the internet. That is why we are being so careful to respect your privacy and using first names only.
There are four principles from which we will operate as we create digital content that will be posted on the internet.
1. Students using blogs are expected to treat blogspaces as classroom spaces. Speech that is inappropriate for class is not appropriate for our blog. While we encourage you to engage in debate and conversation with other bloggers, we also expect that you will conduct yourself in a manner reflective of a representative of this school.
2. Never ever give out or record personal information on our blog. Our blog exists as a public space on the Internet. Don’t share anything that you don’t want the world to know. For your safety, be careful what you say, too. Don’t give out your phone number or home address. This is particularly important to remember if you have a personal online journal or blog elsewhere.
3. Again, your blog is a public space. And if you put it on the Internet, odds are really good that it will stay on the Internet. Always. That means ten years from now when you are looking for a job, it might be possible for an employer to discover some really hateful and immature things you said when you were younger and more prone to foolish things. Be sure that anything you write you are proud of. It can come back to haunt you if you don’t.
4. Never link to something you haven’t read. While it isn’t your job to police the Internet, when you link to something, you should make sure it is something that you really want to be associated with. If a link contains material that might be creepy or make some people uncomfortable, you should probably try a different source.

This video is really creepy. When we watched it during the freshman assembaly last year i thought it was interesting.
I really thought the video about cyber bullying was true. I've realized as friends we might say something like that as a joke, but when stuff like that is said to hurt is does mess up, and ruin people's lives

I think that this video is a good example of peer pressure and how we need to not give in just cause someone calls us scared or chicken.

The video about digital dossier was thought-provoking to me because not many people think too much about the digital footprints they leave on the internet. I myself haven't heard of this specific phrase before and never really put it into consideration that the whole process could start before birth.

I think that the first video is a good example of why you should be cautious when using the internet. It shows that there are extreme consequences for something that many people think is minor, like posting a picture online.

I think that this video is a great example of the extreme consequences of putting personal information online. It also shows how many dangerous people there are on the internet.

I think that the man talking about your myspace or facebook profiles affecting your job gave some very good advice that can also be applied to high schoolers. Photos and videos that show up on your facebook, or anyone else's can get you kicked out of teams, clubs, or even school, so it should be taken seriously.

Keep the good posts coming...My favorite is the digital dossier video, really hit home now that I have kids
i was intrigued by all the stuff you leave behind as you go on facebook and other computer-based conveniences

I think the first video teaches an important lesson. Posting anything on the internet can be dangerous, even if you delete the post. As soon as something is released on the web, there isn't anyone who can stop it from circulating. The best way to prevent this from happening is to be very cautious of what you post in the first place.

The video just shows how unprivate the internet is and how hard it is to get rid of things, and also how anyone can get at stuff online if they want to
I think the first video can relate to many high schoolers because it teaches us that even if we put a bad picture up on facebook or myspace anyone can still get it even if you delete it. This video has definitely reminded me to be very careful about anything that I post on the internet.

I think that Brian Krueger had a really important message to share because what you put on the internet can effect later opportunities in your life such as job opportunities.

The Digital Dossier video made me realize just how much information there actually is about us on the internet. If people have the right tools, they can access everything that has ever had our names on it. That's incredible to think about. It made me realize that anyone can see what I do on the internet, and even if I do something that may not seem harmful at the time, it could affect me in the long run. I think it's really important that kids come to terms with the fact that once you do something on the internet, it never goes away.
Kjaslikowski
I watched the "Let's fight it together" video, and I thought that the girls were evil. And I know, that If I had the chance I would jump at the first opportunity to help that kid. We all should be thinking that laughing like that is malicious and wrong.
I watched the "Interview tips - Myspace and your job search" video and I believe it just furthur proves how tough it is to get a job these days. Employers used to only get to know you from one interview but now they have a whole internet database all about you. I guess it just makes me glad I dont have a myspace. (by the way, his name is awesome)
A. Krueger
I liked the first video the best because it shows how easily you can regret putting a picture online. It definitely made me think how many people put themselves in situations that they easily could have avoided.
M. McMahon
I think the first video is a good way to show that once you put something on the Internet, it stays there. Anything you say or write on the Internet can harm your future and these things can't be taken back. And anyone can see what you put online, too. It's important to think about what you put on the Internet and how it might affect your life later on. K.Young
The first video impressed me because I already knew how Internet is wide though, it reminds me how dangerous putting pictures online.

I think this video was really scary. And it told me responsibility of using internet.
These videos show how much a little joke or mistake on the web may ruin someones life.
E Spalding
I think that it is really sad that in the first video, the girl wasn't able to take away the picture she posted even though it was really hurting her.
K Iida
I think these videos really showed some of difficult situations that can be a result of one bad choice made on the internet. It also showed how permanent everything is that you do or put on the internet.
B. Naal
Although i have seen this video multiple times i still realize that it is a very visual and literal explanation of what can happen on the internet.
