Building a digital legacy is an issue I believe doesn't garner enough attention in our personal and professional lives. In fact, some of the heaviest users of online tools and social media, are our young students, who are growing up as a generation of visual learners and visual attention seekers. This is in fact the Facebook and YouTube generation, and the reality is that many teens are unconcerned about the dangers of sharing personal information online.

A highly respected education advocate, Kevin Honeycutt, once asked me if any of us from our generation (GenX and before), had ever made a mistake in puberty. He then asked if our mistakes are "Googleable."

The reality is that our mistakes from puberty are not "Googleable". But our students' mistakes are. "They're on the record you see, " Kevin continued, "so if they're gonna do it (live online) anyway, I think it behooves us as educators to help our students shape and build a positive legacy."

With that in mind, I have developed some important facts and opinions that our students should be completely aware of as they live in their digital world, creating digital footprints along the way.

10 Things Your Students Should Know About Their Digital Footprints

College admissions and employers do read your online profiles and they do make decisions based upon information they find out about you online. In fact, college's will make decisions based upon many forms of questionable involvement. Scott Cornwell, College and Career Adviser at Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis, Missouri said, "I had a case where a parent sent an email to a college suggesting they look at the Facebook page of a student who was applying to the same school as her daughter. The Facebook page showed the other student at a party with alcohol. The mother's goal was to get rid of some of the competition her daughter would have at this selective school. In the end, both the student at the party and the daughter of the mother were rejected (the first in part because of the Facebook page, the second because the college was concerned about dealing with such a manipulative mother for four years).

As illustrated in the example above, educators and parents do see, read, and hear about your online escapades, even though you go to great lengths to hide them from us. There have been many times I wish I hadn't stumbled upon a student Twitter or Facebook post, but I have. These experiences, which included foul language,cyberbullying, and basic immaturity, have only reinforced to me that digital citizenship needs to be taught in our schools as early as possible.

3.) Educate yourself on the basics. What does Digital Citizenship mean to you? What should it mean? These are important lessons that students can research on their own. However, wouldn't it be fantastic to offer some of this education in our schools as well?

Create a profile that says simple, non-specific details about yourself, but that is still identifiably you. Ultimately, we are all personally responsible for our digital reputation, but many of our students, and quite frankly many adults, don't know how to accomplish this important task.

5.) Create separate accounts so you can consistently remain positive in public online spaces. If you have already developed a full identity online, you don't necessarily need to " scrub it clean", but it would make sense to create a professional identity, and limit the amount of personal information you share publicly. Increase your privacy settings on all of your personal information, and publicly share all the wonderful things you are contributing to the world.

Learn from others. Find teenagers, professionals, or reputation resources who are doing things the right way and model your online presence in a similar manner. Read the surveys that have been conducted and make informative decisions on what personal material is appropriate to share publicly, and what is not.

Keep private information private. Have you heard the saying the " Internet is forever?" You may think you can easily hit delete, and what you sent goes away. But it truly doesn't. Be aware and learn why the Internet is permanent.

The Golden Rule. Never has this rule applied more than to how you speak to others online. What are you truly accomplishing by saying things behind the veil of a computer screen, that you would never say to someone in person? Treat others as you would like to be treated. Simply put, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Remember, you can't truly delete when you SEND.

9.) Don't be afraid to make a mistake, but be mindful that being careless, too open, too trusting, and realize spending too much time on the Internet, has real consequences.

Build your own positive image and brand yourself in a great way. I created a wonderful lesson for my class by asking them who they are as people, not as students. I then asked them to create a short video to show me who they are. It was a great success and I learned a lot about my students in a very positive way.

I hope you will find this information helpful. I would love to hear your feedback in the comments section.

Good luck!

This outfit is not suitable for work!

Steering clear of inappropriate business attire for females will help you out in the workplace. Not only will you be taken seriously as a professional, wearing the right clothing can help your image as well.

While most women seem to have an understanding of what's suitable to wear to the office, or at least read over their company's dress code, some women have a harder time choosing appropriate attire. Wearing the wrong clothing can mark you as unprofessional and lead to unwanted remarks from coworkers. It can also hinder your prospects for promotion.

Examples of Inappropriate Business Attire for Females

If you're ever in doubt about what to wear to your job, you should first consult the dress code. Most companies provide them for their employees. You should also pay attention to what higher-ups in your work environment wear, even if you're not interested in advancement. Here are some examples of what not to wear in a business setting:

Mini skirts: Skirts that hit at your knee are fine. They're great for women of all heights, but favor petite women especially. However, skirts that come well above the knees aren't good options for the office. Micro mini or just a little mini, it doesn't matter; the super short skirts are best saved for the weekend. If in doubt, you don't want any of your thighs exposed, whether you're standing or sitting.

Plunging necklines: Too much cleavage is a no-no for work. Even if V-necks are your favorite tops to wear, there's a right way and a wrong way to wear a deep neckline. Camisoles are the perfect accessory to wear under a low-cut shirt. There are plenty of camisoles in all colors and with feminine, lacy details that are made to peek out a little. If your push-up bra exposes any cleavage at all, then you need a different shirt.

Skin-baring tops: Along with exposing too much on top, you can also expose too much on the bottom by wearing a midriff shirt, which will bare your belly. It doesn't matter if you wear a jacket over it; midriff tops aren't appropriate for the workplace.

Tight clothing: Tight skirts, slacks and tops send the wrong message in a business environment and should be avoided. It makes you look unprofessional. Even if you're the best employee in the world, appearances do count and you should dress according to your setting and position. Tight clothing can give coworkers the wrong impression and can be linked to harassment.

Stilettos: High heels are wonderful shoe choices for women. They make you stand taller, which can be important if you're on the shorter side, and as a result, they can help you feel more confident. Shoes that have two- or three-inch heels are fine, but you don't want to go any higher than that. Shoes with four-inch or higher heels look out of place in the office.

Denim: Jeans have come a long way in recent years. You can find dark washed denim jeans that look almost like slacks, but no matter how expensive or fancy your jeans are, they're still considered more suitable for a casual occasion. The excpetion to this rule is if your workplace has a 'casul Friday policy.' Even then, however, choose dark denim and tailored jean styles that still look professional.

Other examples of inappropriate business attire for females include:

Sweats

Sneakers

Sundresses

Athletic apparel

Shorts

Tee shirts

Spaghetti straps

Halter tops

Even if your place of business regularly has casual Fridays, it's still a good idea to avoid these office wardrobe blunders.

Make the Right Professional Attire Choices

You really can't go wrong with classic, professional clothing choices. By making sure you have key wardrobe work pieces in your closet, you'll have a better chance of wearing the right outfit for the job. By dressing in accordance with your company's dress code and always keeping your setting in mind, you'll project a confident, competent image. Your coworkers and superiors will take you seriously and believe that you're the right type for advancement opportunities.

While credit cards are a convenient and secure alternative to cash and checks, they can get you into real financial trouble. Here's how.

Compound Interest Can Create a Debt Trap

In the last section, we said that the ability to delay payment interest free through a grace period is one benefit of using a credit card. The downside of the ability to delay payment using a credit card is that you can delay payment indefinitely. The only money your credit card issuer requires you to cough up every month is the minimum payment. As long as you pay that sum, you can spend your heart's content, up to the credit limit, and take decades to repay the balance. (See Why Making Minimum Payments Gets You Nowhere.)

We don't recommend going this route, because interest charges will make your balance balloon until it becomes suffocating and nearly impossible to repay. Sure, you could declare bankruptcy, but then your credit score will be ruined and it will be difficult to borrow money for years to come. Since some employers check applicants' credit scores before hiring them, it could even affect your ability to work. (Learn how to keep your credit score healthy and your debt under control in 6 Major Credit Card Mistakes.)

The best way to use a credit card is to pay your balance in full and on time every month so you don't go into debt or have to pay interest. Still, sometimes going into credit card debt is the least bad option when money is tight. If that happens, limit your purchases to necessities and make a plan to pay off the debt as quickly as possible as soon as your situation improves.

Plastic Can Encourage Spending

That being said, even if you do pay your balance in full and on time each month, studies show that it may be psychologically easier to spend - or to spend more for the same products and services - when you're paying with plastic than when you're paying with cash. It can be even more tempting to overspend when you know you're earning points or cash back. But credit card rewards, with the exception of sign-up bonuses, are a pittance compared to the interest you'll pay if you carry a balance. They're also a pittance compared to the overspending you might do when you pay with plastic. (Instead of rationalizing, learn how to talk yourself out of buying things you can't afford by reading 9 Reasons to Say "No" to Credit.)

If you're trying to reduce your spending, try paying with cash more often and see how it feels and whether you do in fact spend less.

RELATED: Worst Case Scenario for Credit Card Debt

Late Payment Fees Can Make It Harder to Catch Up

Understandably, credit card issuers want customers to make at least the minimum monthly payment on time. As a result, they penalize customers who are late. Under the CARD Act, the fee for the first late payment a consumer makes is limited to $25, and the fee for each additional late payment within six months can be up to $35.

While these fees are low in the grand scheme of things, for someone who has fallen on hard times and can't even scrape together the minimum payment before it's due, fees can make it harder to catch up. For a customer with plenty of financial resources who has simply forgotten a deadline, late fees are just an annoyance. But they can eat away at your credit score.

High Balances Can Hurt Your Credit Score

Simply carrying a credit card or multiple credit cards will not hurt your credit score. In fact, it can help your credit score, as we'll explain in section 8. But if you spend more than 20% of your credit limit - even if you pay your balance in full - your credit score may suffer because using a significant percentage of one's available credit is considered a risk factor in the eyes of the credit bureaus. (See 6 Benefits of Increasing Your Credit Limit and Is It Possible to Have a Credit Limit That's Too High?)
