Google Digital Citizenship & Safety course by Sandie Waters https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os Now that you have completed the Google Digital Citizenship & Safety course, you will make a post stating 1 thing you already knew about this subject and 3 things that you learned from this course in the same post. We will all contribute to this digital push pin board. Include your name as the subject. en-us 2021-07-08 06:02:48 UTC 2023-02-13 06:33:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9de-2642.png Alexis Neibaur https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2442668710 Something that I already knew about digital safety is the importance of making your password a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols and making it 8-9 characters long.

Three things I learned through this assignment:
1. You should use a "passphrase" when creating new passwords. It may be a sentence that is easy for you to remember.
2. You should not log into various accounts or online banking while using public wifi.
3. The 's' at the end of https indicates the connection is encrypted and secure.]]> 2023-01-12 18:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2442668710 Carli Tanner https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447420818 Something that I already knew about digital citizenship is that you should never post a picture or anything that will show your location or perhaps give any idea into where you live or are at. This is dangerous for strangers and stalkers to have this information and we must protect it to be safe.

Three things I learned about digital citizenship are as follows:
1- I know its bad to enter banking details on public wifi but I did not know usernames and passwords for social networks were dangerous on these networks too.
2- I did not know that installing system updates helps keep mobile devices secure and protected. I usually look past these updates of such.
3- I did not think about how smart it is to send yourself an email with your login information and use a password manager. These are super safe and trusted spaces to use!]]> 2023-01-17 19:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447420818 Ruth Shelton ruthshelton01 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447442306 Something that I knew before taking this course is that when you are finished with a public computer or a device that is not your own you should log out of all of your accounts. 

Three things that I learned from this course: 
1. While on public WIFI's you shouldn't do any banking or make any purchases on your device or your information could be compromised. 
2. That you should have a lot of different passwords not just 1 or 2 for all of your logins.
3. I also found it interesting that keeping your system devices up to date can help keep your information secure. ]]> 2023-01-17 20:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447442306 Avry Dunsmoor https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447554836 Somethign that I already knew about digital citizenship is that it is important to not share the location of your photos because someone can see where you live.

Three things that I learned from this course:
1. I didn't know that people can take your username and passwords when you are on a public wifi.
2. I didn't know the steps I should take if I found out that one of my students was getting bullied online.
3. I didn't know that I could see reviews or comments on something I was going to download to see if it is reliable or not.]]> 2023-01-17 22:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447554836 Ana Cordova https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447673352 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship is to treat others the way you would want to be treated because even on social media there is a real person with feelings on the other end of a post, picture, or comment. 
Three things I learned from the Google Digital Citizenship and Safety Course: 
1. That pictures can include a "GeoTag" that can give other people your location or address.
2. I learned that the "s" in https stands for secure and means a connection is encrypted and secure. You should always make sure the websites you visit have https in the beginning of the URL address.
3. I also learned about creating "passphrases" and how this can help with creating safe passwords that will be easy for the creator of the password to remember.

1. Something that I learned in this course is the importance of teaching our students about passwords and that we need to change them often and make them "strong" passwords. 
2. The second thing that I learned was the importance of secure wi-fi networks and how we need to be careful which networks we join and how much access they have to our devices.
3. Lastly, I learned was that we not only need to teach our students to recognize inappropriate behavior on the internet but we also need to teach them how to report it. ]]> 2023-01-18 02:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2447749471 Megan Jorgensen https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448619595 Something I already knew is that you should never use a public computer to log in to important accounts like your bank account.

Things I learned:
1. You need multiple passwords that are unique to you. I've always reused 2 passwords for all my accounts.
2. I never realized that public wifi could be dangerous. It's important to use a secure network to keep your information safe.
3. I also learned that keeping your system updates up to date keeps your information secure!]]> 2023-01-18 16:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448619595 Sarah Hansen https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448827745 Something that I already knew about digital citizenship before taking the safety course, was to never click suspicious links in emails from people I don’t know. These links are often harmful and can lead to virus’s or hackers accessing your information. 

Things I learned: 
1. The first thing I learned is a strategy for creating a strong passwords by using phrases. Out of the phrase you take the first letter of every word or number and then add symbols if possible. An example of this for me would be My name is Sarah Hansen and im 19 and go to UVU, Mnishai19@U 

2. The next thing that I learned was that you should never log into personal accounts or banking when on a local Wi-Fi network. I feel like I should have known this, but I never thought about it. From now on I will make sure when I am on a network besides my own, I won’t enter any personal information. 

3. The third thing that I learned was that when you post any picture people can often trace it back to the location it was taken. This kind of scares me and I need to be more careful when posting pictures especially ones that were from my house.  ]]> 2023-01-18 18:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448827745 Josh Kidd https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448910553 Something I had already known before taking the course is that you should never stay logged into a website while using a public computer, or a device that isn't your own. Even if you're using a friends device, still log out! You never know when they might try and be funny.

1. First, I learned that you should keep your system up to date. This is one thing I've been slacking on, so from now on I'll be making sure to stay updated.

2. Second, I learned that "passphrases" can be used to make strong passwords

3. Third, I learned that you should avoid logging into various accounts while on public wifi]]> 2023-01-18 19:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448910553 Ashlyn Moore ashlynkate222 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448995277 Something that I already knew about the digital citizenship course before taking it was that you need to log out of your accounts especially when you are on a public computer or shared computer. 

Things I learned:
1. I learned about the URL's and how the "s" means that a website is secure. I never really noticed that before.
2. I didn't know that when you rae connected to public Wi-Fi that they have access to your device and the information on it. 
3. I learned more about passwords and what makes a good, secure password. As well as the importance of a strong password.]]> 2023-01-18 21:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2448995277 McKenna Patterson mckennapatt20 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450274321 I really enjoyed taking this course. Google did a great job in creating a course simple yet very informative. Something I knew before taking this course was not clicking on suspicious links or believing random pop ups that say my device has been infected. I avoid that always. 

Things that I learned:
1. Do not use the same password for many different websites. I am guilty of this. I loved the idea of creating a sentence that is easy to remember and then taking the first letter of each word and that is your password. 

2. I learned that connecting to Wife Networks outside of trusted networks is dangerous. Sometimes, my reception is bad so I will scroll through Wifi Networks that are available and join those. I am now realizing the danger of that. 

3. Lastly, I learned that we must be careful about the information shared over the internet. Tags to our actual address, comments that we are out of town, or other personal information. People can easily put together information and use it against us. ]]> 2023-01-19 19:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450274321 Rachel Spendlove 11020432 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450298401 Going into this activity, I already knew the importance of using two-factor authentication on private accounts such as bank and email accounts. This greatly reduces the possibility of someone logging in without your being aware of it.

Three things I learned from this activity are:
1. To teach students to fact-check information they find by comparing the information with three other sources. This will be helpful in their schoolwork, but even more importantly, in helping them draw conclusions based on facts, rather than the opinions of others. 
2. Checking the URL for https and the locked padlock icon can help you and students know that the site is safe and reputable. 
3. Children often get access to the internet and social media before they are taught how to use them safely and appropriately. In order to ensure they do not put themselves at risk online, we as educators should inform them of the possible risks involved with technology use and how to safeguard themselves against them. ]]> 2023-01-19 19:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450298401 Brinley Dowdle https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450310684 One thing that I already knew about digital citizenship is that you should not use personal information for your passwords like your name or birthday. You should use letters, numbers, symbols, and something that could be easily guessed.

Three things I learned through this assignment: 
1. Keeping your technology up to date can help keep your information safe.
2. Public wifi can have access to things on your phone when you use it and so you need to make sure you use a secure browser.
3. I didn't know that the "s" in "https" means that the website is secure. ]]> 2023-01-19 19:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450310684 Adelin Brower browerelise https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450408567 Something I already knew about digital citizenship is the importance of not sharing locations of pictures when posting or posting about your vacation while you are currently on it, then other's know your house is unattended. 

Three things I learned from this course: 
1. Contrasting 3 legitimate sources and finding one opposing source when searching about health, news, or historical events.  I used to fall victim too often to checking one source. 
2. While logged into public wifi avoid checking banking apps and purchasing orders using credit/debit cards.  That information can be leaked while on public networks. 
3. Using a "passphase" as a password. Having a strong password was known but I haven't heard of "passphase" until now. ]]> 2023-01-19 21:27:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450408567 Emily Eckersley https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450429165 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship before taking this course was to never open emails or pop-ups that look suspicious because they can hack into your system and steal your personal information.

Things I learned:
1. Do not open banking information or log into accounts while on public wifi. I never knew that while on public wifi your information was accessible to hackers. It's definitely something that I'm going to watch out for now.

2. The 's' in https meant that the website was secure. To be honest, I never really paid attention to the websites I go on and thought that all websites started with https. 

3. You should always try to keep your device's system updated, this can help you keep your information more secure from hackers who have sometimes figured out ways to bypass older systems. ]]> 2023-01-19 21:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450429165 Addi Garrett https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450461048 One thing I knew is to create a passphrase so that your password is secure and memorable.

What I learned: 
1. Public/unsecured wifi networks can be used to intercept info
2. Updating apps so security bugs are fixed
3. To determine if a source has true information to contrast it with three different sources

]]> 2023-01-19 22:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450461048 Bethany Stewart https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450480104 One thing I already knew about digital safety is to create different passwords.  I am not always amazing at creating passwords, but I did know that you should be careful and not reuse them.
3 things I learned:
1. I learned how to check if a website or source is good or should be avoided.  The tips were very helpful and I will be sure to remember and be aware of them.
2. The second thing I learned is that you should be very careful and aware of what you are posting on social media.  While it may feel safe to put certain things on social media, if you are not careful, it can be dangerous.
3.  The third thing I learned is that it is how to be aware if I am getting scammed.  I learned that there are certain things to look for and be aware of. ]]> 2023-01-19 23:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450480104 Grace Davis 10879526 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450533955 One thing that I already knew about digital citizenship is that you shouldn't use the same password more than once, if you use the same password multiple times people can guess it easier. 

Three things I learned through this assignment:
1. Students need to be taught that not all websites are reliable. People will create fake websites in order to take people's information. 
2. Every time you go on the internet you are leaving a digital footprint. Everything you put on the internet stays there, everything you search or websites you visit can be tracked. I know everyone has a search history but I didn't know that websites you visit and things like that can be tracked.
3. When you are connected to a public WiFi network your information can be taken through it. You shouldn't enter private information or log into emails or social network accounts, or things like that when using a public network. ]]> 2023-01-20 01:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450533955 Corinne Curtis corinne6curtis2 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450542897 One thing that I already knew about digital citizenship is being careful about what you post online. Being aware of what you are posting and who will see it is a super important aspect to remember.

Three things that I learned about digital citizenship:
1. Using a passphrase for your new passwords. I thought that was very smart how they created that password making it impossible for a scammer to guess.
2. I did not know that the s in https meant secure. This is a super smart thing for all of our future students to know while they looking for reliable websites.
3. Lastly I learned about not logging into important accounts while on public Wi-Fi. Avoiding this will keep hackers from getting our important passwords to accounts we own.]]> 2023-01-20 01:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450542897 Jessica Sorenson sorensonjessica12 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450559072 One thing I already knew about digital citizen ship is that you should never click on pop ups or respond to suspicious messages. There is a way that they can hack into your stuff. 

Things I learned: 

1. Using public or unsecured Wi-Fi can be used to hack into your stuff. Ans that you should never open online banking or log into accounts on those WIFI's. 

2. I never knew that checking the URL for https, mainly the "s" in it and the locked padlock icon means that the website is safe. 

3. I always struggle with creating passwords with so many different accounts. So learning about the best way to make a strong password was new to me and I definitely will be using that now.

Three things I learned
1) You should use a "passphrase" when creating a password and then create a sentence to help you remember. 
2) Always check the authentication of a source by looking at the publication date and then checking multiple sources on the same topic to get reliant information.
3) You should not log into important accounts like your banking account while on public wifi or internet. ]]> 2023-01-20 01:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450568696 Jenna Smith 11020487 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450618422 Something that I already knew before taking the course was that passwords should be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to be considered a strong password.  You should also have different passwords for different accounts.

Three things I learned:
1. You shouldnt order things online while on a public wifi network because that is a way for hackers to get your credit card and other personal information

2. You should not tag your location when posting because that is an easy way for people to see where you live or go to school. Also think before you post. The stuff you decide to post could haunt your future

3. You should keep your phone, apps, and all information up to date so that it stays safe and you're able to stay away from viruses and hackers]]> 2023-01-20 03:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450618422 Brooke Cox https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450664080 I already knew that it is important to keep your personal information safe and private. 

I learned that it is important to not have the same password for everything because if someone figures it out then they have access to everything. I already knew that but it helped remind me of the importance of it and see it in a new way. I also learned about the password phrases that are a good way to make a password that people aren't able to guess but are still easy to remember. Finally, I learned that the s at the end of https means that a website is secure. I had no idea that was even a thing until taking this course. ]]> 2023-01-20 04:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450664080 Samantha Jolley samjolley002 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450705129 Something that I already knew about digital citizenship is that you should keep your passwords safe and protected. You should also make your passwords hard to detect with many lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and different types of characters.

Three things that I learned: 
1. That you need to be careful about what and where you post on social media. It would be best to not put your location on your posts so that those that viewing your posts won't know if you are out of town or not. 

2. I learned about the importance of using a password manager along with emailing yourself your login information. This is something that I have not personally done before taking this course, but will begin to do so now. 

3. It is important to us a two-factor authentication because it adds an extra layer of security for your account.]]> 2023-01-20 06:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450705129 Natalee Sorensen nataleelott https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450715429 One thing that I already knew about digital citizenship is that it is important to only use other's work on the internet that you have permission to use and that you should give them credit for it. 

One thing that I learned during this course was that lots of things make up your digital footprint. Little things like the comments that you leave on social media or the things that you search for are apart of your digital footprint and I did not know that. 

Another thing that I learned is that part of being safe and secure online is making sure that your phone is locked. I oftentimes think of people stealing my information over the internet, I hadn't given much thought to them trying to steal information via looking at my phone directly. 

I learned that scammers will try to trick you into believing they are a legitimate company by having email addresses that are similar to the actual email address of that company. ]]> 2023-01-20 06:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2450715429 Loreana Guevara 10989207 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451484527 One thing I knew about Digital Citizenship and Safety is having a strong password. It is so important to keep your information safe with passwords that are strong and people are unable to guess. If someone guesses your password and gets into your accounts, they can have access to a lot of your personal information. 

Three things I learned in this course:
1.) I learned that public wifi networks can be used to access your information, so it is important you don't enter personal information while connected to unsecured networks. 

2.) You should verify information with three other sources and include one opposing source, so that you can get the most accurate information about any topic. 

3.) Social engineering is a form of content that tricks you into revealing your personal information by creating a sense of urgency or looking like it was sent from a reliable source. ]]> 2023-01-20 19:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451484527 Emily Vincent ervelephant https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451486229 Something that I already knew about digital citizenship before this course was the importants of logging out of websites when your on a public computer. This is something that I have always been taught in school so its something that I have always remembered.

One thing that I didn't know before was how much your digital footprint covers. I knew of it but I always thought it was just tracking what you look at on the web. I never really thought of people looking up the location of where you pictures are taken before. I will have to pay closer attention to this now.

I have never thought of doing a paraphrase as a password before. My sister did one for a pizza place once and that was the hardest one to remember so I have never thought of doing it for myself before. But its a good idea for a password I will have to think about doing that again. I will probably pick a easier sentence to remember for it then what she did.

The last new thing that I learned was the the s in https meant secure. I never knew that before and now i'm always going be looking for it now. I have always also look for the lock but I have never looked for the s at the end. That is something really helpful that I have learned]]> 2023-01-20 19:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451486229 Caleb Hale https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451631640 I went into this course thinking I knew it all but boy was I wrong! I will say that definitely knew how to make a strong password and what a 2 step verification process was because googles blares that in my face constantly every time I try to log into a new account or on a new computer so yeah that wasn't knew. However there were a lot of things I didn't know, including these 3. 

1. One thing I didn't realize is how much information someone with nefarious intent could gain from just my social media posts. I was in europe for 2 months posting the whole time and it didnt ever occur to me that it was broadcasting where I might live and that i was out of the house if they wanted to steal stuff. this is good to know before I get a house.

2. Create a passphrase for your passwords. This will help a lot cause I use a lot of the same passwords because I cant remember which ones I use for which sights and doing passphrase will totally help with that.

3. it was also a great reminder to not take information at face value. Im on social media a lot and i would be lying if I didn't believe at least some things that pop up on my feed just cause there are stats. I need to be better at checking my sources against 2 or 3 reputable sources. ]]> 2023-01-20 23:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451631640 Claire Darby https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451670073 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship was that you should not use personal information in your passwords. This makes it much easier for hackers to steal your information.

Three things that I learned through this assignment:
1. I learned that an individual should approach on online reward for money, a free strip, or anything free the same way they would feel if a stranger on the street offered them a piece of candy. I have always been told never take candy from a stranger and understood the ramifications. So having these two situations compared helped me better understand the gravity of both.
2. Another thing I learned about digital citizenship is the proper way to remember and create passwords. Before this course I had never heard of a passphrase. I also didn't know there were safe apps to store passwords, or that you could email yourself passwords. 
3. I also learned how much goes under the umbrella of digital safety. I had never considered the idea of pulling research from multiple sources to be an aspect of it but after taking this course I am able to see why and how it is.]]> 2023-01-21 02:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451670073 Hadley Willyerd hadeyhoo https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2451969662
I already knew about the two-factor identification and use it for a lot of my important accounts. I think it’s great and if anyone really wants to feel secure about particular accounts, they should use it. 



1.      For creating multiple passwords for your different accounts, try using a simple pass phrase to break down that will be easy for you to remember and also meets the criteria for a secure password. 
2.      When using a public Wi-Fi network, avoid logging into your accounts and buying things online where you have to put in your financial information. Your information could be intercepted.
3.      If you want to verify that the website is the actual website, look at the URL and see if there is anything suspicious or something that shouldn’t be there like extra words or letter. Also, it will start with https with padlock icon before that.

I learned from this activity the importance of creating good passwords and not re-using them. I have been guilty of using the same password for multiple sites because it was easier to remember one than to remember three, however I realize that this is not safe because a hacker could potentially gain access to all of those accounts very easily. I also learned the importance of looking for "https" before web pages. I never knew that this verified the security of the webpage.

Also make sure your password isn't personal like your birthday for example. 
1. The first thing I learned about digital citizenship and safety is make sure any photos that you take don't give away where you live, make sure they don't have street names or anything that can clearly be seen as your current location. 
2. Keep your online reputation professional and respectful, don't use that power to bully or be rude to others. It is a lot easier to be mean when you can send a mean message and then not deal with it, you don't have to directly communicate with a certain person. Be someone everyone wants to have a good online relationship with. 
3. Make sure that the information and sources you use are reputable and you know the author can be trusted. You can't just trust google to know everything or to even have the right answers. ]]> 2023-01-22 02:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452128328 Makenzie Chidester 10969904 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452156871 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship and safety was that creating a strong password with a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters is important in keeping your information safe. 3 things I learned while taking this course was to look out for websites that begin with https as they are more secure, emailing your password to yourself is a safe way to not forget your password ( I would have thought the opposite), and don't log into anything on a public wifi network as your information can be compromised- I had no idea this was a danger!]]> 2023-01-22 04:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452156871 Natalie Munson 10841792 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452174119 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship and safety was to always sign out of any accounts you used on a computer that isn't yours so no one else would be able to access your information. 
Three things I learned was 1) to create different strong passwords for your accounts and remember them, you can use passphrases to remember them instead of having to write them all down. 2) even if you don't link your location to a photo you post online, it could still have a location address attached to it, so be mindful of what you post and how often. 3) I didn't know the "s" in https stood for secure and encrypted connection.]]> 2023-01-22 06:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452174119 Amy Fenstermaker 109550731 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452447660 one thing I already knew about digital citizenship before taking the course is that you shouldn't re-use passwords for a lot of different things because it makes it easier for a hacker to guess the passwords and potentially gain access to all of your private information. You should always make different passwords for different things to ensure maximum safety!

Here are some things that I learned during the course:
1. Keeping your devices up to date with the latest software actually protects you! The updates typically work to fix security issues. That's good to know because I usually put off doing updates until my devices make me. It just doesn't feel necessary.

2. I learned that when you're evaluating online sources for information you should always ask these questions:
where- where is it published?
who- who wrote it?
what- what kind of website is it? what is the purpose of it? What was the author's point of view?
when- when was it published?
And then you should compare 3 different sources to make sure that you're getting the most correct and unbiased information available.

3. The last thing I learned is that photos you post on social media can be geo- tagged. This means that even if you think your location is private, people will still be able to see where you are. If you post a picture in your house and don't turn the geo feature off, someone could potentially find out where you live. It's important to be aware of what information you're sharing!]]> 2023-01-22 17:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452447660 Ashley Watson https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452556887 One thing I already knew about was companies using ads to say that your computer is infected, when really its not and they want to steal your personal information.
1. One thing I learned was having the s after https means the site is secure. I had never paid attention to that before. 
2. Another thing I learned was how bad connecting to local wifi networks is. And if I connect not to enter any username and password, credit card, or online bank. I have my bank app on my phone and I use it all the time while connected to wifi's out in public. 
3. I also learned about social engineering. I had no idea it was content that tricks you into revealing personal information. I will be more skeptical of things and watch out more closely for scams.

Something I already knew was that never trust ads telling you there is a problem with your computer.
3 things I learned are.
1. Check for the lock at the top of a webpage to make sure its secured.
2. Make sure you are only you have checked your privacy settings to keep your information you share online with only the intended audience.
3. Your location is tagged with images on some social media sharing.]]> 2023-01-22 21:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452593240 Alexandra Paas alexandrampaas https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452629679 One thing that I already knew was to have strong passwords. I can say that this is not something I am the best at. It's so important to keep your personal information private and safe. Having a strong password will help prevent being hacked.

1. Going with having a strong password I learned that it is important to not have the same password for everything. Just because it's a strong password doesn't mean it can be used for every little thing.

2. I already knew the importance of using trusted websites but I learned more about how to find trusted websites. 

3. I learned more about the importance of signing out of your accounts especially when using a public computer.]]> 2023-01-22 23:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452629679 Ashley Beazer https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452648832 One thing I already knew was to savvy search. The way to search smart is to ask the following questions. Who wrote/posted this? What are they trying to say? When was this posted? Where was this posted? When it is about current events you have to really look at the when was this posted to make sure its current. 
Three things that I learned:
  1. Change letters in you password for symbols or numbers. Something that makes sense in my brain when thinking about how I would remember what I changed is to change the vowels for numbers. For example change an A for a 4 and then an E for a 3. 
  2. Signing into important things while on public wifi is dangerous. I never thought of how easily your information can be intercepted when on public wifi. I will be more aware of what I sign into when on public wifi because of the knowledge I’ve learned.
  3. Keeping your device and apps up to date is important. I never knew that updating those things helped the device be more protected. I need to update all my apps and devices to keep me more protected from scammers.

3 things that I learned:
1. Posting photos online when you are gone on vacation could lead someone to potentially rob your home. 
2.  You should always check your websites to make sure they have "https" to know that they are secure sites.

You aren't suppose to reuse passwords for multiple accounts, and it is important to keep your passwords in a secure place like a password manager.
The things that I learned about digital citizenship are:
1. Connecting to public wifi networks can make it really easy for people to steal your information
2. When trying to find information online, you really should have 3 different sources in order to know it is legit
3. The "s" in https means the connection is encrypted and secure]]> 2023-01-23 02:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452689167 Allie Roberts https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452696980 1 thing that I already knew about digital citizenship and safety was being mindful of random emails and pop-up ads that you receive. I always check the email address of emails that I receive that look unfamiliar.

1. I learned about using a pass phrase for passwords. I have a hard time remembering passwords and I think this would be super helpful, especially for children trying to remember their own passwords.

2. Ensuring that you are on a secured site by checking for the padlock and the https next to the url. I was always curious what that padlock meant, and I am so glad that I now know. Looking for https is also such an easy way of ensuring that you are on a safe site.

3. Teaching children what to keep private on the internet. Kids are so involved with the internet today and it is so important that they are aware of what they are posting and exposing about themselves. Making sure that they are keeping their privacy can avoid a lot of unsafe situations for them.]]> 2023-01-23 02:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452696980 Isabelle McCombs iamccombs29 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452715674 One thing that I already knew about digital citizenship is that you need to be very careful about what kind of information you are sharing online, especially through social media.

Three things that I learned about digital citizenship are
1. Your passwords can be managed through a password manager, and they should be changed often!
2. Sometimes scamming doesn't always appear as scamming. We need to make sure we are checking to see that what we are interacting with online is safe and what it says it is. 
3. Your online reputation is more important than you think! What you might think is fine to post right now could be considered inapproprate or disrespectful later. ]]> 2023-01-23 03:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452715674 Brynn Sherwood https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452725644 One thing I knew when going into this certification was the trap of scammers through certain platforms such as email. I know people that have dealt with that in the past.
Things I learned:
1) From a photo you are able to find out when and where the photo was taken even if you don't put that information out. It can still be surfaced back so you have to be careful.
2) You shouldn't connect to every wifi out in public. Be careful because connecting to unknown and unstable networks can lead to companies and people gaining personal information and data through that connection.
3) Make sure to check the https of a website. Fake sites will often not have the s in it or use a similar name to a trusted website. ]]> 2023-01-23 03:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452725644 Sadie Fronk 10962964 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452733176 One thing I already knew about digital citizenship and safety is that there are many things on the internet that want to trick you. There are tons of things on there that seem to be one thing and then are the opposite or just something negative. 
Some things I learned are that not only do we need to be mindful of what we view on the internet, but also what we post. We should not post anything that is untrue or false information because it can negatively impact someone's internet experience. We also need to fact-check the things we post on the internet, if we do not then we are adding to the issue. The last thing I took away from this is to give credit where credit is due. We need to give credit to anyone whos information we use or gain insight from. Those all add to our digital citizenship.]]> 2023-01-23 03:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452733176 Kenzly Johnson 10993089 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452758526 Something I already knew in this course was to not open suspicious emails or advertisements. This has always been something my parents told me not to do.

I learned about making a password more memorable while still being strong is by using a passphrase. I had never thought of using this but I think its a great idea and could make my passwords stronger. 

I also learned that using public wifi can be super dangerous and your information can be stolen if you aren't careful. 

The third thing I learned is that keeping your systems updated could be beneficial to keeping my information secure it wasn't something I thought about before but I think it is great advice. ]]> 2023-01-23 04:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452758526 Julia Schneemann https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452772700 Three things I learned from this activity:
1. I had never thought about how private information could be so easily spread by just having a public account on instagram or somewhere you are posting pictures.  
2. I didn't know what 2 factor authorization is and that was helpful to learn because I have seen that pop up on my screen multiple times but didn't know what it meant.
3. I also never knew how important it would be do explain to my elementary students how to be safe online. Especially in a world that is changing so rapidly and technology is becoming more and more important. Of course I knew students would need to be careful but it was eye opening to read about how that would partially be my responsibility now. 

Something I knew was that you should always use different passwords and that they should have characters and capital letters. It's so important to keep your information private so I always follow these rules when creating a password. ]]> 2023-01-23 05:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452772700 Andrea Vazquez 10884136 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452794622 Something that I already knew about digital safety is not to click on popup windows because you are most likely getting scammed and it is not safe. 

Three things I learned were while completing my certificate were:
1. You shouldn't log in to accounts or banking while on a public wifi connection.
2. I learned that passphrase can be used to make a strong password.

I have always been aware of the dangers of who can see your stuff and potentially put you in danger if you post any personal information. A couple things I learned from this experience- 
1. The importance of creating a strong password- it makes sense to not use a simple, easy to guess password, but I learned a way to create a good effective one is by creating a passphrase. Not using the same password for everything, and enabling two-factor authentication to ensure internet safety! 
2. I learned not to try and connect to any Wi-Fi network available, because any network you can't fully trust can be easily intercepted. 
3. I learned more about safety online and digital footprints. Anything and everything you do online can be traced. ]]> 2023-01-23 06:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2452808060 Kinzee Fonnesbeck 10918598 https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2453694526 One thing I found I already knew was that you should always create a safe environment for yourself on social media and that whatever you post is now available to all.
Three things I learned were-
1. always create a new and secure password so if one does get one password they don't have all the passwords to every account. definitely will be checking and possibly updating all of them. 
2. always double-check an email from a company so that it won't be a scam email and become hacked. 
3. two-step authentication isn't just about making life harder it's about making it safer for your work to be protected all the way around so it is way better. ]]> 2023-01-23 18:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2453694526 Taylor Cima taylorecima https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2463423680
One thing I already knew was to have different passwords for different accounts you use because using the same one can be very risky. Things I learned were 1.that the s in https at the start of most websites means that the website is secure. 2. Children these days are taught about this more often. I remember when I was first taught this it wasn't until I was starting high school. 3. If your websites aren't private then anyone can hack into your account and could possibly hack into others. It is always very important to make your accounts private because being on public an be very risky.

Taking this course taught me about lots of different aspects of online safety. 
1. I learned about passphrases and using the first letter of each word in your passphrase. I thought this is a particularly useful way to create and remember passwords. 
2. I don't always think about the importance of making sure that my systems are updated. It was a helpful reminder to update them as they often include fixes to the system that can better protect your information. 
3. Unfortunately, I have previously learned that one of the tactics that scammers use is that sense of urgency through my own trial and error experience haha (I was trying to get into my Facebook but was unable to and tried calling their customer support number. When I googled it a phone number came up as the top result, so I trusted it. I called it, and they told me that my account had been hacked and we needed to download this one app in order to protect the rest of my information. Truth be told, I almost downloaded the app, but my friend felt off about the situation. After looking further into the situation and google search, it was discovered that Facebook doesn't have a customer service number. We didn't shop there again.) I wish when I was young that we had had some of those tactics outlined like they did in this lesson and I love that I get to share and teach that with the students in my class.]]> 2023-02-13 06:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sandie_waters2/njgqdy2nvfgaj6os/wish/2478454088
