EdTech: How to tread a positive digital footprint
Each time we contribute to the web, in public spaces and in private spaces we share, we leave a trail for others to find.
The modules Digital well-being for all (Part 1) and Digital well-being for all (Part 2) explored how this is done and how we might manage it for the best outcomes.
In this module, we will explore awareness of how digital technologies can negatively affect well-being.

Using real world examples relevant to the setting, e.g. Linkedin or professional emails and messaging for 'modelling' digital footprints, could work well.
Really useful module to think about my own social media and how i can model good practice to learners
brilliant . short and useful. I like the drag and drop
I really enjoyed this one. Thought provoking and some really simple ideas presented for working with students.
Excellent introduction to digital footprint
This is an excellent module, encouraging the tutor to consider the impact of the use of ICT without complicating it with issues relating to Data Protection. It encourages the learner to think about the ways in which information displayed or posted can be misinterpreted and the consequences of that.
Your digital footprint is important and is difficult to erase.
Good knowledge shared
thanks for this, very interesting
Good bitesize reminders and scary to search my name, worth doing
This module has encouraged me to check my privacy area before and after I have posted items of interest.
This is very relevant, stories submitted on to social media reappear many years later and can prejudice someones prospect or may even appear in the tabloid press
Good to go back to basics
Good life skills and mostly common sense.
Excellent additional resources - a good reminder for all not just teaching staff.
I wouldn't be telling everybody that they must create a strong web identity.
really useful reminder about my digital footprint
Useful information for me to share with my learners.
I have nothing to say I have nothing to say I have nothing to say I have nothing to say I have nothing to say
Some good points clearly delivered.
Good resource outlining the basic principles of your digital footprint
very informative
Good netiquette - like it
Quick module which seems to overlap with another
lovely
As I often write in the public domain this is good to go over again and keep in mind.
Excellent way to present how to tread a positive digital footprint.
The pace at which all these digital skills eg using messaging tools (communication), cloud-based tools
(collaboration, teamwork, creativity), and social media (research, critical thinking) have grown over the last year has kept me on my toes. I have learnt how to make sure my profiles are private but have found since the cloud based servers have come on line that the cloud concept confuses me and makes me nervous in the way that the Facebook and the Instagram did at first. It is just another way of saving and working on files and I have some aspects of working on line and researching very engaging, I think I enjoy the challenge of completing a course on line. what I find hard and challenging is the absence of paper based note taking! So I cannot re-read and think about the learning creatively like I would in a sketch pad...Trello maybe ? mmm
Awful
Super!
A good look through
Some useful content.
With my emphasis on learners with limited experience of ICT its important to emphasise these points from the start - maybe by highlighting news stories that relate the problems that can arise when information and/or pictures are shared unwisely.
Good
very useful and I will heed the advice.
Critical thinking about online comments
Disagree on one of the positives but the rest is informative.
some of the phrasing on the positive/negative statements was not very clear
The module explains the negative effect of technology
yes its useful to be reminded and remind your learners - google your learners and colleaugues
Very thought provoking
