Digital Literacy Tour Stops in Pittsburgh, PA

High school teachers at yesterday’s event

iKeepSafe and Google’s Digital Literacy Tour made another stop yesterday in Pittsburgh, PA.

iKeepSafe CEO & President, Marsali Hancock, along with James Hancock, Director of Web Strategy, and Shannon Seeger, Program Associate, conducted three events at the Barack Obama Academy of International Studies specifically for high school teachers, middle school teachers, and parents.

One of the things that Marsali discussed with each group was iKeepSafe’s 3 C’s of digital citizenship:

Appropriate Contact: Teach kids how to have healthy and appropriate relationships online and explain your expectations for those they communicate with online. Help them to recognize and protect themselves from cyberbullies, hackers, phishers, and predators. Explain to them that we never really know who is on the other end of a communication.

Appropriate Content: Communicate clearly your expectations for acceptable content. Is it healthy, responsible, ethical? This includes content that is both viewed and uploaded by kids. Help them understand that the Internet is forever: everything they post online can be tracked and stored and will follow them to future job interviews and college entrance interviews.

Appropriate Conduct: Teach kids appropriate online behavior. Because the web can feel anonymous, some youth become uninhibited online. Help them be the good person online that they are offline.

The group also watched this video and discussed the importance of building a positive online reputation:
