Empower Learners to take responsibility for their Digital Footprint

Creating a blog profile is an opportunity for learners to connect with and understand that every time they share online it is contributing to creating their digital footprint. They need to make smart decisions about what personal information they share when creating their blog profile.

Learners with a new Blog

• Have learners connected with the Kawa of Care and elements of the  Responsible Use Agreement? e.g. Exploring Blogs, Exploring Online Profiles,
• Have learners created a blog profile?
• Have learners prepared to share The First Post?
• Identify multiple opportunities for learners to post existing DLOs from their Drive, with your support, to build confidence with the components of a blog post and the process of posting.

Learners with exisiting blogs

• Have learners updated their profile for 2019?

• Would it be helpful for learners to Explore examples of online profiles and consider different formats for creating a profile e.g. webpage, screencast, short video

• Use the featured post gadget in the blog layout to display a link to their blog profile. For example

• Profile post labels: If learners have profiles from previous year include the same labels. This creates a single link to all profiles to compare and contrast e.g. empower learners to understand they are responsible for their digital footprint.
