As you could see, digital citizenship is pretty important for me.
Being a good digital citizen includes:
- being aware of your digital footprints;
- demonstrating safe and respectful online etiquette;
- not cyber-bullying, sexting, or posting inappropriate photos and/or videos,
- making important decisions about what to post to social media sites; and,
- not downloading or uploading inappropriate content
For this blog, I would like you to CREATE an important Digital Citizenship message using MEMES!
A meme in a generic message about a behaviour that is passed around on-line.
Using makeameme.org, create a MEME about being a GOOD Digital Citizen. On the blog site, write an explanation about the meme you've created. Explain why you've chosen that image? Explain the text on your meme! How is your meme effective?
TURNING IT IN: You need to PRINT your MEME.
I chose a polar bear as my image because I just loved the face it was making and it fit my captions really well. On my meme I said: would you say that to my face, and the polar bears face was lika confused/disgusted face. The purpose of this is to enforce the fact that hating online is a problem and would you really say what you said to that persons face?
ReplyDeleteI really like the photo you chose and what you wrote. Great blog
DeleteI totally agree! Gr8 blog!
DeleteI really like the ideas go your meme, and I also think that before posting you should always think would I ever say this to the person face. Great blog
DeleteI think this is fantastic because it's so true and everyone should be thinking exactly what you wrote as your caption
DeleteFor this meme, I chose the image of a serious looking eagle. I chose this image because what I wrote on the image is serious, but also the eagle's face was funny. I wrote, "Always think before posting". I wrote this because many people don't think before posting. They just do whatever they want and don't realize what one photo can do to them. A lot of people just delete a photo and think their problem is solved. But it's much bigger than that. When you post something, it will always be on the internet. Same for snapchat. When you send a snap to someone and they open it or put something on your story for "24 hours", people think it's gone after that. But there will always be a way to find it again.
ReplyDeleteI agree people should think before posting
DeleteI agree, people should think before posting
DeleteMy meme was a person holding his finger to his head showing how something is logical. I chose this because my meme is about something logical. I wrote: if you don't want to be a bad digital citizen, don't be a digital citizen at all. I am trying to say that not using social media or internet is the best solution to making everyone better digital citizens. Completely avoiding the roots of the problem is the best and most logical way to get rid of the problem.
ReplyDeletewow good blog!!!!
Deletehuh there is no solution if the problem doesn't exist XD
Deletethats deep

ReplyDeleteThe meme that I chose was Spock petting a cat and looking at the screen very puzzled like. I wrote on this picture, my meme which said " You think that I ONLY have 250 followers?!" I wrote this because almost everyone has social media and uses it A LOT and many of the people who use social media are serious about how many followers they have. Having many followers is important to them and I chose that picture because with the meme it looks like Spock is a bit insulted that someone would think so low of him that they would think that he had ONLY 250 followers. My meme is about the perception of the importance of the quantity of followers that you have on any social media.
ReplyDeleteI also think that not having a lot of followers is ok because it doesn't matter. What matters is if you posted something mean or inappropriate just to get followers. Followers aren't the most important things in the world, friends are. Friends that you meet face to face not online. Sur if some of your friends that you know could be online and you would know who they are but some people you might not know and talking to strangers online is dangerous and not worth adding if it increases the amount of followers you have.
That is a great idea wish i would have thought of it.

ReplyDeleteI chose the salt guy as the picture in my meme because his whole image is being a perfectionist. The message I chose to write is, “Making sure everything I post is appropriate, thoughtful, respectful and positive”. I decided to list a bunch of factors I think it’s important to consider before posting something online to add to the comedic effect of being a perfectionist. I really do make sure of these four things amongst others before posting something online,(they’re pretty self-explanatory) and I encourage others to do so as well!
Great blog!
DeleteI believe that people are always very surprised when they realize that they have a digital footprint but even more surprised when they find out the footprint is permanent in the sense that it won't go away. In elementary school when we always talked about digital citizenship there was never talk about our footprints but more of the generic things about being a good digital citizen even if (I believe) it's just as important to talk about. I believe this would be the reaction of a person who has done some pretty not good things and just realized it would be following them forever.
ReplyDeleteThe meme I made was the most interesting man in the world. H e said that he uses the internet properly because, as many people do not. Advertisers used this idea to get people to follow what "the most interesting man in the world" would do and buy their product. Same thing with this. Unfortunately people like to abuse the internet in many ways. People are getting bullied everyday just because of stupid things like this. If people followed him, this wouldn't be a problem anymore.
ReplyDeleteFor this blog I decided to make this meme on the picture of the bad luck brian because his face looked like he was thankful for something so I wrote “Thank you for not posting that online, if you did you would of, it wouldn't of been a nice thing to do” I wrote that because if you write something online it will alway be there and if you delete it it is still not delete. So when you write something online think before you post something.
ReplyDeleteI decided to make my meme about an slightly more overlooked topic, which is being aware of your digital footprints. Everyone always talks about the obvious parts of being a good digital citizen, like being safe and respectful, but we actually don't hear much about the consequences of not being a good digital citizen. So for my meme, I used the photo of the guy pointing at his head and I wrote “remember, deleting doesn’t mean it's gone”.
ReplyDeleteNothing that goes on the internet leaves the internet. There's always a way to find it again.
Deletefor this blog/ meme thing I chose a picture of Ferris Buehler in the shower with a Mohawk and a worried face. in the caption I wrote ( damn, shouldn't have send that photo) I don't know why I wrote that I just did plus being a good digital citizen means not sending inappropriate picture and cyber bullying people,etc
ReplyDeleteThat’s a really great idea !
DeleteFor my meme I chose a guy pointing at his head with the caption saying always remember to respect and protect yourself online. I chose that because you should know that already. No matter what you post or delete, it’ll always be there on the internet. You have to protect yourself from making a mistake. You also should respect yourself and shouldn’t post inappropriate things or pictures online. Yes you may have the perfect body etc but that doesn’t mean that everyone wants to see it.

ReplyDeleteFor my meme I decided to choose a picture of this little boy in a yellow shirt and he's making a confused face. I then write for my caption: "so you're telling me, I shouldn't send this photo?". I wanted it to signify that adults/parents should inform their children (obviously not as young as the boy in the picture) the dangers of social media and how even when you erase something it's never really erased for good.
ReplyDeleteFor my meme, I chose a picture of Willy Wonka making a "suspicious" face or a "did you just-" face. I chose this picture because it is like saying "do you really wanna do that?" and I thought his face was the best. On the meme is written: "Do you really wanna post that tho???". My meme is effective because it will make teenagers think twice before doing their silly actions.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it!
DeleteFor my meme I took a picture of trump where he looked dumb (all of the pictures) And I wrote on top: be a good digital citizen and on the bottom: do not rant on twitter at 2 in the morning without thinking about the consequences. This meme is effective because it shows you what the opposite of a good digital citizen is and what they do wrong, this especially applies to trump because he has said things that have negatively affected North America, such as when he almost got his country nuked by insulting Kim Jong-Un on social media. So that is why I chose to make this meme.
ReplyDeleteFor my meme I decided to use a troll face. Its supposed shows the discord the the person who posted something they didn't want to will receive as people can take the pictures of what others posted and and extort them forcing them to pay money. Its meant to say a message that basically whatever you put on the internet, it will be there forever and others can extort you because of it. Always be careful of what you post if you dont want it in the wrong hands
ReplyDeleteI agree with your meme. You always need to be careful of what you post and where you post it.
DeleteFor my meme, I decided to use fry's face from futurama to create my meme.The text said "when you see someone not being a good digital citizen" He was squinting in a sort of way that represented him judging you. I wanted the viewer to feel as if they were being judged, since it is wrong to not be a good digital citizen. My meme is effective, since it makes the viewers feel as if what they are doing is wrong(if they are not being a good digital citizen) and should refrain from not being a good digital citizen. My meme basically discourages the fact of not being a good digital citizen.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny and educational at the same time! I love your creativity.
DeleteSorry this is late, I forgot to log into my account when I submitted it.
ReplyDeleteI made a meme with a picture of Morpheus from The Matrix. It says “What if I told you Digital Citizenship is underrated”. I made this meme because in our day and age even with all our technology and with education on how to properly use it, we still don’t talk enough about digital citizenship. Kids want to have fun, not be educated. Unfortunately this mentality can lead to a certain thought that technology is why people wake up in the morning. It really isn’t. Sure there are machines to keep a person alive, but nobody is talking about those machines, only their computers and cell phones and their social media. Those who don’t talk about those things are either educated or depressed because of what they have seen, heard and read on the internet. Digital citizenship IS underrated, and we need more of it in today’s society.
I love the Matrix! Can't wait to see your meme!
DeleteI choose this picture because it is someone saying good job to you for what you have done and I choose to write the text because if you said something mean to someone online you would not want your parents to see it. Plus my parents have always told me do not say something to someone else if you would not want us to hear it.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that your parents are reminding you to reflect before you post or say something online, since nothing can really be deleted and it could always come back to you.
DeleteFor my meme, I decided to choose the ever so famous image of the guy who is pointing his finger at his head. The caption states " Your nudes will never be shown to others, if you never take them in the first place ". I chose to make this meme because I believe that it is very relevant to the millennial society today. Lots of girls and boys are taking naked pictures of themselves and sending those images to others. And the ending is always the same, the picture is sent to hundreds of people and it ruins that person's image. Celebrities have also taken naked pictures of themselves and hackers have hacked their phones and published the images! Lots of celebrities get mad at the press, but I always tell myself " If they don't want naked pictures of themselves all over the internet, they never should have taken the pictures in the first place ".
ReplyDeleteWhy I chose do this meme is because when you post something, it is there forever. Even if you delete it, you can most likely still find it if someone has taken a screen shot or hacked your account and found it. The text on my meme is that if you have never posted an inappropriate picture or video, it can never truly be deleted. What I mean by that is that you messed up. My meme is effective in the way that many people have tried to delete posts before but they find out it keeps on coming up. Then they start to think if they should have had posted it in the first place. (Sorry for being late I had computer troubles)
ReplyDeleteI chose to use the meme I created to talk about how when applying for jobs or colleges and whatnot they can see what you’ve been doing on the internet. I wanted to refer to your digital footprint that is left behind and that never goes away. You always have to keep in mind that nothing is actually private and that you should always be careful. If these colleges and jobs find out that you’ve left a bad digital footprint they can deny your application. The things you do online, while it may not seem like it, can and do affect your life online and offline.
