This is a re-post of one I put up about 3 or so years ago. It's a suggestion for a Digital Survival Kit, designed by a teacher in the US for his class .. mainly to reinforce some of what he teaches. Sometimes visual props can make a point better than all the words can.
Any other suggestions to add?
Padlock: to remind you to have strong passwords
Toothbrush: Would you share your toothbrush? No? Don't share your passwords either.
Permanent Marker: EVERYTHING you put on the Internet is there forever
Toothpaste: You can't get toothpaste back into the tube - nor can you ever take your posts off the Web.
Magnifying Glass: What shows up when people search you on Google? Is that what you want people to know about you? Will it get you a job later?
Fake Tattoo: 'Digital Tattoo' instead of 'Digital Footprint'. Footprints can be washed away - a tattoo is much harder to get rid of.
Sheet of paper: Screw it up, stomp on it - now smooth it out and try to make it as new as it was.That's what happens with cyber bullying - the marks are always there.
Strainer: Know how to 'strain the real' from the Internet. In other words, know how to spot fake stuff and don't get caught out by hoaxes.
