My focus in Digital Citizenship was Digital Security (self-protection). When this project began I informed my students to not put their full names on their projects or their names at all. Many of my students looked at me funny because this is very opposite to what I ask them to do with their other assignments. This opened up the conversation about who will be viewing and how public our videos will be. I told them it was safer to not put their names on the assignments. Why? My website which houses the blog and videos is public. We don't know who will be viewing. One students mentioned that we also doesn't know if they will "sample" or use parts of our videos either. In addition, when taking pictures I shot the backs of their heads in order to protect their identity. I think for some students this was the first time they thought about who can see things they post on-line and that they might want to keep things private. Also, the class doesn't know what the user name I use to upload videos to You-tube because I had wanted to make them private but couldn't. They had to be made public so others can view them. I want to protect them from negative comments that can happen on You-tube, All of these measures are done to protect their privacy and identity.
