Topic 5: Online behaviour

With all the surge in popularity of social media, this percentage is not surprising, But these results should call the attention to the importance of creating and maintaining positive online reputations.

This applies to every individual that is currently participating in social networks and developing a digital footprint with every "like" video and photo posted.
By posting positive information, pictures, statuses and videos they can create digital reputation that will be an asset for future school and employment opportunities.

There are a number of ways one can produce a positive digital reputation, such as

• Not posting anything with pornographic material.
• Nothing raciest.
• Nothing that will offend other people.
• Nothing illegal.
• No terrorist attacks
