IKeepSafe - Pointers For Parents - NAPS-TV

DID YOU KNOW FORTY-THREE PERCENT OF JOB RECRUITERS ELIMINATE CANDIDATES DUE TO NEGATIVE CONTENT FOUND ONLINE?

WITH EVERY CLICK, YOUR CHILDREN ADD TO THEIR DIGITAL REPUTATION. A POSITIVE ONLINE REPUTATION OPENS DOORS FOR EDUCATION, SCHOLARSHIPS AND EMPLOYMENT. A NEGATIVE ONE WILL HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT. THE DIRECTOR FOR EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY POLICY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, DAVINA PRUITT-MENTLE, SAYS, I THINK, AS A PARENT, IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT DIGITAL REPUTATION.

FOR YOUR KIDS, TO UNDERSTAND THEIR FUTURE; IN TERMS OF ADMISSION TO COLLEGE, FOR INTERNSHIPS, FOR EXTERNSHIPS, FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, WHETHER IT BE ACADEMIC OR SPORTS-ACADEMIC. BUT I THINK, MORE IMPORTANTLY, ITʼS UNDERSTANDING THE CONSEQUENCES DOWN THE ROAD. PARENTS NEED TO TALK TO CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR DIGITAL REPUTATIONS.

TO HELP FAMILIES UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF ONLINE REPUTATION, IKEEPSAFE.ORG HAS A SHORT VIDEO PORTRAYING THE TRUE STORY OF TWO TEENS FACING THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR DIGITAL REPUTATIONS. SEE THE FILM AT IKEEPSAFE.ORG/REPUTATION.
