This week in Triple R we learnt about Digital Citizenship. We came up with something called a THINK acronym. An acronym is kind of like a poem. Here is an example:
Fantastic
Unbelievable
Never forget
But instead we used the word THINK, because you have to think before you post online.
Here is a short video on the acronym for think that my partner and I came up with.
I believe that every interaction online must be:
True, because lying is wrong and any rumour or secret that isn’t true may hurt someone.
Helpful, because there is no point of posting something that has no meaning. Someone could be looking for help on something, and you could be the person that helps them.
Inspiring, because inspiring people helps them create that confidence to do what they what.
Necessary, because there is no use in posting something that is not needed, you will get nothing from it.
Kind, because think about this. Would you like to be the reason that someone is hurt or sad? I know I wouldn’t.
My own acronym for online behaviour!
Secure
Aware
Friendly
Empathetic
