- 23. Click the website images to visit each site.
- 24. Are you feeling lucky? Start thinking like a search engine – be the top of your own search results.
- 25. Use Google Alerts to keep updated on what others are saying about you (your work, project etc) on the web. It won‟t search everything, but can assist in managing your digital identity.
- 27. Existing laws apply online as they do offline – new Defamation Act 2013 (good news). BBC Defamation article Only share information when you have permission and obtain permission to publish someone else‟s work Avoid making comments and being supportive of the comments or actions of others, if they could get you in trouble. Everything shared on social media, regardless of privacy settings can be captured. Educate your social network – your “private” Facebook Timeline is only as secure as the devices you/your Facebook “friends” use. Put simply…think first, share second
- 28. Think about security 1. Use official mobile apps and trusted third-party apps – check reviews. 2. Location services – what else are you sharing with the world? 3. Are your mobile devices secure? What information are you giving away if your device is lost/stolen? Is your device set up for remote wiping? 4. A service or App might be secure, your internet access might not be – think about what you do/where you do it – public Wi-Fi can be dangerous. 5. Do you need to remain logged into all apps at all times? Think about your web history too. 6. Be wary of hackers, account cloning, phishing scams, rogue links. 7. Unused accounts at risk – monitor or close | consider strong password security.
