However, it also notes concerns around disrespect, embarrassment, loneliness, and privacy. The document encourages students to think about how they treat others online versus offline, only post content they'd share with trusted adults, maintain privacy settings, and work to create a positive digital footprint through respect, collaboration and modeling good behavior.
