Necessary Digital Citizenship discussion

I have always discussed with my students about various digital citizenship issues and their digital footprints. We use iPads in my classroom everyday and many students share an iPad throughout the day so having people "mess" with their work when they do not sign out of google drive has been a difficult learning experience for some. Unfortunately, over the past couple of weeks, they have gotten many very necessary lessons and lectures on digital etiquette. The students in our school have been using an app in which they can leave "anonymous" notes about the people around them which has caused a problem. They have found that this app is not so "anonymous" after neighboring schools found it necessary to contact the app company and get releases of names and phone numbers. This was definitely an eye opening experience for many students involved.
