Digital Safety Moment: What does your digital footprint say about you?
If someone “googled” your name, what would come up? Everything we do online creates digital footprints that migrate, persist, and can resurface years later. And if we aren’t careful, our reputations can be harmed.
HISD’s Office of Communications and the district’s Educational Technology Department have created a Digital Safety Moment that addresses the importance of digital footprints.
The short video vignette can be shared with staff members and with students along with information and resources located on the district’s cyber safety website.

A new Digital Safety Moment will be released every other week on myHISD and in employee eNews. The first few will be hosted by Educational Technology Specialist Diana Bidulescu, but teachers and campus technology specialists are encouraged to submit their own ideas and suggestions to Bidulescu by emailing her at rbidules@houstonisd.org.
The videos are designed to help HISD educators understand the importance of cyber safety as well as good digital privacy practices and to pass that knowledge on to their students and their families. The videos are being produced with the support of The Learning Counsel.
