Social Media Policy Teaches Digital Citizenship

This motion graphic speaks volumes about using good digital citizenship in social media. Educators did not design it. Instead, Curated Content created it for the Australian based company Origin. Instead of opting for the traditional “white paper” policy guidelines for social media, Origin chose to inform its employees about its usage with an entertaining approach involving a motion graphic.

For educators, this is a windfall. It hits on the advice we give our learners on digital citizenship. If you’re like us, starting to use social media in the classroom, this is a fun and interactive way to illustrate the do’s and don’t’s before tweeting or liking something.

In addition, schools considering the adoption of a social media policy would be wise to look at this video as a guide. The visuals engage the viewer to be an active part of the learning process. It also gives faculty who don’t use social media a clear picture of how it's done. They need to know. Their students no doubt use it on a regular basis. Its illustrative examples make this motion graphic much more than a company video.
