Q3 Digital Self Portrait: Introduction

10. Digital Images

Introduction

Selfies are a popular way to express yourself. Many people snap a selfie and send it out through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat and via SMS in their texts. Selfies can capture your emotions of the moment, express support or disapproval, or be intended to give your friends a chuckle. What story do you want to tell when posting a selfie? In this Quest, you will use a selfie or photo of yourself to create a digital self-portrait that showcases your creativity and digital image skills. 

learning objectives

I can:

  • Explain why selfies should be examined before being posted online.
  • Create a digital self-portrait.

Internet Safety and Selfies  

Keep in mind that selfies are just like any other internet content. Once posted, it can be forwarded and remains on the internet (practically) forever. When you post a selfie, you must think about safety and reputation before clicking the send button. For more information, review the Cyber Smart Quest 3: Online Danger!

  • Avoid posting selfies with location identification on social media. (To do this, you may need to disable GPS options on your apps.)
  • Before posting this image to social media sites, consider whether you want it to appear in a search or if you would be comfortable with your friends forwarding it.
