The Digital Tattoo in the Classroom
The Digital Tattoo website and tutorials have been used in a variety of courses at the University of British Columbia and at the University of Toronto. Examples include annual workshops in collaboration with the Teacher Education Office for all new Teacher Candidates. The Digital Tattoo tutorials are also used in courses across North America and globally to help students consider digital identity and privacy on the web. Additionally faculty at both UBC and the U of T have developed student assignments that involve students posting blog posts about digital identity and privacy to the site.
