"Self-confidence is very important. But without compassion and humility, it's just arrogance."

While some schools are turning to social media monitoring firms to keep an eye on students online, rarely do schools give students the opportunity to demonstrate the good work that they do publicly. Nor do schools give students the opportunity to decide what and when and how that public, online display should look like. It’s a drawback to our digital citizenship conversations — we’re concerned about what students do online but we fail to probe the “appropriateness” of the demands on data and content that (education) technology companies increasingly make on the students in turn.
The Web We Need to Give Students.

Although this article mainly cited post-secondary cases, I feel that the concepts within can be applied to all levels of instruction.  As the person responsible for digital ciitizenship curriculum on my K-5 campus, I can see so much benefit in the mid-to-upper level students having an online presence where they can 'practice what I preach' lol.  They are already active on social media but lack a safe space to explore and investigate what should/should not be public and how to control their content.  

Aside from the privacy and filtering issues faced by elementary schools, I feel that the idea of giving students an online space is underpinned by the same philosophy as Project Based Learning and other methodologies that give students CSLE + COVA:  the more agency that students have in their own learning, the more meaningful the learning is.  Students who experience ownership of their digital space will no doubt feel a greater sense of confidence and responsibility than those who are doing assignments that they have no agency in.
