{{DISPLAYTITLE:DGB 3: Digital Identity and Reputation}}
← [[DGB 3. Klasse/en|Digital Literacy – Year 3]]

Profiles, posts, comments, images, usernames and public interactions contribute to how a person is perceived online. A digital identity is not the whole person, but digital traces can have long-term effects. Privacy, context and deliberate self-presentation therefore matter.

* distinguish digital identity from digital reputation;
* name elements of digital self-presentation;
* recognise different roles in school, leisure and public contexts;
* explain how digital traces are created and may be forwarded;
* use privacy settings as one protective measure;
* recognise risks from careless posts, tags and forwarding;
* plan a positive and authentic digital presence;
* name suitable responses and sources of help for problematic content;
* reflect on reputation without revealing unnecessary private information.

== Learning content ==

=== What digital identity means ===

Digital identity includes usernames, profile images, descriptions, posts, comments, reactions, shared content, communication style and platform choices. Other people's tags or mentions can also become part of the visible picture.

=== Different roles and contexts ===

People may present different aspects of themselves in a learning platform, gaming community, private chat or public profile. Context matters, and content intended for one group can sometimes reach another.

=== Digital reputation ===

Reputation is the impression others form over time. It can be influenced by quality of communication, consistency, public contributions and third-party content, not just by a single profile.

=== Digital traces ===

Posts, comments, metadata, screenshots, archives and forwarded content can create traces that remain after the original action. Deleting a post does not guarantee that every copy disappears.

=== Privacy settings and visibility ===

Audience controls, profile visibility, tagging rules and account security reduce unnecessary exposure. Settings should be reviewed because services and personal circumstances change.

=== Problematic content and responses ===

If harmful or unwanted content appears, useful steps can include documenting the issue, using platform reporting tools, requesting removal, changing access settings and seeking support from trusted adults or relevant services.

=== Positive and authentic presence ===

A positive digital presence does not mean creating a perfect image. It means choosing what to make public, communicating respectfully and sharing work or interests in ways that fit the intended context.

=== Protecting reputation ===

Think before posting, use appropriate audiences, protect accounts, avoid unnecessary personal details and review old public material. Prevention and response strategies work together.

=== Observing and developing one's digital presence ===

Occasional self-checks can help identify outdated public information or inconsistent privacy choices. Such checks should be carried out without turning into constant surveillance of oneself.
