THE POWER OF DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS WEBINAR

Did you know what is posted online never truly goes away? Social media posts, likes and comments have the potential to impact a student’s college acceptance and scholarships, athletic recruitment, future employment and more!

On January 18, the district held online webinar for students grades 5-12, parents, grandparents, guardians, staff and student mentors. The webinar featured a panel discussing the impact online presence can have on our students and gave resources to help parents and learners make good decisions.

Online and mobile technology engagement is now a normal part of life. As a community, it is critical that we remember that this powerful technology, that fills both our schools and homes, comes with some potential dangers.

Having unlimited access to information and people may result in increased knowledge and great experiences. In addition, it can also lead to inappropriate content and exposure to risks. We want our learners to make good decisions in the digital world to protect their safety, personal information and reputation.

What We Do


Mansfield ISD is required to ensure student safety and security when using electronic communications, per Board Policy. The district utilizes various management software programs to manage and monitor student iPads, Chromebooks and laptops.

When students use the district’s network, email systems, cloud storage and accounts, the school district uses content filters and management software to monitor, filter and alert MISD staff of any inappropriate use.
