Chapter Description
As our students utilize more networked technologies in their writing, it has become critical that both students and teachers understand the role privacy plays in their digital activity. This chapter aims to help students understand why privacy is an important concept to consider when writing online and to provide them with the knowledge and strategies necessary to preserve their privacy in digital environments. First, it will offer an explanation of information privacy based on three central concepts: data, agency, and flow. After explaining each of these concepts in detail, it will then turn to a discussion of how students can leverage this knowledge to exert more control over the information they share when composing online.
