Middle school students in the West Chester Area School District learned about the advantages of developing a digital consciousness during the award-winning presentation “Public and Permanent,” according to a report from the Daily Local News.

The presentation was delivered by Richard Guerry, executive director of the nonprofit Institute for Responsible Online and Cell Phone Communication, to more than 2,300 students from Fugett, Peirce, and Stetson middle schools.

Guerry emphasized how useful and powerful digital tools can be when a person develops and lives by a digital consciousness. He also noted how easy it is to create self-inflicted events that can be life-altering when these tools are abused.

Guerry put the spotlight on “public and permanent,” which he considers to be the golden rule of the 21st century.

“Ask yourself, ‘Am I okay with what I’m doing and saying in a world built for communication going public and permanent?'” he said to the students.
