Social Media & Cooking

1   A good digital citizen with regards to cooking should keep in mind that a single recipe from one person does not define all the recipes that come from that one person. For example, when a person posts a recipe that might have gotten bad reviews or the majority thought the product was bad, it does not always mean that that one bad recipe defines all of their other recipes. Another guideline that should be followed for cooking posts is that posts should be short and to the point, recipes should be easy to follow with clear directions and measurements regarding the ingredients involved. Along with having clear recipes, posts will have comments that talk about someone likes and dislikes about the recipe, another guideline talks about being able to accept dislikes. Finally, it is important to give substitutions for ingredients that might not be readily available to ones use.

3    A new source I would use would be a video outlining digital citizenship related to cooking and what happens when someone does not follow the guidelines.

4   Over the semester we have gained a lot of information on social media as well as the topic of digital citizenship. One of the first articles that we read talked about the 5 questions that you should ask yourself before posting information online. The 5 questions are; Am I seeking approval, Am I boasting, Am I discontent, Is this a moment to protect, and Is it kind. These 5 questions have helped shape my opinions on what digital citizenship is and in this case, digital citizenship dealing with social media and cooking.
