Identities (Overview)


In MyCivicsLife, you play the role of a digital citizen in an online civics community. Each year, you will create an identity profile that you will use to interact with other digital citizens. When you post or make a comment, others will see your identity profile name and not your real name. You can customize this identity profile at any time.



Only teachers in your Community will be able to see your (or other students’) real name.
