LESSON 2: I AM A DIGITAL CITIZEN

THE LESSON MISSION

I can identify information that is safe to have in my digital footprint.

DIGITAL IDENTITY

Your digital identity is everything about you that is online. Every time you go online you leave a trail of where you have been while online. This is called your digital footprint. This video explains how you get an online identity and how it impacts you. Pay close attention to the types of information that are and aren't OK to share online.

Reflecting on the Video

In the video, Feet was talking about a digital footprint. What is a digital footprint?

What information does Feet suggest NOT sharing online?

What information does Feet think is OK to share online?

Following the Tracks

Now, you are going to do an activity called Digital Tracks. John Jones and Jane Smith have left a Trail of Digital Footprints. Follow their trail to see who's digital footprints include private information.

DIGITAL TRACKING DETECTIVES

With your shoulder partner, use the digital trails above for John Jones and Jane Smith to answer the questions in your online assignment below.

Today you learned about how the information we leave online is our digital footprint and our digital footprints are permanent. You now know what information is safe to share online and what information you should not share.
