Week 1

Digital Footprints

LC: To understand how to create a positive digital footprint.

What is a digital footprint?

It is important to know that if you post something on the internet, it will stay there. On the Internet a digital footprint is the word used to describe the trail, traces or “footprints” that people leave online.

Your digital footprint

Every time you go online you leave a trail. If you take a look in the history section of your website browser and you can see the websites you have visited in the past.

We are living in an increasingly digital world. You might add data about yourself on a great number different websites or applications.

Your own digital footprint is the data that is left behind by you on all the digital services that you use.

Top tips for a positive digital footprint.

1. Do not share your password with anyone, and change it often – like a toothbrush.

2. Always remember to logoff when you have finished with an online service.

3. Use your own digital footprints to remember your favourite websites like the history button and your bookmarks.

4. Remember that most of the websites you visit will make a note of your visit and may also track the websites you visit before and after their website!

5. Let an adult know if anything you read or see makes you feel worried or upset.

6. Only use your first name. Do not give out any personal information.

7. Make sure you have permission to view and share information online. Make sure the information you share is positive.

Use the activity on seesaw to create a poster to help others to create a positive digital footprint.
