Our personal information is shared more frequently and in a wider range than we know. There are many points in our online activity where we are vulnerable, such as sharing information online (social media, shared passwords, etc.), combining accounts, lack of firewalls, and we are even vulnerable when using external networks. It's important that students understand how much information can be shared. 

This JIT Lesson focuses on ensuring students are aware of their digital footprint, recognize how to what can compromise their digital safety, and learn how to take precuations again cyber attack. The conversation also brings in a greater understanding of our digital footprint apart from potential possibilities for hacking. Our information is not only vulnerable through social media, but we everything we post online is permanent. This lesson brings in conversations about the importance of being aware of what you are posting, from photos to statements to documents. The goal of the lesson is to make sure the student is fully aware of their responsibility towards protecting themselves digitally as a digital citizen, and the goal of the graphic is to provide a simple visual relationship between a potential concern and the action the student can take to rectify the situation.
