LESSON ONE

Before we get started...

- Have you ever wondered what information exists online about you?

- Are you aware of the impact this may have on your reputation? Your future?

In lesson one, we'll be exploring digital footprints!

Digital Footprints 101

Directions: Watch the brief video below and answer the questions throughout.

Think critically about your responses and be prepared to discuss them with your classmates.

Now, let's quickly review!

A digital footprint is a collection of information that exists online about an individual based on their activity online and, at times, offline.

An individual's digital footprint could consist of...

social media activity — i.e., posting a picture on Instagram, liking or commenting on another person's post
notable accomplishments — i.e., an article that's written about an individual's community service project or performance during their school's athletics competition
and much, much more!

Next, it's time to share your thoughts with your classmates!

Answer each question in the Padlet below and comment on at least three of your peers' posts.
