Discussion questions:

What is a digital footprint?

• Is it a negative or a positive thing to have? Why?

• Does everyone have a digital footprint?

How will you express yourself?

How will you protect your privacy?

How will you respect other people’s privacy?

Activity: Google yourself (or try a family member if nothing comes up). Can you find anything? How do you feel about that public digital footprint?

*Note: Not everything in one's digital footprint is publicly/easily available, but there are ways to access things even behind privacy settings.
