I plan to teach my future students about their own digital footprint. One source that I will use will be http://www.21things4students.net/21/3-digital-footprint/. I found that this resource was made in a way to keep students' attention and help them enjoy the important lesson. It helped me to understand this concept better.
What is a digital footprint? It is basically a permanent record of anything you put online. It is like a tattoo. Anything you put online will forever be there, even if you take it down or delete it. I was a little surprised when I searched my name on pipl.com. Old phone numbers and addresses were listed; as well as my various social media accounts. We need to teach students how to stay safe online. We need to help protect their privacy.
