Students follow the digital information trails of two fictional animals. They make observations about the content of each trail, and connect these observations by thinking about what kinds of information they want to leave behind.
Digital Footprint (Middle /Senior)
The student has...
shared too much information or inappropriate information online.
Students watch a video to learn how information online can easily get out of one’s control. They then examine the profiles of two fictional host applicants and come to the conclusion that although online information provides an incomplete picture of a person, it can still affect how others view that person.

The student...
does not understand that everything they post on the internet can possibly be located at a later stage.
