Digital Footprint Mapping

Harper, Arjun-Mae and Sienna are travelling by train. They are chatting about the trail people can leave when they use websites, apps and online games. Read each task and think about what is safe, kind and respectful to share.

What makes a digital footprint?

A digital footprint is information created or shared when someone uses the internet. Some parts are posted deliberately; other information, such as a search or a game activity, may be recorded by a service.

1.On the train, Harper sends a message in a group chat. Which statement best explains how this could add to Harper’s digital footprint?

It may be saved, copied or seen by people in the chat.
It disappears for everyone as soon as Harper closes the app.
It only counts if Harper posts a public photograph.

2.Tick every activity that could leave a digital footprint: posting a photo, searching for a train timetable online, playing an online game, or reading a paper book offline.

3.True or false: If a post is deleted, it is guaranteed that nobody saved or shared a copy.

TrueFalse

Map the train-chat trail

Follow the choices in the map. A small choice can lead to a wider audience than expected.

What could Sienna have checked before posting?

4.Arjun-Mae wants to share a funny photo of a friend on the train. Name two safe steps she should take before posting it.

5.Match each online action with the likely footprint it creates: (A) a kind, helpful reply; (B) a rude comment about another passenger; (C) sharing a friend’s photo without asking.

Pause, check and choose

A safe digital footprint comes from thoughtful choices. You can ask a trusted adult for help if something online makes you uncomfortable.

6.Sienna receives a message asking for her home address so someone can send her a prize. What is the safest next step?

Send the address quickly so she does not miss out.
Do not share it; show the message to a trusted adult.
Post the address in the train group chat instead.

7.Complete this check before posting: Is it kind? Is it safe? Do I have permission? Add one more useful question to ask yourself.

8.Write two practical rules Harper and her friends can use to make their digital footprints safer and more positive.
