Digital Footprint Safety

Read the outback station scenario, then complete each task. For written answers, explain your thinking and remember: if something online worries you, talk to a trusted adult.

Read the station group-chat scenario

Arjun, Omar and Harper are helping prepare a station open day. Harper shares a photo of the team in a group chat. The photo shows the station gate, a sign with the station’s location and a delivery label with a phone number. Omar asks before forwarding it to another group, but Arjun posts it publicly with the caption, “We’re away from home all weekend!” Later, Arjun regrets posting it and deletes it. A classmate has already saved a copy. The group discusses removing the post, checking privacy settings and asking a trusted adult for help.

1.Choose the best meaning of a digital footprint.
  • Only the photos a person posts
  • Information and activity connected to a person’s use of digital services
  • A password used to sign in
  • A list of websites printed on paper
2.Name two details in Harper’s photo that could reveal private or identifying information.
3.True or false: Deleting a post guarantees that nobody can still see or share it.

4.Complete the idea: Before sharing a photo of someone else, I should…
5.Match each online action to the kind of digital footprint it can create.
  • Posting a public photo
  • Searching for a topic
  • Sending a kind, helpful comment
  • A contribution that can reflect positively on you
  • A visible contribution others may save or share
  • Activity that a service may record
6.Arjun posted that the station would be empty all weekend. Give one possible safety risk and one sensible next step.
7.Omar asked before forwarding Harper’s photo. Why is asking first a safer and more respectful choice?
8.Select two actions that could help the group respond to the shared photo.
  • Ask the person who saved it to delete it, if safe to do so
  • Share it again so more people know about the problem
  • Tell a trusted adult and use the app’s reporting or privacy tools
  • Post the phone number publicly to warn everyone
9.Write a safer caption Arjun could use for a public post about the station open day, without revealing private details.
10.Write a three-step “pause before you post” check that could help Year 6 students protect their digital footprint.
