What is your digital footprint? Ask students for a definition: anything that you post in the internet, photos, audio, video, texts, blog posts, and messages

Privacy Matters! Anything that happens online, stays forever. Even if you delete it, it’s never really gone. Always assume that everything you post is going to be viewed by the whole world. Be careful about what persona you create online. Respect other people’s privacy and protect your own. Talk with students about screenshots, and the power of never really being able to delete anything.

How we know what we know, or what we think we know. Profile Guessing Game What can we learn about a person from their personal information? What can we guess from personal information, even if we aren’t sure? Do we know how this information was collected in the first place? How we know what we know, or what we think we know. Share with Care Activity 2 (pg. 11) Hand out sample profiles for groups of 2 or 3 students. Tell students they are trying to decide what they can figure out about each person from their profile.

Think about Jenny, Tyler, and Leah Do you think he or she wants people to know all this personal info? How might this information be used by other people? How do others see us?

What conclusions could each of these people reach about your profile?
