      Strategies, Preparations and Variations  
    Phase:
    Before/Engage
    Activity:

    Watch this video together. Stop and ask/answer questions when appropriate if students need to ask clarification questions.

    1. Discussion questions to consider:
      1. What is a digital footprint?
      2. If a fingerprint/footprint can identify who I am, what can identify me in a digital world?
      3. Why is it important not to give away information about where you are?
      4. Why is it important to behave kindly and respectfully in a digital environment?
      5. Can my digital footprint wash away or be erased?
      6. Do I have a responsibility with OTHER people's private and personal information?

    Title a chart called "My Information". Create a T-chart underneath with the titles: private vs. personal.

    Open a discussion to the class about private vs. personal information. Anything under private should NEVER be shared in a digital environment. Use predetermined protocols for class discussions, such as Socratic seminar, to structure the conversation. 

    Once the chart is complete reflect on HOW we can keep that information private when we are online playing games, working with others, etc.

    Have students reflect in a journal or in another way about how to keep themselves safe from others in the digital world. 

    Assessment Strategies:

    Teacher observation through discussions and conversations.

    Student's T-chart responses. Example answers here.

    Student reflection piece.


    Advanced Preparation:

    The teacher will need chart paper or an interactive whiteboard to create T-chart.
