Hello, digital citizens! My name is Feet. I’m always careful about the footprints I leave behind. Today, I’m having fun at the park with my friends. I have to watch where I step because I don’t want to trip or accidentally step on a cute little bug!
Every time we walk, we leave footprints behind us. Did you know the same thing happens when we’re on the internet? Even though we can’t see them, every picture we post or message we send leaves a digital trail. This trail shows where we’ve been and what we’ve shared online.
I love sharing things online, but I’m always careful about what I post. Some things, like your home address or phone number, should only be shared with trusted adults. It’s important to think before you share and be mindful of your digital footprint.
Hey, Feet! I found some strange tracks over here. Come look! Oops, I have to go check it out. But before I leave, I have a question for you, digital citizens: what footprints are YOU leaving online?
Did you know that animals leave different kinds of footprints? You can learn a lot about an animal by looking at its tracks, like how big it is or how fast it moves. Just like animals, we leave our own special footprints online. Let’s make sure they’re good ones!
Footprint Hunt: Go on a footprint hunt in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for different footprints left by animals, people, or even bicycles. Take a piece of paper and a crayon with you. When you find a footprint, place the paper over it and rub the crayon on the paper to make a footprint rubbing. Discuss with your friends or family what kind of footprint it might be and what it tells you about who or what made it. How is this similar to the digital footprints we leave online?
Digital Footprint Diary: For one day, keep a diary of all the things you do online. Write down the websites you visit, the games you play, and any messages or pictures you share. At the end of the day, look at your diary and think about the digital footprints you left. Discuss with a parent or teacher how you can make sure your digital footprints are safe and positive. What information should you keep private?
Footprint Art: Create a piece of art that represents your digital footprint. Use paper, markers, and any other art supplies you like. Draw or collage images that show the things you like to do online, such as playing games, learning new things, or talking to friends. Share your artwork with the class and explain how it represents your digital footprint. How can you make sure your digital footprint is something you are proud of?
On this episode, it’s Feet! Hello, digital citizens. My name is Feet. I’m known for being careful about the footprints that I leave. Today, I’m at the park exploring with my friends. Thinking carefully about where I step is important because I don’t want to fall or squish a cute little bug!
Every time we take a step, we leave a trail of footprints. And the same thing happens on the internet. We can’t actually see footprints online, but every picture we post or text we send leaves a digital trail of where we go and what we share. I love to post online, but I’m always careful about what I share. For example, some things should only be shared with trusted adults, like your home address or phone number.
So remember to think before you share and be mindful of your digital footprint.
Hey, Feet! I found some strange tracks over here. Come look! Gotta go. But my question for you, digital citizens out there, is: what footprints are YOU leaving online?
