Digital Footprint Lesson-6th grade
Lisa Bowen
March 30, 2014

Learning Objectives: Students will…
·       Define and explain digital footprint and how it can impact a person now and in the future. 
·       Identify personal information that is not appropriate to be shared and that is appropriate to be shared on public domains.   
·       Practice good digital citizenship.
Vocabulary for Teacher:
digital footprint: all of the information online about a person either posted by that person or others, intentionally or unintentionally
Lesson:
Introduce Digital Footprint to the students using the following short videos:

Brainstorm: Whole Class
1.    Talk about what types of social media each student has participated in and what questions they have answered online.
2.    Think of some personal information that students would not want to share online. 
3.    Give information that would hurt someone’s feelings. 
4.    Estimate how many people would see a picture that you put online.  Ex. 1 picture x 300 friends x 300 of their friends. 

Group Work: 2-3 students per group
Hand out 3 pre-cut circles to each group (one red, one green, and one yellow).  Students fill in their personal information and other items that are appropriate to share online in the “green” circle.  Have them put personal information and other items in the “red” circle that are not appropriate to share.  The “yellow” circle will be used to put items that are questionable or that you may need to look at closely before you share online. 

Assessment:
Have each group share items from each circle.  Collaborate to add items that had not been thought of and publish this by displaying on the “Digital Citizenship” bulletin board.
