Digital Footprints 

This month’s digital citizenship topic is about learning to create and maintain one’s Digital Footprint & Identity. Our digital footprint, or online presence, has long-lasting implications, and it is important for children to realize that digital footprints are often public and potentially accessible by anyone. You can help your child(ren) learn how they can contribute to a positive digital reputation, both for themselves and for others. As soon as you share the first photo of your child, you're establishing their digital footprint. As kids get older and start creating their own content or engaging with others online, it's important for them to understand the tracks they're leaving behind and what those tracks might reveal. Parents can help guide kids toward creating the kind of footprint they can be proud of. 

Grades K-5 Family Tips 

• Be a role model. - Before you post a photo of your child on social media, ask if it's OK to share. Not only will you give them control over their own digital footprint, you'll also be showing them what you expect them to do with others' photos.  

• Use Privacy Settings - Together, go through all the settings on new apps to make sure you both know what information your kids are sharing. Especially in the beginning, it's better to share very little.
