Social Media and Digital Footprint
-
Love (of technology) by Matthew GFor better or for worse, social media is how people are connecting with one another. And each

purchases we are leaving a mark that cannot be erased.
Let’s prepare our students to leave digital footprints that are healthy, positive, and inspiring.

For junior high & high school:
Get the conversation going with your student:
-
How would you explain digital footprints to others?
-
How would you describe YOUR digital footprint?
-

-

-
What steps can you take to help others with their digital footprint?
-
What kinds of things are you posting online?
