| Digital footprints are the records and traces we leave behind us as we use the internet. When we visit websites to get information, do social sharing, send instant messages and email, we leave “footprints” of our behavior behind. This digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences. | |
| Students learn to protect their own privacy and respect others’ privacy. Our digital world is permanent, and with each post, students are building a digital footprint. By encouraging students to self-reflect before they self-reveal, they will consider how what they share online can impact themselves and others. | |
| In a world where anything created online can be copied, pasted, and sent to thousands of people in a heartbeat, privacy starts to mean something different than simply guarding personal information. On the positive side, this culture of sharing holds tremendous promise for young people to express themselves, collaborate, and find support for their ideas and interests. | |
| However, the ease of online disclosure also poses risks for young people. A decision made in the spur of a moment — a funny picture, a certain post — can resurface years later. Something originally sent to a friend can be sent to a friend’s friend, and so on. That’s how secrets become headlines and how false information spreads fast and furiously – to classmates, teachers, college admissions officers, future employers, or the public at large. | |
| One side effect of digital footprints is the loss of privacy and anonymity online. As we go from site to site we leave behind evidence of what we’ve done, where we’ve been, what we’ve been thinking, who our friends and families are and more. | |
| These footprints continue to build over time. (In other words, they never go away.) Our digital traces can then be linked into a larger and more complete profile and what we consider as private information is now ‘out there’ in some way, shape, or form. The links between digital footprints, IP addresses, phone numbers, E-commerce, and on-line activities make it possible to attach those actions to a real identity. | |
| Digital footprints in the form of “cookies”, a small piece of code that identifies a user and tracks their behavior online, offers convenience by keeping you signed into a site so that you do not have to re-type your personal details. Without them, online shopping would be impossible. | |
| However, because cookies can track your behavior both within a site and across different sites, they can be used to gather a broad range of information about you including, what sites you visits and which articles or items your view. An excellent treatise on cookies can be found at aboutcookies.org. | |
| When we consciously share information on social media such as “Facebook” or “Twitter” or “Instagram,” we know we lose some degree of privacy. However, we also contribute to our footprint when we enable location services. These services allow location-dependent apps and websites to use information from cellular, Wi-Fi, and GPS networks to determine your approximate location. Location services can be turned on or off by the user. | |
| Managing your digital footprint is possible but takes some time, effort, and basic knowledge of the issues. Here is a link to "The Internet Society- Manage Your Identity" tutorials: http://www.internetsociety.org/manage-your-identity. | |
| Celebrate a “culture of sharing” through digital media while considering some possible harmful effects of over-sharing and Internet privacy. learn to respect the privacy of others online when tagging, posting, or copying other’ personal information. | |
| By guiding your students to self-reflect before they self-reveal, you can help them learn to consciously manage their own privacy online, as well as respect the privacy of others. If students aren’t careful about what, how, and to whom they disclose information online, it may be used or interpreted in ways they never intended. | |
| Help them understand the public and permanent nature of the Internet so they can begin to build a positive digital presence | |
