Teaching students about digital citizenship (their digital footprint) is very important because it can have a long lasting affect on their future regarding future employers, future academic opportunities, as well as personal pride. It is scary to put something on the internet and have it stay there forever. I remember learning about internet safety in my own schools. It is important not to scare the students, while also efficiently getting your point across in an educational way. Being informed about things, especially with a topic like this will save children and students in the future.

This is important not only for students to keep personal information to themselves that the internet does not need to know, but also for students who may be facing cyber bullying. When cyber bullies hurt people online, it can affect their own future as well.

An engaging activity that could be done with teaching digital citizenship that I believe could be quite efficient would be providing students with miniature versions of themselves that they can create. With this mini version of themselves they will make a presentation all about them. The things they want people to know about them at least. This is a fun activity that can introduce the important of keeping information to yourself. Possibly asking the students why they decided to include certain things about themselves and why they decided to leave some things out. For example, you could say "do we think that everyone needs to know our home address? Our parents phone numbers?" This would be more helpful to the littles but still effective and can be changed and matured for older students as well.
