Key Idea
Online interaction leaves behind a "footprint", revealing information about our identity, opinions, preferences, beliefs and behaviour. A footprint on a beach will be washed away by the tide, a footprint on the "cloud" is there forever, in one form or another. This activity looks at the possible consequences of unwise online behaviour and it's potential impact in the short term and long term.
Who is it for?
This activity is suitable for a class activity of 24 students approx.
Age range: 14-16 years
Age range: 14-16 years

- To consider where the boundaries between private and public information may lie

How long does it take?
1 x 90 minutes
Step 1 - Introduction
- Has anyone ever taken your photograph without asking you first? Did you mind?
- Have you ever posted a photograph of a friend, online, without asking them first? Were they upset by it? How do you know?
- Should you be careful what you share with your family? friend? neighbour? team mate?
- What do you think?
We are going to be looking at the stories of some young people who learnt about over-sharing of personal data, the hard way!
Step 2 - What Next?
Distribute scenarios worksheets, randomly, so everyone gets an example to analyse.
Write notes to respond to questions
Regroup students, (6 scenarios x 4 students) so everyone with the same scenario meets together and prepares feedback on the three key questions to share with class. Teacher to scribe key information, for comparison.

Step 3 - Reflect and Evaluate
- What about your digital footprint? What data do you share and with whom? Distribute my data worksheet and complete individually.
- Is it easy to decide what data to keep private and what to share publicly? Record class results and share opinions.
- Why is our data valuable? How can our data be misused?
- What are the lessons we need to learn?
- Is it only young people who are vulnerable?
Step 4 - Let's Share
- What top tips for data protection can we share with the school family?
- What is our message?
- Can we design a campaign to warn others of the dangers?
- How can we get our message across effectively?
- Are there other groups outside in the community at risk?
- Is there a way to reach them?
