Topic 2: Digital Footprint Awareness
A digital footprint is the trail of information we leave online through our activities, posts, and searches, which can be seen by others.
Core concept
Every time we post, comment, search, or browse online, we create a digital footprint that can be tracked or seen by others.
How it works
A digital footprint can be active (things we post intentionally) or passive (data collected without our direct action, like browsing history).
Why it matters
Our digital footprint can affect our reputation, so it's important to think before posting anything online.
Key detail
Being aware of our digital footprint helps us make responsible choices about what we share and how we behave online.
