What you will learn
By the end, you can explain what a digital footprint is and choose what is safe to share online.

Read the explanation
Your digital footprint is the trail of everything you post, share, like and do online. It can be seen by people you know and by strangers. Even if you delete something, someone may have saved a copy or taken a screenshot. So before you share, pause and think: would I be happy for everyone to see this, forever?
