Your online identity — who sees it, forever
Everything you post online can outlive you. Your digital footprint is part of your reputation.
"Imagine a future employer Googles your name. What would they find?" Students jot privately. Then discuss what controls that and what doesn't.
Part 1: Scenario cards — groups evaluate 10 online behaviours and rank them risk level 1-5 with justification. Part 2: Students design a "Digital Identity Guide" aimed at a Year 7 student starting secondary school — in PowerPoint Online, Canva or as a document. It must include: 3 do's, 3 don'ts, what a digital footprint is, and one piece of advice they wish they'd known.
Share one genuine piece of advice. Compile into a class "Digital Survival Guide" shared document.
AI tools also collect your data. Be aware of what you share in prompts — don't include personal details, medical info or anything private.
