Grade 6 · SEL · Lesson 36

Digital reputation and safety

Every time you post, comment, like, share or send, you leave a mark online. Those marks add up into something called your digital footprint — the trail of data that tells the internet who you are. Unlike footprints in sand, digital footprints do not wash away. A photo posted in Grade 6 can still be searched up when you apply for high school, a sports team, a job, or a scholarship years later. Your digital reputation is just the story those footprints tell about you.

What this lesson teaches

1Explain how every post, comment and photo builds a permanent digital footprint
2Run a five-question safety check before you post or share anything
3Protect personal information with strong passwords and tight privacy settings
4Choose responses that keep your online reputation kind, honest and safe
