Steps: ( There are 3 steps- scroll down to see everything)

1. Watch the video provided then write a paragraph (5-6 sentences minimum) answering
the questions below:

Q1 When do you think your Digital Imprint began? (You may want to ask your parents
about when they began posting information about you online.)

- I think my Digital Imprint began when I was born, the hospital had information about how
much I weight, where I live, my postal code and more. My parents posted photos of me on
Facebook when It was my first day of kindergarten school. The kindergarten asked
information about me and had video surveillance cameras and showed my parents car
and their license plate when they dropped me off. Their was more information about me
when I went to Elementary school, Middle school, and High school. When I was younger I
made a YouTube channel and posted videos about me, so when I search my name up on
google images there are a ton of photos of me. I have an Instagram account and on my
Bio I say the name of my high School, and my age.

Q2 Think about the specific "footprints" or

information you leave behind on the sites on your
map (such as what you viewed, typed, or accessed).
If this was the only information someone had about
you, what would they think about you? What
assumptions would they make about your habits &
behaviors?

-I search a lot of things for homework such as

definitions for science, Google classroom, and good translate. This can be shown on my history
on my laptop. I once used amazon and ordered a laptop case and now that website had my
address, postal code and dads credit card number. If anyone had this information about me it
would be very easy to track me down. They would see that im always on social media, posting
pictures , emailing and texting. I would post pictures of me and my friends and they can tell who
I hang out with and what they are like.

Q3 Make a list of sites you visit a lot. These might include social networking sites (Twitter,
Facebook), gaming sites, shopping sites, learning sites.

Step 2 Add a Visual to your paragraph(s)

Organize your list into categories and write them onto a visual organizer that describes your
digital footprint, for example, all social networking sites together, all gaming sites together,
etc. You can use http://www.wordle.net/ or Prezi or Pic Monkey to creat one or more images
for your personal digital footprint.

Step 3 What devices do you use to access the web?

Think about all of the different digital devices you use daily. Your next task is to log your
own daily use of all digital media over 3 or 4 days which includes at least one weekend
day. Some examples include: phone usage, gaming (DS, Playstation, X-Box) playing,
surfing the internet, texting and so on.
 Log your time spent into this useage doc or Design your own Google form or table to
track and summarize this information.
