Pre-activity

● Have the class sit in a circle● Play a name game or a memory game

○ Have one student say a fact about themselves or a topic that the class is currently learning while passing around a ball of yarn. Ex- My name is Tim and the capital of BC is Victoria. Then the student tosses the yarn and the next student speaks while passing on the twine. This creates a web of yarn which will eventually help the students work backwards through the facts.

● Talk to the students about the activity. Did the yarn work as a memory tool for remembering what your classmates said?

Classroom Discussion

● Discuss the activity. Are there other ways you can be tracked? Mention footprints in the snow.

● Just as your actions can be tracked in the snow, they can also be tracked online. How do your students use the internet? Ask about what their favorite sites are. About how many hours do they spend online each week?

● How do your students feel about being tracked online? Ask them how they might be tracked and teach about the browser history function. Let them know that information isn’t private. Other people who have never touched their home computer can gain access to that information.

● Watch Common Sense Media's clip on “Following the Digital Trail”. http://www.commonsensemedia.org/video/modal/3978171

Activity

▪ Discuss the activity. Are there other ways you can be tracked? Remind the students about the footprints in the snow.

▪ Have the students create a craft project of “My Digital Footprint”

▪ Trace their foot or use a cut out of a foot. Then have the student draw their favorite website and what information that might reveal about them.

Final thoughts

▪ Ask your students if they will change their behavior online. ▪ Remember- This lesson is not to scare children away from

the internet but to keep them safe and to teach them that they are not anonymous on the internet.
