What’s my Paw Print?

Last week, we looked at Feet’s Digital Footprints and discussed whether we thought he was making good or bad decisions when spending time online.

Let’s review the activities:

What does this activity tell us about Feet?

  • Feet appears in a video of the school play that Feet’s parents post on a video-sharing site.
  • Feet posts comments about dancing videos on YouTube.
  • Feet uses their parent’s online shopping account to create a long wish list of things Feet would like as presents for their birthday.
  • Feet appears on the top-scorers list of an online video game that they play regularly.
  • Feet appears in a picture their friend posted on social media.
