Digital Footprint Workshop
Understanding Your Digital Footprint
Every photo, comment, search and online interaction contributes to a child’s digital footprint. This workshop helps primary school pupils understand what a digital footprint is, how it is created and why making positive choices online is important.
Through engaging activities and real-life examples, children discover that what they share online can leave a lasting impression. They will learn how to protect their personal information, think carefully before posting and build positive digital habits that will benefit them now and in the future.
