The second step is teaching students that they have a digital footprint and they are responsible for protecting their reputation on the internet. Common Sense provides this lesson plan on digital footprints.
What strategies can we take to help our students consistently keep digital safety in the forefront of their minds?

As adults, we are responsible to be educated on internet safety, to educate the younger generation, and protect them from harm.
