In this century, most of the people connected with technology and most of the people are not aware of their identity is more public than private. When we use technology at that time we thought that, we are using this privately and no one know about that but when we use it, we leave our identity. For example, when we walk on sand and we left our image of foot and this sign is our footprint. Here I am talking about digital footprint. Digital footprint is all the things we leave behind as we use the internet. When we do comment on Facebook, twitter, any social media, Skype calls, email, any app use that all are part of our online history and can see by other people or they can track in a database. Even when we do online shopping, and when we visit some sites then other people can track our data. Nowadays we are using lot technology and everyone are connected with technology like WhatsApp, Snap chat, Skype, Facebook, twitter, google, YouTube and a lot.

Any online information or I would say our digital footprint which can be searched, seen, and shared by invisible audience and so it is important to understand about digital footprints. Personal information can be stolen by hackers sometimes. If someone hack your account or make some fake profile and then post some bad pictures or conversation, blogs so that gives wrong impression to others and lot youngsters do suicide for that. So, that is important to provide write information about digital footprint and so that students can get knowledge about social media and their effects. In school, students are using online tools, applications and even social media and so we need to provide information about how to use and what to use online and how to secure password and profile. Even students are like to use Facebook, twitter, Snap chat and sometimes they share their personal information, photos, videos and so sometimes they face problems. So, before we post any thing we need to think that is that true, is that illegal, is that secure, is that harmful to other.

Every day students are like to post something online and so teacher can discuss, teach and even school can help students to build a positive digital identity. Because students’ blogs, online tools, wikis, google docs, Symbaloo are useful in study and that can create more interest in study. We can help students to create an online portfolio. We can give some projects to make blogs, short video, infographics, mind map. Before provide information about how to protect your digital footprint, teacher should get all information and school can provide information or they can search online. We should help our students and aware them for their security of technology.
