                     Today your life is connected to the digital world in many ways. Every time you use a device, create
                     an account or share something online, you build a part of your digital identity. The actions you take
                     online also leave a digital footprint that can stay for years. This chapter will help you understand

                     what these terms mean, how they are created and why they matter. By learning about them, you
                     can use technology more safely and make thoughtful choices in your online life.

                     DIGITAL IDENTITY

                     When you join a school, you are given an identity card with your name, photo and class. This
                     card helps others recognise and identify you in the real world. In the same way, you also have an
                     identity in the digital world.

                                      “In the digital world,  every click tells a story about you. Creating an account,
                                       liking a post or even searching on Google adds a tiny piece to who you are
                                               online. These pieces join together to form  digital identity.”
