    “Respect, decency, and ethics online are just as important
                                                 as behaviour in real life. Therefore, it is important to create
                                                      a positive digital footprint by following the 5 Ps.”

                         Deleted online content can still remain accessible because screenshots, backups, and stored copies
                         keeps it alive, which is why it is often said that the Internet never forgets.

                                                                                                  21 st

                                                                                                  Skills

                      Ask students to silently think about everything they did online today. This can include:

                          Searching for something on Google                 Watching or liking a YouTube video
                          Sending a message on WhatsApp                     Browsing a website

                          Playing an online game                            Logging into social media
                         Downloading  a file                                Posting a photo or comment
                      Encourage them to recall even the small activities—they all count.
                      In their notebook, they should write any three things they did online today.

                      Example:
                          Searched for science project ideas on Google

                          Liked a music video on YouTube
                          Sent a homework question to a friend on WhatsApp
                      Ask them to label each activity as:

                          Active Footprint (when you post, comment, like, upload, share)
                          Passive Footprint (when websites collect your data automatically (location, browsing, clicks))

                      Minimise Digital Footprint

                      A digital footprint can affect security, privacy, reputation, and overall well-being. Every online
                      action creates a trail. By keeping this trail small, a person stays safer, more private, and more in

                      control of the online identity.
