Social media can be a place to connect, learn, and, most of all, share. But how much do kids know about what they're sharing - and not just about themselves but each other? Help students think critically about their digital footprints on social media. This lesson teaches students how to identify reasons for using social media and the challenges that often come along with it, reflect on the responsibilities they have that are related to digital footprints - both their own and others' - when they're using social media, and identify ways to make the most of social media while still caring for the digital footprints of themselves and others. Free registration is required to access resources.
