Digital Footprint Multiple Choice Questions: 4th Grade Computer Science

📚 Quick Study Guide: Your Digital Footprint

• 👣 What is a Digital Footprint? It's all the information about you that exists online. Think of it like the traces you leave behind every time you use the internet – like footprints in the sand!
• 📸 What creates it? Things like pictures you post, comments you write, games you play, websites you visit, or even videos you watch can all become part of your digital footprint.
• 🤔 Why is it important? Because once something is online, it can often stay there forever. A positive digital footprint shows others you are kind, respectful, and responsible online.
• 👍 How to keep it positive? Always think before you post! Ask yourself: Is it kind? Is it safe? Would a grown-up approve?
• 🔒 Protecting Personal Information: Your full name, home address, phone number, and school name are private. Never share these online without a trusted grown-up's permission.
• ⚠️ What if you see something uncomfortable? If anything online makes you feel sad, scared, or uncomfortable, tell a trusted grown-up right away!
