**Digital Footprint/ Digital Citizenship**

A digital footprint is a track that is left by you that shows where you have been on the internet. People from around the world my find your trail from you filling out a form online, talking to people on a social network, and just veiwing a web page- leave a trail that you would want to leave.

Digital citizenship means how you act online. If you say mean things, you are not a good digital citizen- if you are kind to others, then you are a good digital citizen. Be a good digital citizen- only say what you would want others to see.

Good digital citizenship is standing up for someone who is being bullied. Also, treating others the way you want to be treated. If everyone followed the golden rule, there wouln't be any problems.

Some good examples of digital citizenship are reporting any bullying that is taking place on the internet. Also, making nice, positive comments on someone's post or picture.

Negative examples of digital citizenship is using inappropiate language, or saying hurtful things to another user. Another one is posting bad pictures or posting pictures of someone that they don't want you to post.
